Vitamin K for cognition

Vitamin for the mind. Could a simple vitamin found in leafy greens keep your brain sharp with age? New research from Tufts University hints that vitamin K deficiency might speed up mental decline—especially in memory and learning.Key facts & findingsBrain booster: Vitamin K shows up in brain tissue as menaquinone-4, potentially supporting cognitive function.Less K, more problems: Mice lacking vitamin K displayed worse results in tests assessing memory and spatial learning.Hippocampus hit: The vitamin K–deficient group had fewer new neurons in the dentate gyrus, a key region for learning.Inflammation spike: These deficient mice also showed overactive immune cells (microglia), leading to higher brain inflammation.Additional context & expert insightVitamin K is typically found in dark, leafy veggies—like spinach and kale—and is already known for aiding blood clotting. This study suggests it might also protect the aging brain by boosting neuron formation and reducing inflammation. “We’re not telling everyone to go buy supplements,” says the research team, who stress that a balanced diet is the real key. Put differently: your daily salad might do more than keep your arteries clear—it may also keep your mind in top form.Looking aheadScientists plan to dig deeper into the exact mechanisms tying vitamin K to brain health, and possibly see if the same trends hold in humans of all ages. For now, consider upping your veggie intake. Your brain, and maybe your future self, will thank you.

Founder interview: Dr. Emil Kendziorra, Founder & CEO at Tomorrow Biostasis

In our Founder Interview series, we highlight the brightest minds in preventive health, wellness, and longevity. In Episode 6, we’re honored to feature Dr. Emil Kenziorra, founder and CEO at Tomorrow Biostasis—one of the world-leading human cryopreservation experts.Tell us a little about yourself and your current ventureDoctor and researcher by training, entrepreneur by trade. Longevity has always been my motivation, with a focus on maximal life span extension. I'm running Tomorrow.bio and the non-profit European Biostasis Foundation to push human cryopreservation forward.How do you balance the demands of running a business while maintaining your own health and longevity?I've always worked a lot and my natural stress level is pretty low, plus good sleep and working out regularly. So all good :) Do you have a personal health goal? What is it? Not die - indefinitely, until I change my mind :)Before launching Tomorrow Biostasis, can you walk us through the “aha” moment that inspired the creation of your service?I've been involved in the longevity space in same capacity since 2007. I took a deep dive again in 2019 and after selling my last company in 2020, I switch to cryopreservation. There just isn't any meaningful progress in the field, with the billions of spending and decades of research maximum life span has not been extended by even a day. What sets Tomorrow Bio apart in the health and wellness industry?Accepting that maximal life span extension is not likely if we look at progress so far. If someone wants to live longer than currently possible, cryopreservation will be a necessary stopgap measure.What is the most groundbreaking or unexpected finding in the field of longevity research that you’ve come across recently, and why do you find it so compelling?Nothing really. The next big milestone will be a clinical trial that shows extension of maximal life span.  In your opinion, which emerging longevity trend or product will have the most transformative impact on our health over the next five years, and why?Gym, sleep, healthy food - rest is noise for now.One thing you wish more people knew about health and longevity?It's the most important thing in the world.What is the biggest longevity myth you’d like to debunk?Any thing that is available right now is proven to extend maximal life span. If you could recommend only one supplement for a longer, healthier life, which would it be, and what makes it indispensable?Vitamin D, most people have deficiencies. How old can we potentially become at maximum?No limit in theory. At least I'm not aware of any. What resources (books, podcasts, mentors) have been most valuable in your entrepreneurial journey?https://waitbutwhy.com/If there’s one message or insight you’d like readers to take away from your journey, what would it be?Work in Longevity! Focus on impact instead of money.

From bloodwork to DNA to AI and back: my journey to solve a micronutrient mystery

How low zinc levels turned into a detective story about health optimization, genetics — and how to use ChatGPT wisely without falling into traps.Hi, I’m Heiko – coach, biohacker, and micronutrient enthusiast. For years, I’ve been fine-tuning my approach to health and longevity by regularly testing my blood for micronutrient levels. Why? Because I believe that keeping all essential and semi-essential micronutrients in the optimal range gives my body the best possible foundation to thrive — mentally, physically, and emotionally.It’s a proactive strategy inspired by experts like Dr. Helena Orfanos-Boeckel, and it’s shaped how I think about performance, stress resilience, and long-term health.One nutrient I’ve been particularly focused on is zinc. And yet — despite consistent, even high-dose supplementation — my blood levels of zinc just won’t budge into the optimal range. Frustrating? Definitely. But also a great opportunity to dig deeper.That’s how this article came about. After a nudge from Sandra (thanks again!) in the New Zapiens community, I decided to revisit my DNA test from SelfDecode. Maybe the answer to my stubbornly low zinc levels was hiding in my genes?Why is zinc so important?Before we dive into the analysis, let’s take a quick detour: zinc is a true multitasker.It plays a key role in the immune system, supports wound healing, and helps fight infections.It’s essential for protein synthesis, making it crucial for muscle growth and recovery.It influences cognitive function, impacting focus and mood.It acts as a cofactor for many enzymes, involved in metabolism, hormone production, and digestion.And here’s a kicker: If you exercise a lot or sweat frequently (sauna, anyone?), you could be losing significant amounts of zinc.Sounds like something you’d want enough of, right? That’s exactly what I thought — but my levels refused to rise ...Checking my DNA test: no red flags?My first glance at my SelfDecode report:SelfDecode resultSo, no increased requirement according to my genetic data. Hmm.But maybe ChatGPT knows more?I asked whether there are SNPs associated with higher zinc needs.(SNPs = Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, genetic variations that can influence various bodily processes.)ChatGPT provided a first list of potentially relevant SNPs:Screenshot 2025-04-10 175904.png 176.05 KBNever only ask once, especially with ChatGPT ;) So I asked again if there might be some more SNPs that could be relevant. And ChatGPT listed some more:Screenshot 2025-04-10 180441.png 224.03 KBBased on that, I dug into my SelfDecode data and checked my own genetic variations. And I added all the SNP characteristics that SelfDecode had listed as relevant, even if the overall assessment did not reveal an increased need.Then, I asked ChatGPT to interpret all my individual data.Screenshot 2025-04-10 181041.png 59.84 KBThen I asked ChatGPT to critically review its own assessment.Screenshot 2025-04-10 181228.png 17.69 KBSurprise, surprise: ChatGPT’s analysis and conclusion was quite different from SelfDecode’s!While SelfDecode suggested my zinc needs were typical, some SNPs flagged by ChatGPT pointed to a significantly increased requirement!And then I remembered a phrase from the domain of management theory and practice: Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast.And I asked myself: What if “Lifestyle Eats Genetics for Breakfast”? So what about exercise and sauna for example?I added details about my workout and sauna routine and asked for an updated recommendation.Screenshot 2025-04-10 181433.png 99.79 KBDone? Hmm… not so fast!The trap of question framingAnother shoutout to Sandra, who reminded me that answers by AI models like ChatGPT are highly dependent on how you phrase your questions.So, I reworded the question: Could it be that the original recommendation was way too low in comparison to standard recommendations?Screenshot 2025-04-10 181633.png 148.02 KBThen, I went the opposite way: Was the updated recommendation too high? Maybe ChatGPT simply added up all effects, without considering overlapping factors?Screenshot 2025-04-10 181807.png 157.65 KBNow I had multiple versions of an answer. Which one should I trust?Guess what I did … of course: I asked ChatGPT: “So, first too low, then too high, now low again, ... what can I believe you?” ;)Screenshot 2025-04-10 181946.png 236.65 KBAnd: Screenshot 2025-04-10 182334.png 62.61 KBI totally agree: blood work is not the truth, but the best approach we have!Conclusion: ChatGPT is a great tool — if you know how to ask and how to interpret and challenge its answers Please keep in mind: Everybody and every body is different.My unique lifestyle, diet, and habits can’t (yet) be fully captured by any AI model.And that’s fine with me. I now have enough information to fine-tune my zinc supplementation approach. Taking also my individual experiences and some hints by Chris Masterjohn into account, I will supplement like this:👉 2×15 mg zinc citrate in the early morning👉 25 mg zinc bisglycinate in the later morningTwo highly bioavailable forms, taken as far away as possible from other minerals (esp. copper) that could block absorption or interact directly.Now, it’s all about testing, measuring, and adjusting again.Will my zinc levels finally move? Or are there other aspects that I don’t know yet?To be continued... 😃

Multilingualism increases life expectancy

Could having a sharp vocabulary extend your lifespan? A new study suggests that strong verbal fluency—basically, how quickly you can recall and use words—may predict how long you’ll live.Key Facts & FindingsBerlin aging study: Researchers tracked 516 adults (70–105 years old) for up to 18 years.Singular predictor: Verbal fluency stood out as a key indicator linked to longevity.Test of choice: One approach asked participants to name as many animals as possible in 90 seconds.Complex process: Verbal fluency relies on memory, vocabulary, and efficient mental organization—possibly mirroring whole-body health.Tandem of agingThe brain and body age in tandem; so how we express ourselves might reflect overall wellness. “You’re basically flexing multiple mental muscles at once,” said lead researcher Paolo Ghisletta. The team used new data-crunching techniques, combining them with decades-old observations, to pinpoint verbal fluency as a unique longevity signal.Stay mentally activeWhat does this mean for you? Keep learning, stay mentally active, and challenge your linguistic skills (think word puzzles or new language lessons). Future studies will dig deeper into why language agility is so powerful—and how we can harness it for longer, healthier lives. For now, talk it out—your words might just help you live longer.

How helpfull are intermittent pneumatic compression devices as the Normatec Recovery System?

Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices, exemplified by the Normatec systems such as Normatec Elite, Normatec 3 Legs or the Normatec 3 Full Body, have garnered significant attention within athletic and rehabilitation communities. These devices employ sequential, controlled pressure applied to the limbs, aiming to augment physiological processes crucial for recovery. The purported benefits include enhanced blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and mitigation of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD).Physiological mechanisms and theoretical benefitsThe rationale behind IPC's efficacy lies in its ability to simulate the natural muscle pump action. By applying cyclical pressure, these devices potentially facilitate the removal of metabolic waste products, such as lactate, which accumulate post-exercise. This, in turn, may attenuate delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and promote tissue repair. Furthermore, IPC may influence inflammatory responses, a key factor in muscle recovery.Evidence-based efficacy: a critical appraisalWhile the theoretical underpinnings of IPC are plausible, the empirical evidence supporting its clinical effectiveness in healthy athletic populations presents a nuanced picture. An increasing number of studies demonstrates positive effects on recovery parameters, such as reduced muscle soreness and improved blood flow.For example, a study published in ‘PLOS one’ has shown that IPC improves the flexibility and reduces oxidative stress and proteolysis markers in the muscles during recovery from heavy resistance exercises. Another study demonstrated an increasing total hemoglobin concentration and advantages in the management of muscle soreness related to physical activity. Last but not least positive effects on the endothelial function and the bloodflow have also been proven and there are clear indications that IPC cann have positive effects on gene and protein expression, that are associated with functional improvements. All in all, it seems that IPC devices can significantly improve regeneration, especially for top athletes but also for normal sportspeople. However, some investigations have yielded less conclusive results, with some failing to demonstrate statistically significant differences compared to traditional recovery modalities like massage. This discrepancy highlights the need for further research to elucidate the specific contexts in which IPC may provide tangible benefits. But let's get clear, even IPC devices only work as well as massages, this remains a significant positive effect.Psychological impact and subjective perceptionsBeyond the physiological effects, the psychological impact of IPC warrants consideration. Many users report a heightened sense of well-being and increased confidence in their recovery protocols when utilizing these devices. This subjective perception, while not directly quantifiable, may nonetheless contribute to an athlete's overall recovery experience and subsequent performance.Clinical applications and versatilityIPC devices are not exclusively utilized by athletes. Their applications extend to various clinical settings, including physical therapy and rehabilitation programs. The potential for improved circulation and reduced edema makes them valuable tools in managing certain medical conditions. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that IPC is not a panacea, and its use should be guided by healthcare professionals, particularly for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions.Possible risks and contraindicationsSome conditions may preclude the use of IPC devices, for example:Active infections: Using IPC devices over areas with active infections may exacerbate the condition.Severe edema: Individuals with significant swelling should avoid IPC devices, as they could worsen the situation.Certain cardiovascular conditions: Users with severe arterial disease, heart conditions, or other related ailments should refrain from using these devices without medical supervision. Acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or thrombophlebitis.Methodological considerations and future directionsThe existing body of research on IPC is not without limitations. Variations in study design, intervention protocols (e.g., pressure levels, duration), and outcome measures make it challenging to synthesize the evidence and draw definitive conclusions. Future research should prioritize standardized methodologies, larger sample sizes, and the inclusion of diverse athletic populations to provide a more comprehensive understanding of IPC's efficacy.ConclusionIntermittent pneumatic compression such as Normatec Elite, the Normatec 3 Legs, Normatec 3 Lower Body or the Normatec 3 Full Body hold promise as a recovery modality for athletes and individuals seeking enhanced well-being. Also, the theoretical benefits are well-articulated and a growing empirical evidence supports the widespread use, further research is warranted to delineate the specific contexts and parameters under which IPC can achieve the optimum result.

Pressing pause on aging?

A ton of hype—and equally high hopes. What’s going onFrom high-profile Instagram influencers to billionaire investments, the quest for a “fountain of youth” is big business. US tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson claims to swallow more than 100 pills a day, while research teams worldwide test potential “longevity” drugs—think rapamycin, metformin, senolytics, or GLP-1 receptor agonists. Key takeawaysLifestyle still reigns: Studies repeatedly show that not smoking, limiting alcohol, getting enough sleep, and eating a balanced diet can add years—even decades—to one’s life.Genes vs. pills: Many dream of a simple longevity pill, but genes and healthy habits usually have a stronger impact.Blue zones and centenarians: Places like Okinawa or Sardinia boast unusually high numbers of 100-year-olds—though skeptics argue administrative errors may inflate these stats.Money and skepticism: From NAD+ or glutathione IV drips to plasma infusions, countless “anti-aging” offers exist—but most lack solid human trial evidence. Experts warn against overstated promises.Why it mattersWhether you call it geroprotection or anti-aging, halting the aging process has gripped humanity for centuries. Billionaire-backed labs test new therapies, while social media swarms with expensive “youth-restoring” treatments. But the bottom line remains: basic healthy habits often outweigh any miracle cure.Looking ahead Extending “Health Span”: The goal isn’t just to live longer, but to live better, avoiding debilitating diseases in old age.A pill vs. ice baths?: Future meds might slow aging’s clock—though their real-world impact is yet unknown.Societal implications: Lifespans are rising, as are the years spent in poor health. Policymakers and scientists hope new therapies can compress those frail years—worth billions if proven effective.

Magnesium

Apparently, there are many different types of magnesium. The magnesium 11 complex contains many of them. This is very good for my muscles! I take one capsule in the morning and one in the evening. My muscles feel smoother. In particular, the cramps in the calf during the night are gone. My cardiologist praised me, because the heart is also a muscle that enjoys magnesium. It took some time for my body to get used to the intake (intestinal function). After 2 weeks everything was fine and that's how it stayed.

Proteomics-Test

I like most of their products, they offer test certificates as well. Not a fan of this product though. The variance of the test results are high, had very different results in the subcategories with only a few months apart between tests. Also had very different results compared to an EpiAge test. I am a bit skeptical after that experience about aging tests and the effectiveness of most supplements.

Curcuma

I really appreciate how easily my body absorbs the water-soluble curcumin drops, much quicker effect than with capsules. It’s super convenient to just add a few drops to my water or smoothie. I’ve noticed less joint stiffness and better digestion since I started using them. The only downside I discovered was when I got it on a white shirt… however, not the products fault :)
