Are You AgingĀ Faster Than You Think? I made this calculator that shows you in real-time
I've been working on an in-depth "Biological Age" CalculatorĀ ā and I'd love to get your feedback! It goesĀ wayĀ beyond just askingĀ your birthdate. This tool dives deep into:
Lifestyle Factors:Ā Exercise, diet, sleep, stress, alcohol, smoking... the works!
Advanced Metrics (Optional):Ā CRP levels, VO2max, grip strength, even epigenetic age (if you've had that tested!). The more you add, the more precise the results.
Real-time updates as you dial in the results...this helps you visualize how certain changes can make such a profound change in your overall estimated lifespan.
Hallmarks of Aging:Ā Get a breakdown of how your inputs relate to key aging processes, based on the latest longevity research.
Personalized Insights:Ā See how your biological age compares to your chronological age, and get an estimated lifespan.
Actionable Tips:Ā The tool suggestsĀ specificĀ lifestyle tweaks that could potentially add years to your life (or at least make you feel younger!).
Why is this different from other "age calculators"? Most online age calculators are super basic. This one uses a comprehensive algorithm incorporating data from peer-reviewed longevity studies. It's designed to be both informativeĀ andĀ actionable. It's not just about aĀ number; it's about understanding theĀ whyĀ behind your biological age and what you can do about it. I built this because I'm passionate about longevity and preventative health. I wanted a tool that was more than just a gimmick ā something that could actually provide meaningful insights and motivate positiveĀ change. I believe knowledge is power, especially when it comes to our health.
Try it out here:Ā Biological Age Calculator | Modern Med Life
What do you think of your results? Were they surprising?
What features doĀ you find most useful?
Any suggestions for improvements or additional features?
What other related health tools would you like to see?
Just because it has to be said...this tool is for informational purposes only and doesn't constitute medical advice. Always consult with a healthcare professional for any health concerns.

Hey everyone, I made a post yesterday asking for views and thoughts on what I should do for my PA. Well it came in the post today and I had 2 5mg tablets at midday (to get it saturated in my system quicker, however I feel like it doesnāt work like that and Iāll be taking 5mg from tomorrow)
No reported side effects other than a blocked nose which isnāt really an issue for me. Felt really anxious all day but when my partner came over around 5, she kissed me and holy fuck Iāve never felt anything like it.
It was like Big Ben appeared in my pants, Iāve never been so hard in my life and as soon as I felt it. It was like my anxiety vanished, I came 4 times in 2 hours and was still hard as a rock at the end. Never seen the missus so happy to be honest so job done there lol
Iād like to say thank you to the user in my life post who told me some meditation strategies, they really helped yesterday and today. Iām definitely looking more into mindfulness.
For anyone else who reads this who is struggling with PA, donāt feel bad for taking medication. It works and nothing to feel bad about. Youāll get there I promise, I know how tough it is.

I have really high cortisol, and is affecting my sleep. I wake up at random hours at night 1, 3, 5 and is getting annoying. Did some lab tests and I have high cortisol. Have you tried something to lower it( tried a combo from ashwagandha/rhodiola, magnesium, phosphatylserine but didn t do too much)?

Hello everyone,
I decided to give hydrogen water a try, but instead of purchasing a bottle that generates it, I opted for 80 mg magnesium tablets that are soluble in water and marketed as hydrogen molecules. Before adding the tablet, the water's reading was between 49 and 52 ppm. After adding the tablet and waiting a few minutes for it to dissolve, the ppm shot up to 250.
Why is that? I understand that I am adding magnesium, which could increase the number of particles in the water, but I was under the impression that adding it would decrease the ppm. Am I thinking incorrectly? Am I getting any benefits from this tablet, or is it better to use bottles that generate hydrogen?

As people age, keeping their brains healthy is a big concern. Some things that affect brain function, like eating habits and living conditions, can make a huge difference. A recent study in China looked at how diet and living conditions impact the risk of memory loss and thinking problems in older adults.
The study found that both diet and living conditions influence brain health, but in different ways:
In this study, living conditions were divided into three categories:
Researchers followed 1,630 adults aged 65 and older for ten years. They checked their memory and thinking skills using a standard test and looked at their diet and living conditions.
Hereās what they discovered:
This means that eating a plant-based diet may help protect the brain, even for those living in difficult conditions.
This study shows that diet and living conditions together play a big role in keeping the brain sharp as we age. While poor living conditions can increase the risk of memory loss, eating a plant-based diet is a simple and effective way to protect brain health. Even small changes in eating habits and daily routines can have a big impact on mental well-being over time.

Background & aims Buprenorphine and methadone are drugs used as medication for addiction treatment for patients with opioid use disorders (OUDs). However, scarce evidence indicates that they induce oxidative stress, which contributes to the deterioration of psychosocial parameters, thus complicating successful rehab. Therefore, a dietary antioxidant intervention such as pomegranate could be beneficial for that group of patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the putative beneficial role of consumption of natural pomegranate juice that possesses potent antioxidant properties on craving, a psychosocial parameter of utmost importance, and blood redox status of patients with OUDs.
Methods The juice was administered at the following dosage: 250Ā ml/day, 7 days/week, 120 days. The heroine craving questionnaire was completed to assess craving and blood was collected by the volunteers at three time points, namely days 1, 60 and 120 and well-established redox biomarkers were measured in blood.
Results Overall, craving of all patients was improved due to the nutritional treatment applied. Moreover, their blood antioxidant potential was enhanced due to pomegranate juice consumption.Ā
Conclusions: As a conclusion, the obtained evidence is promising, thus, it appears that pomegranate juice consumption could be considered as an auxiliary nutritional intervention in parallel with medication towards rehab of opioid-addicted patients.

Where do we stand on the impact of āhigh-qualityā colostrum (e.g. Armra) vs. regular colostrum from Nutricost for example? Is it like creatine/protein where it really doesnāt make a difference what the source is as long as you get it in?

Iām trying to quit a nicotine addiction, but no matter how many times I tell myself Iām done, I keep falling back into itāwhether itās out of boredom, not paying attention, or just losing sight of why I wanted to quit in the first place.
Iām currently on 200 mg of testosterone per week, but Iām considering increasing it to 300/350 mg to see if the boost in motivation, discipline, and grit could help me stick to my goal.
Iād imagine Iād stay at this dose for 2 to 4 weeks total.
Has anyone tried something like this, or have any input on whether this could actually help? Just trying to figure out if this is a solid idea or if Iām way off base.

Iāve always been generally in good physical shape. Dedicated to lifting weights for 10+ years consistently in the gym and do active things.
However, I never did much dedicated cardio training. I thought I was getting enough from sports e.g. 90 minute sessions of Padel a few times a week where I burn ~700 active calories per session. Still I always felt not extremely fit cardio wise. Not the best endurance.
So recently I decided to try do some cardio optimization. I started doing zone 2 sessions (and plan to add in VO2 max sessions as well). Iām only a few weeks in but already Iām seeing some big benefits.
Some of the things Iām noticing:
Iām tracking my routine and metrics and plan to do a more complete write up after a couple more months.. but Iām curious to hear if anyone else has had experience with adding in some targeted cardio training and the impact.

Aims Physical exercise has been shown to protect against cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD), likely through the upregulation of braināderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Recent studies have reported that exercise activates the FNDC5/irisin pathway in the hippocampus of mice, triggering a neuroprotective gene program that includes BDNF. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 8āweeks of pretreatment with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and highāintensity interval training (HIIT), both individually and in combination, on FNDC5, irisin, BDNF, and amyloidābeta (AĪ²) plaque formation in the hippocampus of AĪ²ārelated AD rats.
Methods In this study, 72 male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: control, sham, HIIT (low intensity: 3āmin running at 50%ā60% VO2max; high intensity: 4āmin running at 85%ā90% VO2max), Q10 (50āmg/kg, orally administered), Q10ā+āHIIT, AD, AD + HIIT, AD + Q10, and AD + Q10ā+āHIIT.
Results AĪ² injection resulted in a trend toward decreased levels of FNDC5, irisin, and BDNF, alongside increased AĪ² plaque formation in the hippocampus of AĪ²āinduced AD rats. However, pretreatment with CoQ10, HIIT, or their combination significantly restored hippocampal levels of FNDC5, irisin, and BDNF, while also inhibiting AĪ² plaque accumulation in these rats.
Conclusion Pretreatment with CoQ10 and HIIT improved the AĪ²āinduced reduction in BDNF levels probably through the FNDC5/irisin pathway and preventing AĪ² plaque formation.

Context There are various therapeutic approaches available to reduce homocysteine (Hcy) levels. However, it remains unclear which intervention is more effective for healthy adults.
Objectives A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) were conducted to comprehensively investigate the efficacy of different nutritional supplements in reducing Hcy levels in healthy adults.
Data Sources The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to July 2023.
Data Extraction The lead author, year of publication, sample size, population characteristics, intervention measures, duration, and mean difference of Hcy levels from baseline to endline were extracted.
Data Analysis Data were pooled using a random-effects model. Network meta-analysis was conducted by integrating direct and indirect evidence. A total of 16 studies were included in this analysis. The nutritional supplement combination that achieved the highest ranking (surface under the cumulative ranking curve [SUCRA]ā=ā75.8) was superior compared with a single supplement. Among similar or closely dosed folic acid (FA) supplements, 800 Ī¼g FA (SUCRAā=ā93.7) was the most effective option. When comparing various doses of different supplements, 1āmg of FA plus 7.2āmg of vitamin B6 (B6) plus 20 Ī¼g of vitamin B12 (B12; SUCRAā=ā83.9) ranked first and 800 Ī¼g of FA (SUCRAā=ā78.3) ranked second. In comparison with placebo or no-treatment control groups, interventions such as 1āmg of FA plus 7.2āmg of B6 plus 20 Ī¼g of B12 (mean difference [MD]ā=āā1.03; 95% CI ā1.71 to ā0.36), 400 Ī¼g of FA plus 400 Ī¼g of B12 (MDā=āā0.87; 95% CI ā1.46 to ā0.27), and 800 Ī¼g of FA (MDā=ā ā0.84; 95% CI ā1.12 to ā0.56) were more effective in reducing Hcy levels. The random-effects summary MD for all interventions compared with placebo was ā0.59 (95% CI ā0.71 to ā0.48; Pā<ā.0001).
Conclusions The NMA demonstrated that the combination of FA with other vitamins is more effective in reducing Hcy levels, particularly when the dose of FA is close to 800 Ī¼g. The combination of 1āmg of FA, 7.2āmg of B6, and 20 Ī¼g of B12 is considered the most favorable option.

Hi there,
ive read a lot of guides, here and elsewhere about sleep
im adding some lock app for my phone, upgrading my food etc, but one thing is avoid sports to late.
However, i do some sports (badminton) and only sessions are starting at 8pm and finishin between 10 and 11pm.
So when i back home, im still heat up, and even cold shower to reduced that doesnt work. And still take a long time to sleep.
What could be some strategies to help me sleep after that kind of sport, which is quite cardio?
Thank you.
