Degrees of Health “How I Dropped My Biological Age by 20 Years" Part 1 | Michael Lustgarten, PhD
We all age. But what if we could slow it down, reshape it, or even pause it altogether?
After connecting over one of our most viewed episodes with Dr. Glen Jefferys, we got to hear from scientist and relentlessly curious longevity researcher Dr. Michael Lustgarten. He’s been tracking over 50 biomarkers for nearly a decade and has reduced his biological age by more than 20 years.
In this episode, we explore what that process looks like for Michael with data. Lots of data.
We cover:
🧪 How to interpret and act on blood markers
🔁 Supplement cycles, blood work feedback & knowing when to stop
🧬 Hormones, hypothyroidism, and adjusting thyroid meds over time
🧠 SHBG, testosterone & why 'high' isn’t always better
☀️ The underestimated power of light, sleep, and rhythm
🧊 Would he freeze himself? Yes - and here’s why
🔮 What consciousness might teach us about aging
This episode is a goldmine for listeners who are already tracking labs, looking for more advanced interpretation strategies, trying to refine their own protocols and avoid over-supplementation or 'stack overload'.
