Key Points: Aging is an insidious process, during which disadvantageous alterations to our cells progressively accumulate. However, melatonin — a hormone primarily secreted from a structure in the brain called the pineal gland — may potentially counteract these disease-triggering alterations. Possibly due to the calcification of the pineal gland, melatonin levels gradually decline with age. The… Continue reading Does Melatonin Improve Cognition? What the Latest Research Says

New Mayo Clinic Research Links Skin Aging to Cognitive Decline
Key Points: Our heart pumps blood to every organ in our body via the circulatory system, which provides our cells with vital oxygen and nutrients. However, this system can also work against us by spreading age-promoting molecules. According to a new Mayo Clinic study, some of these molecules may even travel from the skin to… Continue reading New Mayo Clinic Research Links Skin Aging to Cognitive Decline
Metformin Slows Brain Aging in Older Monkeys, New Research Shows
Key Points: Our brain helps us to learn and remember information that helps us navigate reality and interact socially. When our brains age, our ability to learn and remember declines. However, certain anti-aging compounds may slow this decline. One of these compounds is metformin, and scientists have recently found it to improve learning and memory… Continue reading Metformin Slows Brain Aging in Older Monkeys, New Research Shows
Is Apigenin Safe? And How it Improves Sleep and Aging
Key Points: In our fast-paced world, getting a good night’s sleep can be hard. A new survey showed that about 40 million (12%) Americans suffer from insomnia. Those with insomnia have difficulty falling or staying asleep and/or regularly wake up earlier than desired. This lack of adequate rest leads to daytime fatigue, depression, and anxiety.… Continue reading Is Apigenin Safe? And How it Improves Sleep and Aging
Taking Viagra to Improve Memory and Prevent Dementia
Key Points: In a podcast with James Altucher, Dr. Sinclair said that taking low-dose Viagra is becoming popular. Viagra is the brand name for sildenafil, a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction and high blood pressure in the lungs. In the podcast, Altucher mentions that he can’t imagine taking Viagra to perform better at chess.… Continue reading Taking Viagra to Improve Memory and Prevent Dementia
Stanford Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman’s Nutrient and Supplement List for Brain Health
Brain Health Nutrients and Supplements: In a Huberman Lab episode, Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., discusses the top nutrients involved in brain function. These nutrients may maintain brain health over time, potentially counteracting the memory loss and cognitive deficits that occur with aging. EPA (1.5-3g/day) Huberman declares that fat is the most important food element for brain… Continue reading Stanford Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman’s Nutrient and Supplement List for Brain Health
Biohacker Gary Brecka on the Anti-Aging Capabilities of Methylene Blue
Key Points: Gary Brecka knows a lot about what makes people live longer. As a former life insurance actuary, he predicted the lifespan of clients based on their age and medical history. Brecka now hosts the Ultimate Human podcast, where he discusses health, wellness, and longevity with guests like Steve Aoki. In a recent podcast… Continue reading Biohacker Gary Brecka on the Anti-Aging Capabilities of Methylene Blue
Rhonda Patrick Reveals How Intense Workouts Can Revolutionize Your Lifespan
Key Points: Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a celebrity biochemist and aging expert, says that if we could reap the benefits of exercise in the form of a pill, it would be the best longevity supplement available. In a presentation she gave at the Longevity Fest 2023, Dr. Patrick says that we can harness a vigorous exercise… Continue reading Rhonda Patrick Reveals How Intense Workouts Can Revolutionize Your Lifespan
Research Supports Apigenin’s Anti-Aging Benefits on The Brain
Key Points: The most common cause of neurodegenerative disorders, which are characterized by the degeneration of the brain and include conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, is the process of aging. In spite of the fact that this area of research has attracted a significant number of researchers and an absurd amount of funding, there isn’t… Continue reading Research Supports Apigenin’s Anti-Aging Benefits on The Brain
Researchers Use Gold Nanoparticles to Treat Neurodegenerative Disease
Key Points: Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes due to the degeneration and death of brain cells. These changes in the brain are thought to be caused by the buildup of abnormal protein in the brain, causing damage and eventually killing brain cells. In this… Continue reading Researchers Use Gold Nanoparticles to Treat Neurodegenerative Disease
