Dave Pascoe

I've literally invested thousands of hours over the past decade+ researching health, fitness, performance, biology, longevity, anti-aging, and rejuvenation with the sole purpose of finding practical and simple (yet admittedly rather involved) steps that I can reasonably perform, along with methods for integrating them into my life in ways in which they would become totally automatic and require no additional thought, freeing me to focus on the bigger picture, which is to LIVE & ENJOY all the years of my life with abundant health and energy.

These are all the things that I share freely on this site to show you what's possible, in hopes that you'll find a little inspiration and borrow whatever you like to make it your own.

Vital Stats:

• Chronological Age: 62

• Current Epigenetic Age: 37.95

• Current Pace of Aging: 0.66 years per each calendar year

• RejuvenationOlympics.com Leaderboard ranking: Currently #14 (changes daily!), no longer ahead of Bryan Johnson (for now 😉)

• Height: 6 feet

• Weight: 167 pounds (75.75 kg)

• BMI: 22.1

• Marital Status: Single

• 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, stretching, and balancing.

• 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 rare, limited-edition, 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 & metabolite markers, and my epigenetics. Some of this experimentation (especially testing after negative life-events) has negatively impacted my average epigenetic scores, causing me to drop somewhat on the Rejuvenation Olympics Leaderboard. But I vow that this will only create a temporary setback, and that I will rise-up again in the ranks once I finish screwing around.😂😉

• 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 and am attempting to find better ways to present and structure it all. I have "firm convictions loosely held" and am always willing to change my thoughts and habits 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 my Audible Books, Podcast Subscriptions, and YouTube Subscriptions lists for an idea of where I have received some of my inspiration. Other sources in my life have included motivational speakers, most notably Tony Robbins).

• 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 am also now on a low-dose statin, since my latest CT scans showed some new mild plaque formation.

    • I don't outsource my health to someone else. I'll do the research & work myself and will gladly pay only for testing and occasional advice as a sanity check.

    • I don't care to measure or know the age of my individual body parts or organs, although the new Symphony Age data from TruDiagnostic, showing individual organ age as surmised via epigenetic biomarker proxies, is at least interesting to look at, despite it being mostly unactionable.

    • 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.

    • I have no interest in self-promoting, or in marketing my own personal brand of products, or believe that anyone is going to remember who I am next week, let alone in the next century or two. The people who will be remembered centuries from now are and will continue to be the scientists & researchers who are working to uncover the next major leaps in biotechnology, not the many of us who are simply applying those discoveries in our daily lives.

    • I don't believe that any pre-packaged, shelf-stable food is particularly healthy for you, so I'm not going to try to sell you my own personal brand of one. Instead, I'll try to encourage you to eat only real, live, whole foods in meals that you make yourself from scratch. Grow it yourself if you have to, in order to control what's in it, and what's been sprayed on it. Otherwise, you're just taking someone else's word for what's inside it, and we've all seen examples of product lables failing to match what's actually inside. Don't fall for snake oil & hyped-up marketing BS.

    • I do not believe that my n-of-1 experimentation in any way contributes to science, nor do I believe that it should be extrapolated and applied to the general population. Every body is different. Due to our differences in age, gender, genetics, current epigenetic status, diet, blood markers, microbiomes, and potential nutritional deficiencies, what might work for one person may not work for another.  I believe that you should not blindly follow any influencer, including me. You need to test to determine your own status - don't guess.  No one pre-packaged multi-supplement drink mix is going to be appropriate or gut-tolerable by everyone.

• I must sincerely admit that, were it not for Bryan Johnson's mistaken assumption that he is the healthiest person on the planet or that he is aging slower than any human in history, no one would have ever heard of me, nor would anyone have taken any interest in what I'm doing -- and I would have been perfectly fine with that.  I would be blissfully continuing to do all of these exact same things that I am doing, but in complete obscurity - and you'd be missing out on everything that I share here freely!
