The Dr. Hyman Show
Reverse Aging Now: The Latest Longevity Breakthroughs | Dr. Eric Verdin

So I have my doubts.

Yeah, it just goes through. So there are, you know, for example, one thing you didn't talk about, which I think is really critical, is fiber and probiotic, which I think for me, you know, I'm a fervent believer in the whole gut health thing. being a critical determinant of your health and brain function.

And so optimizing your bacteria in your gut, not by eating the bacteria, but by eating the fibers that feed them is really a critical part. So I have a special concoction of probiotics that I make myself. And I think that to me is really one of the central components of having a healthy digestive system, which will determine your immune system and so on.

As I told you earlier, I believe in urolithin A. That's one of the few well-documented supplements that has been shown to have an increase, an effect on your VO2 max, on other immune function. We published on the effect on immune function. I don't know. Any other ones? I forgot the list of all the compounds that you mentioned. One thing that I want to mention also is

is the whole concept of, as a physician, you know about polypharmacy. The idea of polypharmacy, well, people, you know, polypharmacy is the idea that once you start, you start with one compound, you have a series of positive effect, but you also have a series of side effects.

The idea of polypharmacy is when you start adding things on top of each other, you generate responses that are unpredictable and not always beneficial. And I do worry about the tendency in the field of what people call stacks, you know, where you're taking 5, 10, 20 supplements together and hoping that all of this magically is going to work together.

I can tell you one experiment that some colleagues have done in the lab. So in C. elegans, the little worm that we studied, we can identify readily small molecules that increase the lifespan. So this experiment was done, it generated to a whole series of molecules that increase lifespan. So let's say we have 10 compounds that all increase lifespan. So what they did then, okay,

combine each of these 10 compounds pairwise. And what you find is they were actually able to identify a number of pairs that actually had synergistic effect where the lifespan effect was bigger than the sum of the two drugs. So very exciting. So then they took these pairs and then screened again the whole library to see, okay, what can we add?
