Rejuvenation Olympics Athletes

When you think of an athlete, you imagine strenuous training regimens, right? Well there is a new kind of athlete, where the competition is won by aging at the slowest rate. Yes, there is a whole community of people who are working to acheive their own personal best health and now modern technology allows us to measure your biological age, which may be a more accurate measure of health.

I've been a rejuvenation athlete since I entered medical school, way before we had a cool name for it. Back then I was just really into maintaining health, slowing the aging process, and preventing the development of disease. Back then it was called being a Health Nerd, but I like Rejuvenation Athlete much better. I've led a lifetime of staying hydrated, eating well-balanced meals, and exercising regularly. I wear my sunscreen, take my multivitamin, and wash my hands before eating. But now there's a whole new layer of information and we can go so much farther than these basics.

I first heard about TruDiagnostics epigenetic testing through Bryan Johnson, who is a professional rejuvenation athlete. His testing shows he ages at a rate somewhere under 0.65, which means he ages about 2/3 of a year for each calendar year that passes. I took my first test over 6 months ago and scored a pace of 0.9, meaning I age less than one year for every year that passes. This is fantastic, but I want more, I want a better score. How to do this? First for me was to fine tune my hormones, next was to clean up my diet further and add more cardiovascular training to my exercise routine. I retested again about a month ago and I didn't see any significant improvement from the changes I made, my pace of aging was the same.

Now I'm adding in more powerful supplements that are proven to work, and added my own secret weapons to ensure success. This is precision medicine, where you look at your biomarkers and make specific changes in your regimen and test again to see if it made a positive impact for you personally. I'll test again in a couple of months to see if I've hit my target or if further adjustments are needed. You can have this level of intervention where your regimen is entirely specific to you, we do this at MAAM Medical. I just heard the Kardashians did the same testing we use, and will look at their scores on international television and thus expose whole new audiences to this technology. I'm so excited to be able to support all the new Rejuvenation Athletes that will join the movement.
