John Tregoning, a scientist, tried a range of hacks said to help him live longer, from a calorie-restricted diet to gene sequencing.
The article discusses a scientist's personal experiment with 15 different longevity hacks aimed at extending life and improving health. The scientist, who has a background in biology and genetics, tested various methods ranging from dietary changes to supplements and lifestyle adjustments. Among the hacks, three were deemed not worth the investment: a gut health test, which was expensive and didn't provide actionable insights; NAD+ supplements, which showed no significant benefits; and a telomere length test, which was both costly and not very informative for personal health management. Conversely, some hacks like time-restricted eating, regular exercise, and certain dietary adjustments were found to be beneficial, offering practical and cost-effective ways to potentially enhance longevity and health. The article emphasizes the importance of skepticism towards health trends and the value of evidence-based approaches in personal health decisions.
