My wife and I are not super diet oriented. She is # 16 on the leader board, I will be much further down when my data gets added.
We do try to avoid processed foods and unnecessary carbs but we are both dedicated meat eaters fish, chicken, pork, lamb, beef. We eat fruit and veggies, some dairy products, cheese, grass fed butter, yogurt, ice cream once a week or so. Some fermented foods like sauerkraut as you can see, not much of a focus on diet.
The data used is the DunedinPace results from a Trudiagnostic test. To get a blue check you need to have at least 3 tests within 2 years. You can enter with only 1 test but you won’t get the blue check and probably won’t be in the top tier of participants until you have done enough tests to be statistically relevant.
You do not submit your own data, you submit a bar code that is issued for one of your tests and the leader board is populated by direct access to your results so there is no fudging of the data by any of the participants.
You will see 2 results for each participant with a blue check, an average of the last 3 tests and your best test result.
Since Joan’s results have been improving the last 3 tests, if her next test is as good as or better than the last one, she may move up the leader board end of September we should see her new data.
And I’d like to know their age. Simm Land the leader is 29 (correction from ng0rge), Bryan J is 46, most who are ahead of Joan are younger. Theoretically it should be easier to score higher (in the RO rankings) the younger you are, with similar interventions. A questionable assumption by me
Fewer of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging would be at play for a 30 y/o vs a 67 y/o.
Anyone want to contribute ages they find, let me know and I’ll add to the list
Simm Land - 29
Ben Greenfield - 43
Bryan Johnson - 46
Dave Pascoe - 62
Reddit says “Dave Pascoe is 62 and ages slower than Bryan. Then there is 29 year old Siim Land.”( and Siim Land says in his video 6 weeks ago, he’s 28).
But, interesting point on whether younger age gives you an advantage…just based on DunedinPace rate of aging score, I assume it’s adjusted for chronological age. Otherwise your rate of aging would be expected to increase with the build up of cellular damage and breakdown of homeostasis. But as you point out, it may be easier to slow your rate of aging with interventions when you are younger and your body is more responsive. Are there scientific studies that show this? Most ages for the leaderboard are probably out there, I just haven’t searched them all.
Yes, I’ve been following that thread but not sure I understand the chart. For Bryan Johnson, on the chart using the closest numbers, you get .68. Now, what does .68 represent - compared to his rate of aging, .64?
What do the numbers across the top of the chart represent?
I certainly don’t want to be critical but I’ve been following him for a while I have observed some facial work he has done (layers and facial injections aka natural) in addition to his new set of pearly white teeth he does look pretty good, but so do many of my friends who have had many of the same procedures. IMHO-He may be turning back the Clock internally but externally it’s mostly superficial. Of course this is my opinion I could be wrong it’s more of an observation.
Agree. More power to him and I do stuff to my outsides too, but in a perfect world, it would be great for us to see his untouched outsides in order to observe how much becoming healthy on the inside translates to appearance. I am a fan of his and love what he is doing, but for the reasons you’ve mentioned, how he looks is meaningless to me. I’m not throwing shade because I wouldn’t be willing to do that either!
I agree with your observations. I also think that all superficial alterations to his face/body are wrong on his part and deceiving for those who follow him bc ppl want to see how his anti-aging protocol makes their appearance youthful from within. And if it did it could be a proof that what he’s doing works. Unfortunately we’ll never know that. We have to take his word for it. This is what I don’t like about him.
To be fair to Bryan, he’s trying to be and look as young as possible, and there isn’t a treatment out there that can materially reverse facial aging. But, it stands to reason he’s had multiple treatments. He’s said quite a few times that skin is really hard, and it’s definitely harder if you don’t look after yourself. You only have to look at the difference between men and women. Most men don’t care about skincare, but lots of women do, and look younger for longer. For some reason, I think we get fixated on appearance, but it’s just not feasible to expect Bryan to physically age backwards without help or that he should leave his face just so few can see 'How he looks". He wants to be as young on the inside as he does on the outside, it’s just really hard. In his defense, he’s logged every treatment he’s done, it’s all on his website. Personally, I think he looks great all things considered. He’s never really going to look 18 again, but he is showing what’s possible.
I thought this was particularly interesting. I’ve noticed that people who have severe infections tend to rapidly lose collagen, I assume there’s a link between immune dysregulation and skin aging.
Where it shows the effect of varying levels of acetyl-CoA on the speed of repair of a venepuncture (because I have a venepuncture each week I can compare different exogenous cellular environments).
Interestingly you have a venepuncture on 26/7, 31/7 and 7/8. The later two had reasonably high citrate dosing before the venepuncture and that of 26/7 only had citrate after the venepuncture.
The lady pictured looks like she’s doing great for 55 but me thinks our own @LaraPo blows her out of the water on appearances. I’m fairly new to the longevity space but basically look the same as her at 54 fwiw. Excuse the ignorant question but are the Rejuvenation Olympics ongoing?
Yes and I expect that will continue for quite a while. It’s a great marketing tool for Trudgnostic / Blueprint and any of the participants that list a “clinic”.
Unfortunately those of us doing this on our own are lumped into the “TruDiagnostic House Clinic” category.
We entered just over a month ago, there were about 500 participants. Yesterday I checked and there are now over 1,100 participants. I expect the “kardashian effect” will add significantly to the growth.
