Episode notes
Measuring Biological Age
- Measure biological age with the Horvath clock, not just chronological age.
- This clock predicts biological age and mortality more accurately than telomeres.
Unified Theory of Aging
- Aging has multiple causes, not just telomere shortening.
- The information theory of aging suggests a unified underlying cause.
Metformin and Muscle Growth
- Metformin mimics caloric restriction, activating longevity genes.
- Cycle metformin (on/off days) to potentially mitigate impact on muscle growth.
