Around minute 25, the discussion emphasized it is nearly impossible to find the perfect cocktail ( I’m talking supplements) due to genetic variability. I had a frozen shoulder and saw a naturopathic chiropractor who used unconventional techniques and I was 100% better. During one of my visits we were talking supplements and I brought all the ones I was taking. He muscle tested me and then showed me how to muscle test myself. What I have found is the body doesn’t lie. A for instance, since I have type 1 diabetes I started taking berberine. Close to 70 here and thankfully no heart disease, yet I began having palpitations. When I started muscle testing every single thing that I ingested, found some of the Supplements I was taking on a daily basis were not good for my body. Some I only needed to take every third day. Some I needed to take more than recommended dose. And the Berberine was a no go - every day. A week or so later, after no berberine, the palpitations went away. Anecdotal? Perhaps. Really interesting conversation. Was recently talking to my doctor about rapamycin - such an interesting yet not fully understood treatment for age related issues.
Thanks for another engaging episode! With all recent talk about risk of AI & AGI, I wonder; What are the risks of creating an organism that never aged and never died, that escaped the lab? Not an alarmist, just toying with the idea of a runaway entity taking over the world. The biological version of AGI? 😂
It's true that we eventually need to test interventions in people, but testing them in model organisms like worms first is an important step in R&D for a number of reasons: safety concerns, ethics, cost, time-efficiency (C. elegans lifespan is about 3 weeks, so we only need to wait roughly that long to see if an intervention has had an effect on lifespan-far shorter than we would have to wait for the same thing in humans). - Tara
If the molecule I chose showed a great success, that researched molecule results will be published with my name

Great interview!
Awesome 🤖🪱
So, have any natural compounds (of food origin) been screened yet?
Hello - mentioned near end was berberine and a acidic compound found in pomegranates.
Hopefully altos labs will take advantage of this.
Is there a known reason why some of the control groups have big differences in livespans?
I have seen that they use different temperatures, what is the reason?

We need to test interventions in people not worms!
