Anti Aging Medicine Video

Here is an absolutely must see video of some basic information about anti aging medicine.

I especially like the beginning where he covers the goal of anti aging – to live a vibrant, quality life for a long as possible rather than a slow decline from the time you are 30.

Dr. Ron Rothenburg does a good job of covering some terms you may have heard but are unsure of. He covers some of the supplements, some bio-identical hormones and hgh supplementation (human growth hormone). Read more

Live To Be 150 – A Review

If you missed the Barbara Walters Special Live To Be 150 that was on Tuesday night, here’s a recap.

She had a several of the leading scientists on aging and longevity discuss their various research and findings.

Aubrey D.N.J. de Grey, who wrote Ending Aging and works for the Methuselah Foundation,

Dr. David Sinclair, who talked about the benefits of Resveratrol and they even had

Dr. Robert Butler, whose book I just wrote about a few days ago: The Longevity Revolution. Ageism was also discussed.

There was some interesting discussion of research being done on replacing body parts. Apparently human bladders have been grown in the lab and used in transplants.

They talked about Calorie Restriction, which I also covered. Go figure – when I complain about people looking too skinny on the calorie restriction diet, Barbara interviews people that look great! I’ll be honest, though, all that weighing of food and strict diet doesn’t sound like much fun to me. They had a 80 year old guy on there that only eats once a day!

There was some discussion against Human Growth Hormone injections. I’m not a big fan of them either, but you can raise your HGH level more naturally and I discuss that here: Safe Alternatives to Human Growth Hormone.

The last half of the show was spent on human interest stories: Paul Newman, still racing cars at age 82; Carmen, the world’s oldest working model. She also interviewed some interesting 100+ people.

I was happy to see that I’m covering a lot of what was discussed on the show. It’s never been my goal to live to be 100+. My goal is to be healthy, happy and vital to whatever age I live to. There are some downsides to living that long.

They interviewed one woman who was 100 years old taking care of her 82 year old daughter, who had cancer (I think). The daughter ended up dying. Living way past your spouses and children is one of the pitfalls.

One guy talked about the fact that since men die younger than women, we might see more older women turning to lesbianism because of the shortage of men. Oh, come on…..
