I just read this article on Apple News—backed by a team of researchers and MDs.
But weirdly… I’m already doing most of what he recommends, and I’d even suggest one simple, obvious upgrade.

[Link to the article]. Its Apple News You will not get it if you are not subscribed.

• He avoids sugar.
• He eats dark chocolate with minimal sugar.
• He takes Metformin—not because he’s diabetic, but because it mimics the effects of fasting.

This is the same stuff I’ve been doing and talking about for a while now—just without the white coat.

Let me make one very obvious correction to his routine though:
Don’t use creamer in your coffee. That’s moronic.
Sorry, but come on—most creamers are filled with weird, nasty chemicals.
Use MCT oil instead. Even better? Add a scoop of chocolate protein powder like I do every morning. You’ll be full, alert, and not craving junk two hours later.

Now, in fairness, when I reread the article, he said cream, not creamer.
Still, most people don’t know the difference—and store-bought creamers are basically poison in a bottle.
I’d still bet MCT oil beats cream if we had the time, money, and long enough human lifespans to do a proper head-to-head study.
But we don’t. So sometimes we just have to use common sense and choose wisely.

And about that dark chocolate—I get it. It’s not dessert.
But let’s be real: you’ve probably acquired a taste for some gross stuff in your life.
Beer? Tasted like piss the first time.
Vodka? Scotch? Same deal.
So… why not dark chocolate?

I’ve got a few bags of Bouchard dark chocolate from Costco—minimal sugar.
I avoided them for months because I had “real” chocolate, cookies, and ice cream around.
But now that I’ve run out of the fun stuff? I’m eating the dark chocolate.
And guess what? It’s not bad. Actually—it’s good.
And it’s loaded with antioxidants.

I also take Metformin. I’ve known about it for over 10 years.
But last year, when I read that type 2 diabetics on Metformin were having better health outcomes than so-called “healthy” people, I nearly fell over. That was the last straw.

Now the FDA has approved the first-ever study of Metformin for anti-aging. That’s historic.
I take one tablet at night. It’s everywhere in the longevity space.
It mimics intermittent fasting—which I’d love to do… except I also love eating. So, Metformin it is.

The rest? Pretty simple:

• Mediterranean-style eating
• Less carbs
• Fewer processed snacks
• More movement

I’m working hard to take care of myself—not just for me, but because that’s what I do.
I use myself as a guinea pig for safe, tested, proven options.

No, I haven’t jumped on the rapamycin bandwagon (yet).
What I am doing is minimal and safe.
Metformin has been around for over 70 years.

So if you’re reading this, here’s your nudge:
Cut the sugar. Try MCT. Swap the creamer.
And maybe—just maybe—acquire a taste for dark chocolate.

P.S. I’ve been taking Methylene Blue for about a month. And while I’m not ready to recommend it without any caveats, I will say this:
I’ve had double the energy.
Not jittery caffeine energy—clean, focused energy. The kind that lets me sit for long periods and work 14-hour days instead of 8.
It’s been used in medicine for over 100 years, but I’m taking a higher-than-recommended dose—though still less than what’s used clinically.
I’ll wait for my next blood test before reporting back. Since I am taking it at around 80mg a day double the dose recommended for off label. For context it is used as high as 280 mg a day for medical conditions. Stay tuned.
