GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic & Wegovy aren’t just for weight loss.
They reduce inflammation & lower risks of diabetes, heart disease, even dementia.
But challenges remain: cost, access, side effects.

Nasal breathing is awesome!

Breathing through your nose gives you a 6x boost in nitric oxide (NO).

That means better blood vessel dilation and a calmer heart.

And it can lead to up to 16% better oxygen absorption.

A minimalist formula for measuring your progress towards healthy aging:
– Cardio → track VO2max
– Resistance training → track grip strength
– Breathwork → track HRV
– Quality sleep → track Deep & REM sleep
– Mediterranean diet → track blood markers

Here's the book I'm reading now.

Highlights:
-Very recent (May 6, 2025)
-Strong scientific foundation

Drawbacks:
-Dense and technical — might feel overwhelming
-A bit dry — don’t expect many stories

The Mediterranean diet is one of the few backed by randomized trials.

Want to live longer? It’s a solid bet.

Observational studies? Take with a grain of salt — they can't control who gets what, so healthier or more motivated individuals might skew the results.

My Resting Heart Rate's trend is still down, and HRV up, after more than 20 days of breathwork, nice!

1g per pound of body weight may not be the best advice for longevity according to the recent book "Super Agers" by Eric Topol ...

How much is the ideal nap time?

I’ve read in “why we sleep” that some tribes have been shown to take a nap of around 35 to 40min midday.

But usually I prefer 20 to 25min to avoid sleep inertia (being awaken on the “deep sleep” stage).

This helps waking up refreshed and fully alert.

Metformin, GLP-1 and now glibenclamide. So many diabetic drugs are also good for longevity!

1/ The immortal jellyfish, Turritopsis dohrnii, is one of nature's most fascinating creatures.

It has the remarkable ability to essentially reverse its aging process!

Let’s dive into the science behind this amazing phenomenon. 🧵👇

Just finished reading Why We Sleep by Matt Walker (
@sleepdiplomat.bsky.social ).

Absolutely fascinating—couldn't put it down! 📖

The insights into sleep science and its impact on longevity are mind-blowing.

Curious to explore new research since its 2017 release. Anyone know of recent updates? 🧠💤

🎉 Just wrapped up the first prototype of my longevity app! 🚀

For now, it's just for close friends & family, but a beta version is on the way.

🧠 The app starts with 4 questions—I'll share them soon!

Cold exposure isn't just about cold showers.

In winter, try:

- Lowering or turning off radiators
- Taking out trash in a t-shirt
- Running in a t-shirt
- Sleeping with a slightly open window

Small steps build resilience!
