This is a YouTube video titled "Discover the Secret to Slow Down Aging | Dr. Anurag Singh x Dave Asprey" featuring a discussion between Dave Asprey and Dr. Anurag Singh recorded in May 2024. The content is a conversation focused on aging, intermittent fasting, mitochondrial health, and supplements related to longevity and biohacking.
I'm a continuous guinea pig. So once I'm fully convinced that something works, I like to stop doing it just to see if the, the bad stuff comes back. And I, so I went through about the last year where I said I'm going to intermittent fast a lot less than I normally do. Right. So this is a variable that I'm fully convinced makes a difference. And if anything I got a little bit leaner probably because I, I'm also manipulating my cortisol levels artificially because my body has never made enough cortisol. So I can have too high or.
Too low pretty easily.
But what I found is that my speed of aging went up from 69% to 72%. So Brian Johnson is in all the news with a similar message to a superhuman. And he's, he's speaking at the next biohacking conference. I've interviewed him on the show. Really interesting guy. And his feet of aging is 72% on A, on a diet that includes collagen protein, other, other than that it's, it's plant based and it's kind of funny. So 72% speed of aging without oic and with much less intermittent fasting. But I feel like I'm aging a little bit faster cuz I don't fast as much as I did. Does that line up with what you know about aging?
Yeah, absolutely. I, I think there's, you know, there's, you probably have heard a lot of folks talk about these different hallmarks of aging and it's a continuum, right? It's not if you tackle one or two, if you, you know, hit on nutrient sensing or deprivation or mitochondrial dysfunction, you're not going to correct for everything. And that totally makes sense.
It would be kind of funny if you had a friend with like a high end sports car and like man, I change my tires every three months. This car is going to last forever. Like you'd laugh at them. But when it comes to longevity, a lot of people are saying, well there must be one thing. And as far as I can tell, there's a lot of things. But if you want one thing, it's have badass mitochondria. And fasting is a part of that. I think that timeline is a meaningful part of that. But there's a whole bunch of other supplements like adequate minerals, your fat soluble vitamins and of course longtime listeners. Dave's about to say vitamindake.com, which is the fat soluble minerals that I take that I created. Sorry, fat soluble vitamins that drive minerals and of course endanger coffee.
