Ground Truths · Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan · 12 Jun 2025 podcast

But if you do it on a foam pad or something that makes it more challenging, you can keep stepping it up to get your balance better and better with these different simple techniques.

Well, it's a really good question.

We don't know.

There's not been any good studies to bring any of these candidate supplements or herbs or any of them.

Last week, we have been keen that maybe taurine, which is an amino acid, maybe that would be worthwhile.

And then new data came out to

really question that.

So these herbs that you mentioned, it's possible, but we just don't have any evidence that they are helpful to promote healthspan to reduce the toll of these important age-related diseases.

It is dangerous.

And this is that bro science, you know, that as you get, you touched on it, the one gram per pound per day, which is an overdose.

There's no data to support that.

I've scoured all the literature.

And the most you could get to if you're getting older and you want to increase your protein, you're worried about muscle mass, you know, you would go to, let's say, 1.2 per kilogram, 1.4.

grams of protein per kilogram.

So this is half of that one gram per pound approximately.

But what you see are data that we get to this crazy recommendation by some people without data

that you should take that much protein per day.

First of all, it's very hard to do that.

But more importantly, the data all suggests that it could be harmful.

So I really advise against that.
