Optimizing Biomarkers: Tracking for Longevity

Discover the importance of measuring aging biomarkers and how "course correcting" them with food or supplements can help you optimize your health and longevity.

Michael's basic premise is that aging and disease are biochemical processes that happen over many decades. So if we can track just even the standard biomarkers of organ and systemic function, that's the things you usually get at a yearly physical, even just starting there, if you can track and then knowing how these biomarkers change during aging, and how they relate to all cause mortality risk, or risk of death for all causes, then in theory, you can slow the rate of aging of multiple organ systems down slow your rate of disease and potentially maximize longevity.
Since 2015, Michael has been blood testing up to seven times a year, in order to get a year to year change, to see where his status is. Tracking diet every day, fitness related metrics, cardiovascular system, sleep, the oral microbiome now and epigenetics. He is looking at correlations between the outcome variables with the diet and everything else then, of course, correcting after every test, with the goal of slowing the changes in these biomarkers.
