I'm targeting health, fitness, performance, longevity, anti-aging, and rejuvenation. To some, these may sound like the same things, but they are vastly different!
Exercise: Walking, Running, Hiking, P90X, Yoga, Pilates, CAROL AI bike
Occupation: Newly retired, former Network Security Architect/Engineer, massage therapist, and life-long programmer/hacker, now full-time biohacker and AI enthusiast.
Linked-In Profile
Philosophy: I consider my body to be like a prized racehorse, or a cherished high-end performance vehicle. I will only ever get this one, so just like any valued possession, I will treat it with reverence and will invest heavily in its appearance, performance, fuel, care & maintenance. I only wish that I knew & applied everything I know now, decades ago!
Currently taking about 130 individual supplements/day. That's over 170+ capsules/day (currently 83 morning, 96 evening) of about 107 pill-type supplements + another 20 in powder form, mixed in drinks.
I am a constant self-experimenter, willing to try anything new to see how it might affect me, my blood markers, and my epigenetics. However, ranking on the Leaderboard of The Rejuvenation Olympics now has me not wanting to experiment with new things, lest I negatively affect my standing temporarily! 😂😉
This site will be an ever-changing document based off of my experimentation, learnings, and philosophy as it continuously evolves, so check back in from time to time to see how it has changed. I am usually updating something somewhere nearly every day. I have "firm convictions loosely held" and am always willing to change my thoughts and ways as new information emerges.
Unlike most of the folks on the original Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard, I am not currently sponsored by ANY Biotech firm or clinic! I've been flying completely solo for more than a decade "on a budget", utilizing everything I can learn from freely available published research, books, expert podcasts, and expert YouTube channels (see Audible Books, Podcast Subscriptions, and YouTube Subscriptions lists).

Self-observed differences from Bryan Johnson:
- - I'm chronologically 16 years older.
  - I am not a Vegan.
  - I am not Caloric Restricted.
  - In fact, I don't pay attention to calories at all. By limiting simple carbohydrates most of the time, I eat as much as I like without gaining weight and apparently without increasing my rate of aging.
  - I don't eat the same thing day after day, unless what I prepared was too much for a single meal. I strive for nutritional density but also diversity. I would like to include even more meal variations. I simply need to make time to experiment with their preparation and then to incorporate them (like black beans and lentils). Doing so is on my roadmap. I am also determined to begin cooking my greens before blending them into a smoothie, like Julie Gibson Clark (also ranked on the Rejuvenation Olympics) does!
  - I am NOT on testosterone replacement hormone. In 2023, my T remained in the range of 808-1262 in monthly testing. I also intentionally avoid personal care products that contain endocrine-disrupting ingredients. However, I do understand that caloric restriction is known to drive T low, necessitating supplementation. To me, that's just another reason to not be caloric restricted. It apparently isn't completely necessary in order to have a slower rate of aging, but it does have me wondering whether it would move the needle even further for me, if I did.
  - I AM on thyroid replacement hormone, T3 & T4, since my thyroid stopped working in my early 30s.
  - I don't outsource my health to someone else. I'll do the work myself and gladly pay only for occasional advice as a sanity check.
  - I don't care to measure and know the age of my individual organs.
  - I'm willing to live with some imperfections on my face and skin.
  - I leave no inexpensive well-studied intervention off the table, like sauna, or cold therapy.

Special thanks to Bryan Johnson for drawing so much good attention to the Longevity & Rejuvenation space and sharing all that he is doing, and for co-creating the Rejuvenation Olympics with TruDiagnostic!

Original RejuvenationOlympics.com Leaderboard standing from Sept 2023 - June 2024

Latest RejuvenationOlympics.com Leaderboard standing, as of June 2024.

Bryan has recently moved up in the ranks since his Follistatin gene therapy, which seems to have finally prompted an update to the Leaderboard (after being notably stagnant for 8 months). It looks as though our oldest test scores (greater than 24 months) have now been dropped, which has accounted for both of our Average Pace scores notably improving.

Going by the old rules, I'd assumed they were going to continue ranking us by our best annual pace score, so I dared to retest again after being sick through half of Dec '23, all of Jan '24 and half of Feb, and then retesting again after my 30 days in Italy (Mar-Apr '24) just to see how badly being sick and my 30 days of lack of sleep plus high carb, high sugar, and high caffeine diet affected my pace of aging and epigenetics. I even intentionally retested again after 30 days of very high physical stress in August! I learned firsthand how each of those things actually DO increase your pace of aging and your epigenetic age!

But the Rejuvenation Olympics (RO) is now going by the averages of your 3 best scores over the previous 24 months. This means that my curiosity has shot me in the foot. If I want to rank higher in the competition, then I need to stop retesting after my worst-of-times events! These low scores are dragging my average down! I'm going to need to begin retesting only at my best, and often, to climb back up in the ranks. <sigh>

I'm also disappointed to see that the RO is no longer posting chronological age (although I wish they were), but I'm glad that they are no longer considering "age adjusted" scores. They are now treating a 20-year-old, a 30-year-old, a 46-year-old, and a 62-year-old as though they are exactly the same. Frankly, I like this, because I'm honored and proud that I'm NOT being given ANY special consideration for my age in this competition, and that I'm still holding my own. 😉 But if I'm being beaten again by a 15-year-old, I'd really like to know about it! Right now, there's no way for us to know.

I'm actually pleased to see myself moving down the RO Leaderboard rankings daily due to new entrants that have some truly impressive paces of aging! Maybe the next new Longevity Leader will be you??

My Continued Path Forward:

My aim is to continue targeting all of the known Hallmarks of Aging with all of the presently known and available interventions, as well as to STOP the unnecessary and unwitting acceleration of aging due to societally-accepted practices, such as, but not limited to:

poor food choices,
damaging food preparation & cooking methods,
the consumption of damaging ingredients, including but not limited to:
- - added sugars and sugar alcohols,
  - industrial seed oils,
  - emulsifiers,
  - preservatives,
  - artificial dyes/coloring,
  - artificial flavoring,
  - pesticides,
  - herbicides,
  - exogenous hormones,
  - endocrine disrupters,
  - heavy metals,
  - microplastics
factory farming methods
parasites
toxic and chemical exposures in everyday personal care, cleaning products, textiles, air, and water

and to continue working to stay strong, flexible, and with good spatial balance in order to stay youthful, sharp, vibrant, fit, and healthy for as long as is truly humanly possible, until the age of my natural death.

In other words, to age well -- as well as is humanly possible -- which can be far better than we've learned to accept.

My parents were each able to live to the age of 89, despite not exercising, being relatively sedentary, not eating properly, smoking and drinking. They also battled various cancers and diseases for their last 25 years of life.

I don't desire my healthspan to expire before my lifespan. My aim is to make them as equal as possible. My expectation is to live at the very least to the age of 95 in terrific shape (because I am continuing to put in the necessary work now), if not well-past the age of 110, God willing.

Advances in health & anti-aging sciences are coming very quickly now, and even more will be coming over the ensuing 40-50 years that hold the promise of extending lifespan & healthspan even further.

As long as I'm able to continue learning, growing, and contributing, while experiencing love, connection, and adventure to the fullest, then I'll remain up for the challenge of sticking around!
