Take a 2-minute cold shower or a cold plunge every morning, followed by short bursts of sprinting three or four times a week. Do strength training for 20 to 30 minutes three times a week.

Get blue-blocker glasses for the evening and replace your LED and fluorescent light bulbs with smart bulbs that adjust the light spectrum for the time of day, full spectrum in the day and red light for nighttime. Try a home red-light-therapy device. Explore intravenous ozone therapy or get an inexpensive home unit for rectal ozone therapy. Consider a course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy or try a Cellgym if there is one in your area or a low-oxygen exercise mask, which are available for $50. These tools are safe and available to us now, and they can provide a host of health and longevity benefits.”

“Rapamycin, 2 mg three times a week, cycling 5 weeks on and 8 weeks off, is one regimen used by longevity enthusiasts, but it still requires far more research to determine the safest, most effective dose and schedule (see Chapter 4). Longevity hackers are experimenting with a variety of dosing and timing regimens. Rapalogs, or analogs of rapamycin, may turn out to be as or more effective with potentially fewer side effects. In mice, rapamycin increases middle-age life expectancy by 60 percent and reverses every age-related dysfunction. That’s pretty exciting data and needs to be replicated in humans. While diet is the foundation of the Young Forever Program, judicious use of evidence-based nutritional supplements can be a powerful boost to your health and well-being. And research is underway on potential medications such as rapamycin and metformin, which may become part of everyone’s longevity regimen soon. Next, we jump into the powerful effects of simple lifestyle changes on our health and our life span. 9”
