🔟 Beyond aging, Topol explores gene-editing promises, immune-cell engineering, digital biomarkers, mental health, and rare-disease breakthroughs. Basic science that complements, rather than repeats, @PeterAttiaMD’s Outlive, and #VankiRamakrishnan's Why We Die, pointing to.

9️⃣ The tech titans who spent their 20s chasing billions now pour those billions into age-defying startups. "When they were young, they wanted to be rich. Now that they're rich, they want to be young" - Venki Ramakrishnan.

8️⃣ AI now flags early pancreatic cancer on routine non-contrast CT scans, out-scoring radiologists. Potential to enhance our capabilities in specific cases, but far from replacing radiologists.

7️⃣ GLP-1s (e.g. Wegovy, Zepbound) protect the heart even before weight drops. Next-gen triples like retatrutide slash weight by 50%. However, no exit strategy yet to avoid rebound weight gain, and muscle loss remains a risk. Combo therapies to offset muscle wasting are already in.

6️⃣ Taurine (maybe our hidden hero). In monkeys, it boosted bone, lowered glucose, and decreased DNA damage. Best sources: scallops, dark poultry, dairy. No evidence yet that taurine supplements are beneficial.

5️⃣ Thinking of full-time keto diet?.Long-term mouse and human data show faster cellular aging, again tied to increased leucine. Short keto sprints may help, but marathons look dangerous.

4️⃣ Mediterranean Diet still rules. Can decrease the risk of recurrent heart attacks and death by up to 70 %. 30g fiber + daily handful of nuts = healthy heart and gut.

3️⃣ Protein is vital, but balance is key. About 1.2 g/kg a day fuels muscle; above 1.5 g/kg spikes leucine, inflammation, and risk of atherosclerosis.

2️⃣ Ultra-processed foods do more than pad waistlines. They clog arteries and cloud brains. A small bump in UPF can increase cognitive impairment risk by 16%. Scan products labels with the Open Food Facts app to get them out of your lives!.
