@brittanybussemd "perfect skin" just makes an old person look like an old person with perfect skin 😆
it's not really a win since it does nothing for SMAS and adipose tissue volume and structure

Guys, I had all the skin peeled from my face using lasers, and now my skin's age is the same as that of a newborn baby.
Follow me for more things that are completely irrelevant to your healthspan.

@bryan_johnson If sauna was anything significant, millions of Finnish people would be aging better.

I think I need to be fired.
I've done 232 dry sauna sessions.
Last week I confirmed, for the first time (by swallowing a pill), whether the core temperature threshold that gates the primary cellular repair mechanism was actually being reached in my protocol.
The threshold is 102.2°F (39.0°C). For me, that takes 33 min at 195°F. With ice on face and neck, 38min.
My standard daily protocol was 20 minutes. That wasn’t enough time to get my core body temp to the heat shock threshold of 102.2°F (39.0°C).
Causing me to ask, did I just waste 77 hours and 20 min?
It's possible my heat threshold has increased and the heat shock protein release was happening previously, but I doubt it based upon the subjective feeling I now understand as being 102.2F (39.0°C). It’s brutal.
For these 232 sessions, I measured the temperature of the air, humidity, duration, frequency, the sweat output, blood biomarkers, vascular response, toxin clearance and fertility markers. There is no human body in history that has been more measured in sauna than mine.
Nevertheless, I did not confirm the one number that determines whether the primary mechanism was activating.
My goal wasn't to be a sauna bro. It was to saunamaxx. I was doing the former while thinking I was doing the latter.
I rest my case. I should probably be fired.

We're still in the stone age for anti-aging.
pharma and all the Harvard lab managers want to keep this molecular subscription model to marginally useful NAD+ boosters, glutathione etc.
Direct energy stimulation of stem cells, and other rejuvenation processes, with UV bio-photons, vibration etc who knows what but it's coming in a few decades.

Aging does not happen linearly, but in bursts.
We experience acceleration periods where gene expression shifts rapidly once we reach a damage threshold.
Your body compensates until it doesn't. This is why some people can age 10 years in 2 and some people can look the same after 2 decades.
The logical approach then is to not slow down aging per se, but to prevent these thresholds from collapsing prematurely. These shifts are natural (eg puberty, menopause), but their acceleration doesn't have to be. Chronic stress, the biological kind, is clearly an accelerator for these aging thresholds and should be northstar priority.

@bryan_johnson Respect the disclosure. The persistence of that nasolabial line is frustrating after RF devices and skin boosters.

@giveashitnature Seems like a good reason to not eat oysters lol 🤢
English
Same water. Same tank.
But the one on the right has oysters.
A single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day.
Oyster reefs in the Chesapeake Bay once filtered the entire Bay, 19 trillion gallons, in under a week.
Today, with less than 1% of the original oyster population remaining, it takes over a year.
We ate them. We dredged their reefs. We dumped nitrogen into their water until the algae blooms choked what was left.
And now we build billion dollar water treatment plants to do what oysters did for free.
The Billion Oyster Project is working to restore oyster reefs in New York Harbor.
Restored reefs in Maryland's Harris Creek can now filter the entire creek in under 10 days and remove nitrogen equivalent to 20,000 bags of fertilizer every year.
Nature had this figured out. We just have to restore the oysters and get out of the way.

@maximumpain333 You're literally making this up.
And probably written by AI.

The most dangerous lie in human history isn’t about food.
It isn’t about medicine.
It is about sleep.
For 200,000 years, humans did not sleep 8 hours.
That number was invented in 1938 by a mattress company called Simmons Beautyrest.
Before that campaign, the average human slept in two shifts.
Historians call it “Biphasic Sleep.”
You would sleep for 4 hours, wake up for 2, then sleep for another 4.
During that 2-hour window, people would pray, have s*x, write, think, and connect with their families.
Some of the greatest works in human history were created in that sacred middle window.
Shakespeare wrote most of his plays between 1AM and 3AM during his second wake period.
Mozart composed entire symphonies in what he called “The God Hours.”
Then the Industrial Revolution needed workers on a fixed schedule.
You cannot run a factory on biphasic sleep.
So they hired a psychologist named Dr. Nathaniel Kleitman to “prove” that 8 consecutive hours was the biological standard.
He faked the studies.
He was funded entirely by the mattress industry.
And the medical establishment adopted his research without question because it aligned with the factory model.
They turned the most creative 2 hours of human consciousness into a “sleep disorder.”
They called it “Insomnia.”
They medicated it.
They gaslight an entire generation that 8 hours of continuous sleep was healthy.
They pathologized the exact window of consciousness that produced some of the greatest art, music, and literature in human history.
You are not an insomniac.
You are experiencing the most natural form of human consciousness.
And a mattress company convinced you it was a disease.
Stop medicating your genius.
Wake up at 2AM.
Write the thing.
The “God Hours” are calling.

Guys, I’m an idiot. All this time I’ve spent trying not to die, I had toxic turf in my backyard. Artificial turf contains crumb rubber infill made from recycled tires, which leaches chemicals including PFAS, heavy metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These compounds are linked to hormone disruption, carcinogenicity, and systemic inflammation.
I don’t know how I missed it. It makes me question my basic competence in life.
What gets me is that I try so hard to survey the world of potential idiocy. Then I find out there’s a monument to idiocy sitting right in front of my face that I was blind to.
I’m removing the turf, yet I’m still stuck with this seemingly unsolvable problem of how to not be an idiot.

@TheracelLab if melatonin makes you miserable it's probably from one or more depleted cofactors
🧠 B6, magnesium, zinc, NAD+ or CoQ10
Excess of 90% of the melatonin in your body is created inside mitochondria, it's not just for sleep
English
"Take your melatonin," they said. "It's natural," they said.
A study presented at the American Heart Association's 2025 Scientific Sessions reviewed 5 years of health records for over 130,000 adults with insomnia. Half used melatonin for at least a year. Half didn't.
The results: long-term melatonin users had a 90% higher chance of developing heart failure. They were 3.5 times more likely to be hospitalized for it. And twice as likely to die from any cause.
The lead researcher said: "Melatonin supplements may not be as harmless as commonly assumed."
Here's what bothers me from a metabolic standpoint. Most people taking melatonin nightly aren't dealing with a melatonin deficiency. They have a blood sugar problem. Their liver runs out of glycogen by 2-3am, cortisol and adrenaline spike to compensate, and they wake up wired. Or they're so sympathetically dominant from stress, undereating, or caffeine that their nervous system physically can't switch off.
So instead of fixing the metabolic root, they suppress the symptom with a hormone. Nightly & for years. And now we're seeing what happens when you override your own hormonal signaling with exogenous melatonin long-term.
This study is observational, but the pattern is hard to ignore.
Before reaching for melatonin, try the basics: eat enough during the day so your liver has glycogen at night. Have a snack before bed, milk with honey, fruit with cheese. Get morning sunlight to set your circadian rhythm naturally. Address the stress and the undereating. Let the body make its own melatonin when the conditions are right.
