Deep dives
Toying deficiency and its impact on health span and lifespan
The podcast discusses a comprehensive study on toying levels and their impact on health span and lifespan. The researchers found that toying levels decline with age, leading to a resistance of toying metabolism at the tissue level. This decline in toying levels and its downstream products was observed in mice, worms, monkeys, and aged humans. However, with supplementation of once daily toying, the animals lived longer and healthier lives, as evidenced by improvements in various health span metrics. The researchers also noted that the efficacy of supplementation varied based on the specific health parameter and the organ being studied.
