This episode we're going to cover exercise and its effect on aging. How different types of exercise can activate longevity genes and improve health. Now it doesn't take a genius to see that exercise can extend your life, it's common sense. But how does that work? What exactly is the process? We're going to dig deep into that and see what we come up with that might be helpful to us in understanding how exercise affects aging, and how we can optimize our activity to extend our lives.

In this series we're talking about how to stop or even reverse aging based on some scientific research in this specific field. Thus far we've explored the idea of treating aging as a disease. We have also gone into the information theory of aging, and we have studied several genes that are particularly important in the aging process, and more importantly, in the potential for reversing aging.
Today is all about caloric restriction and fasting: we'll discuss the benefits of calorie restriction and intermittent fasting on longevity.

Welcome to Running: A FEVER, a podcast about fitness, diet, and medicine. My name is Michael Davis. My goal is to live a long, healthy, happy, active life by loving my life enough to make it last as long as possible.
And long life is what this series, called Aging Reversed is all about. What if aging were really just a disease? A disease that could be treated? What if the Fountain of Youth consisted of behaviors and medication? What if you could live 150 years, or even forever? You won't find the answers to those questions in this series, but we will talk about how this could all come about, some of the research going into it, and what resources are available right now to lengthen your life scientifically.

We're getting deeper into our series on Aging Reversed. As I say at the beginning of every episode, my goal is to live a long, healthy, happy, active life right up to the end. This year I want to focus more on these simple topics and this series is about the "long" part. I take my inspiration from the book "Lifespan" by David Sinclair, which, if you have the stomach for some deep technical stuff, I recommend you read. The theory is that aging can be halted, or even turned in reverse, if we devote enough resources to the effort. That's what this series is trying to decode for you.

Last episode we talked about the topics we're going to be covering in this series about the possibility of stopping or even reversing the aging process, how that can happen, and the ethics and implications to society this revolution might bring. This time we're going to go in depth on the first of these topics, reclassifying aging as a disease: the idea of aging as a treatable disease and its implications for medical research and funding.Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/389

I am very excited about the series we are starting today. In every episode, I state my goal: to live a long, healthy, happy, active life right up to the end. I want to focus more on these simple topics this year, and we're starting with the "long" part. Living a long life has been a common desire as long as humans have inhabited Earth. Though its origins are much earlier, since the 16th century and the travels of Juan Ponce de Leon, the legend of the Fountain of Youth has been a symbol of this longing for immortality. And though no one we know of has found the legendary waters, modern medicine is still looking for its metaphorical equivalent. Many questions need to be asked when considering this topic, such as:- How do we define life?
- Why do I want a longer life?
- What is the price I will pay, financially, physically, or physically?
- What are the moral effects?
- What is the procedure? Will it hurt?
- What would I do with all the extra time I would have?

Last episode, you got the list of the 10 longest-lived people, and a new person was on the list. Unfortunately, she died in August of 2024, so there are no living people on the list for now. But she made it, nonetheless. What did she do that got her to the ripe age of 117? Are there any clues that might help some of us get there? This episode aims to determine that by looking at the life of Maria Branyas, the 8th oldest-lived person ever.

And now it's time for the perennial favorite top 10 list of the oldest people ever. I'm a little surprised to realize that I didn't actually do one of these in 2024. So I'm sure anticipation for this episode is running high. Living to be 100 is still very rare, but according to a 2024 estimate by the United Nations, there are 722,000 centenarians around the world (a centenarian is a person who lives to be 100 years ole), and that number is growing fast. It is a huge 22% increase from 2023.

First of all, I want to say to all you podcast listeners that an unboxing video is included in the video version of this episode. You can see it on the blog page at http://RunningAFEVER.com/385 if you want to watch it.
Well, since there was an unboxing, I guess you can figure out that I got my own pulse oximeter. It's pretty simple to use; you turn it on and clamp it on your finger, and the display shows a percentage number. But what does it mean, and why is it important? It must be important in some way because every time I get my vitals taken at a medical provider's office, they use it on me. I had no idea until I started researching this episode, so now I can share that info with you, and you'll know, too.

First of all, back problems are not new to me. I've had my share for sure. I know that going back to episode 53, that was when I started having pain in my arm and pain in my back. I went to a neurosurgeon, and that was when my Forestier's was diagnosed. Recently, in the past few months, I guess, when I have gone out on the Lake Fayetteville trail, where I have been hundreds of times, I would go out, and before I was halfway through, my back would start hurting, and I would have to rest, sometimes making it all the way through. I was in some back pain there. And it was soreness, and I thought it was all muscular because I was overweight and out of shape. I thought I should keep on exercising and I would work through it.

The topic I am addressing today is near and dear to my heart because I have been obese for most of my adult life. It is also such a large topic with a volume of information that makes it impossible to address in a single episode. Perhaps a short series may be a better way to address it at some point in the future. But for now, I want to give an overview of the situation as best I can, and I hope to hear some feedback from you on what areas you would like to hear more about. Please comment on this video and I promise to read every one.

As I mentioned in the last episode, these topics have been a long time coming. They were first brought up in Episode 220. Check that out at http://RunningAFEVER.com/220. That episode also mentioned a study that had just started called the CORAL study.

I've wanted to do an episode on Long COVID since way back in July of 2020. It was actually episode 220 when I first mentioned it. At that time there was essentially no knowledge of the long-term effects. Which makes sense, because the episode was recorded only 8 months after the first appearance of COVID-19 in November of 2019.
Now it's been almost five years, and there is now a wealth of data. In episode 220 I also mentioned a study called the CORAL study that had just been up and running for a month at that time. There are actually several of these studies, and I will devote the next episode to them.

So, the big news is I've got braces. I've got braces for the first time in probably 45 years. I can't remember exactly how old I was when I had my braces the first time, but I was very young.
Why am I getting braces? Well, I'm concerned about my appearance. I have to look good for the podcast. I have to look handsome for you people and have a bright smile, and have everything in place. So that's why I'm doing this. I have some plastic surgery coming up too. Just kidding!

Going into this series I knew good oral care was important. That's why I chose to do the series. But I honestly had no idea how important it really is. I'm concerned about my risk of stroke and heart disease. I've been overweight most of my life, I have high blood pressure, and my parents have both had strokes. I really didn't know the extent to which bad oral care (or genetic factors in oral health) could impact my risk in those areas in particular. It gives me new motivation to treat my teeth and gums better. Possibly we need an episode on inflammation in general as well.

The dental area is not a stand-alone system. It interacts with the other systems in the body. Dental problems are so closely tied to disorders in other parts of the body that sometimes your dentist may be the first to notice the problem because dental conditions can lead to other diseases in the body.

Hopefully you can see that this series aligns with my philosophy of becoming an expert at your own health. You'll need to tap into that philosophy to build your health plan. Some of the answers you'll know from experience. For example, you have dry mouth or take some medications that can cause it. However, you may have to talk with your dentist or hygienist about the many other risk factors you could have. You can use this series as a guide. Go back and listen to (or read the blog posts of) the other episodes in the series. Make a list of the problems that could apply to you. Ask your dentist about them. But first, ask yourself some questions about them.

This is episode 7 in our 10-part series on dental health. We've already talked about dry mouth, diet, biofilm, genetics, and pH. The objective is not to preach about sweets, brushing, and flossing but to find the causes of dental health problems, understanding that many of these problems are not our fault at all and may be completely out of our control, like genetics and dry mouth. With this newfound knowledge, we'll have a better idea of what actions to take to improve.
