Did you know the “probiotic” sodas Olipop and Poppi are both facing lawsuits for exaggerating their gut health claims? Jessica did a deep dive to discover which probiotics for longevity are *actually* scientifically backed:


Ignore the gut health hype & choose the best probiotics for longevity based on science– Microbial strains, capsule types & ingredients matter!

Free Biological Age Calculator https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2024/11/free-biological-age-calculator https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2024/11/free-biological-age-calculator#respond Wed, 20 Nov 2024 19:24:43 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/11/free-biological-age-calculator

We converted the calculations in Morgan Levine and Steve Horvath’s famous research paper on phenotypic age into a free biological age calculator.

It’s a great (cheap) alternative to $400 epigenetic age tests and means you can test more frequently to see if longevity interventions are actually…


This free biological age calculator is based on a pioneering paper by longevity experts Dr. Morgan Levine and Dr. Steve Horvath.

The paper, titled “An epigenetic biomarker of aging for lifespan and healthspan,” used some super-advanced machine learning techniques to find blood biomarkers which are significantly correlated with aging-related health outcomes, including mortality.

Essentially, they are able to use the results from this test to predict how near (or far away) you are from death.

Unfortunately, while the science behind sauna use for longevity seems more convincing than cold plunging, saunas themselves cost a lot more than cold plunges…


Heat therapy seems to be good for longevity, so we looked around for the top-rated home saunas to bring those health benefits to you.

Rapamycin and Longevity: A Few Thoughts On Dosing https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2024/04/rapamycin-and-longevity-a-few-thoughts-on-dosing Thu, 18 Apr 2024 19:28:52 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/04/rapamycin-and-longevity-a-few-thoughts-on-dosing

What’s the optimal way to dose a longevity drug like rapamycin? Nils Osmar looks at some different studies that provide a possible answer:


It’s worth noting that mTORC2 is not directly inhibited by rapamycin under most circumstances, but can be under some. Some studies have found that after prolonged use, rapamycin can also begin inhibiting mTORC2 (see study: Alternative rapamycin treatment regimens mitigate the impact of rapamycin on glucose homeostasis and the immune system).

So taking breaks from rapamycin may also be beneficial.

Could taking some time off undermine rapamycin’s anti-aging benefits? It’s hard to know for sure, because people are so long-lived there’s no way to test its effects on human aging directly. But in mice, at least, it’s been found that administering rapamycin for two weeks out of every four can still significantly extend lifespan (see study: Alternative rapamycin treatment regimens mitigate the impact of rapamycin on glucose homeostasis and the immune system).
