#18 Longevity Supplements - Interventions Testing Program Results | Dr. Richard Miller

Dr. Richard Miller runs one of the labs for the Interventions Testing Program or the ITP, which is largely considered the gold standard for testing longevity drugs. This was one of the best conversations I’ve had on longevity supplements that affect lifespan and those that might me subject to mere hype. Dr. Miller is rigorous in his approach and states the data clearly. He also has opinions on lifespan vs. healthspan that are unique from those of most others and worth paying attention to. I genuinely walked away having learned so much from this conversation and feeling more awakened, and I hope it is useful to you too in parsing the data out there on longevity supplements.  

In today’s episode, you will learn: 

- The 4 winning drugs that increase lifespan in mice as tested by the ITP: Rapamycin, Acarbose, 17-alpha estradiol, Canagliflozin 

- 3 other drugs that produce small lifespan benefits: NDGA, Glycine, Captopril 

- Drug combinations: Rapamycin + Acarbose, Rapamycin + Metformin 

- Drugs that show no lifespan increase in mice in the ITP: Resveratrol, Nicotinamide-Riboside (NR), Fisetin, Curcumin, MCT Oil, Green tea extract, Fish Oil + more 

- Richard’s thoughts on lifespan vs. healthspan
