I just upgraded my annual blood test with FOXO Primer and got more than I imagined. Because of an autoimmune issue, I’ve had to do more “understanding” of my blood tests than most people, who often look at ranges, underlines, and move on. My annual tests were already more than standard packages, and I had learned to understand inflammation trackers and other markers earlier than I would have liked :) But I knew there was more to know. The challenge was that going beyond standard or expanded tests was either too expensive, too fragmented, or missing the most important layer: someone looking at everything holistically and giving advice that worked across systems. Over the last few years, this has changed globally. Access to extensive biomarker testing has become easier, cheaper, and increasingly paired with medical professionals who know how to correlate results. FOXO brought this to India with FOXO Primer, a comprehensive 200+ biomarker assessment that combines clinical history, system-level analysis, and practical guidance to help you understand how your body is functioning and what you can do to improve it. I was genuinely impressed by the overall experience. We invested in FOXO at the founding stage because we had been clear on this opportunity for a while. But hearing founder Subhendu’s personal journey of “fixing his health”, the journey that led to FOXO, made the mission feel even more real. Nothing drives mission orientation like a personal story, and I could relate to his too. I believe the future of preventive healthcare will be driven by companies like FOXO: helping us understand our health earlier, act sooner, and hopefully avoid many reactive doctor visits later. Think of them as our future “pre-GPs.” Worth exploring if you’ve been curious but sitting on the sidelines: foxo.club/primer

@nixxin Very inspiring. Wish you strength to carry on.

Jagdeep uncle donated his body to scientific research. Meaningful and serving the country in life, and in death. The college told us that not many people do this. In case any of you wish to consider this option of donating your body to scientific research when you go, please ask around in your city. x.com/DirectorLHMC/s…

My uncle Jagdeep Chhokar @JagdeepChhokar , co-founder of @adrspeaks passed away early this morning. His lifes work, after he retired from IIM-A, was towards improving our democracy, irrespective of political party. Whether it was his pushback against simultaneous elections, petitioning the Supreme Court in the Pegasus case, or more recently related to Bihar's voter lists, it's something that he continued working on tirelessly. I joked with him at his 80th birthday celebration last year that while most people teach their kids how to stay out of trouble, I learned from him how to get into trouble (fighting the good fight for freedoms). Will really miss our banter.

🧤 82-year-old goalkeeper Lamberto Boranga is training to make a comeback in the Italian 7th tier with Trevi He played 250 games in Serie A/B during the 1960/70s and puts his longevity down to a good diet & regular exercise (specifically including s*x!) What a force of nature

In traditional healthcare, if your test results aren’t too high or too low, you’re told you’re fine. We equate ‘normal range’ with ‘healthy’, assuming all is well. But ‘normal’ is a statistical construct. It reflects the middle 95% of values from a reference population.

The most important rule of life is that there are exceptions to every rule. Got to keep seeking.

Often when I feel that I don't have time for something, I realise that I actually don't have the space for it. And while I may never understand it, it helps me grasp a bit of the space-time theory.

@ChandniDD @skipiit Simplest bio hack.

Going to add two boiled eggs to my lunch. Been a while since I’ve felt “full” after my meals. Like @skipiit and @gehani say, there are no bad foods. Just bad meals. So I shall focus on making mine better.

Make Alcohol Great Again!

@SwagAnusaar Intense indeed 🤘

intense full body circuit

@saurabh Then you don't know how much you really have 😉

@gehani Nah. You can give more than what you have. Speaking from personal experience. If you want more on DM or call :D

It’s incredibly easy to throw a bone or two to the hungry and destitute if you have a full jungle to yourself. Show me a man who cuts a part of his body to feed you. And then we’d talk.

@mikebeckhamsm @bryan_johnson Agree on the future being hyper personalised, super excited about it. But 5k IU of Vitamin D3 is a lot, and can lead to toxicity.

This is my daily supplement stack I'm not trying to live forever like @bryan_johnson, but I'm not interested in dying anytime soon. Here's how I built it. For years I have been piecing together the combination I use from different things I read on the internet, but this year I rebuilt it from the ground up. Here's how I did it: 1. I invested in comprehensive blood work from @function based on a conversation with @calleymeans The good news was most of my markers looked great, but there were some areas of concern. I took all my biomarkers and medical history and uploaded it to Chat GPT as context. Then I told it my goals and the current supplements I take. I worked with it to formulate the perfect choice of supplements and dosages for my body. Here's the new daily supplement regimen I use Psyllium Husk: 500mg Vitamin D3: 5000iu Trans-Resveratrol Complex: 605mg DHEA: 100mg NAC: 600mg BCAA: 1000mg Niagen: 300mg Omega 3 Oils: 4080mg Berberine: 1200mg IP6: 800mg Magnesium Glycinate: 400mg Ashwagandha: 300mg Tumeric: 1500mg Prebiotic and Probiotic: 370mg Vitamin K2: 400mcg Red Yeast Rice: 1200mg CoQ10: 200mg Vitamin E: 180mg Alpha Lipoic Acid: 600mg Milk Thistle: 500mg Taurine: 1000mg B6: 50mg B12: 1000mg Folate: 665mcg Astaxanthin: 4mg Spermidine: 10mg Vitamin C: 1000mg Potassium: 550mg L-Citrulline: 2000mg Zinc: 100mg I think this is a glimpse of the future. Health is going to be much more personalized. It's exciting to see how it will expand healthspan and reduce suffering. Ok longevity and health experts, what am I not using that I should consider?

It's a weird feeling when a brand I'm fond of raises VC money. I feel excited for them, but too often the quality goes down.

One more factor to consider is the source of red meat, or what it was fed. A big problem with our food (meat or vegetables, milk or eggs) is how it is grown.
