Episode 98 : 3 outils pour mesurer ta longévité à bas prix

In this French‑language bio‑hacking podcast, Ali Braggs (naturopathe, author of C’est toi la boss de ta vie) explains why tracking biological age is essential for women who want to age healthily, lose fat and keep a youthful appearance. She argues that chronological age is not the same as biological age and that inexpensive, at‑home tests can give actionable feedback on longevity. She presents three affordable tools (all under $150) that she uses herself and recommends to her community: 1) a hand‑grip dynamometer to measure grip strength, a proxy for muscular, metabolic, cardiovascular and neuro‑cognitive health; 2) a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) – a wearable glucomètre – to track 24‑hour glucose trends, identify spikes, insulin resistance and glycation, all of which accelerate cellular aging; 3) an automatic blood‑pressure cuff (tensiometer) with an orthostatic test to assess vascular health, autonomic balance and stress. For each tool she describes how to use it, what values are considered optimal for women at different ages (e.g., grip strength >80 lb at 20 y, >85 lb for top 10 % at 30 y; fasting glucose 4‑5 mmol, post‑prandial <6‑7 mmol; BP 110‑120/70‑80 mmHg), cites large cohort studies (Lancet, Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience) linking these markers to mortality, sarcopenia, insulin resistance, dementia, and cardiovascular disease. She also shares practical ways to improve each metric (farmer’s carry, deadlifts, hand‑grippers, magnesium, creatine, cold exposure for grip; low‑glycemic diet, fiber, intermittent fasting, exercise for glucose; salt/electrolyte balance, stress management, autonomic training for BP). The episode ends with a vision of a future longevity clinic where clients stay for 1‑2 weeks for comprehensive biomarker testing, and an invitation to join her 13 000‑woman bio‑hacker community for further support.
