He couldn’t run before his follistatin treatment, but 2 months later he could, and he can dance now after it. This is the type of rejuvenation we need.

Is that in the video, or elsewhere?

Yes, at 1:05:40 Follistatin gene therapy.

Every morning for the past many years, when I’m home in #Dunedin, I go down to the bridge and back – a distance of ~1.5 miles {~2.5 km). The distance one way is about 8 blocks – a total of 16 blocks

Last fall when I was doing that I was walking a bit slowly and having to rest for a minute or two a few times.

Then came the follistatin #genetherapy.

For the past week I have been running one block and walking the next – I’m running 8 blocks total! – Though not yet in one spurt.

I’m attaching my fitbit record from yesterday. The amount of exercise at cardio and peak levels is just amazing compared to what I was able to do prior to the follistatin gene therapy.

I don’t really see him being 18. His voice sounds quite elderly and a video of him walking looks like an 80 yo - hunched over and looks frail.
Despite supposedly better biomarkers a plant diet provides, I suspect that frailty becomes dominant factor in survival.

Not trying to be rude or anything, just practical… we’re all jammed up for time, the video is two hours long. Before committing that much time out of my shrinking little pile on this green earth, is there anything actionable here, or uniquely insightful, or is this one of those “soft” interviews more for the heart warming vibes than hard hitting pointers? TIA.

We need an AI program that can summarize videos in 300 words.

Thanks for the heads up. So there is no misunderstanding, I’m more than happy to spend 2+hours on a video that’s packed with valuable info, just trying to be practical in managing a scarce resource - time!

I’m excited for ML’s promised app and his work going into 2025!

I watched a bit and gave up. A transcript and summary might be useful.

What would be good biomarkers of frailty that aren’t following Goodhart’s law?

I’m thinking balance, strength, gait speed, flexibility. Nimbleness. But I don’t know what would be the best measurement of frailty.

Try and always watch or listen at 2X speed, research have shown that comprehension is the same at that speed. So it’s 1 hour long.

Sometimes vibes are the most powerful thing available, depends where you are. There aren’t that many effective things regardless how much information you get anyway. But I agree if you are short on time or want a lot of information you need summaries or transcripts.

There are timestamps at the bottom of many videos in the comments which you can go to the section of interest instead of watching it all.

I’ve copied them here.

I looked at the site VivaSparkle.com and it looks like a profit-making venture to me. Sure, Kenneth Scott looks healthy mentally and physically at age 82, but the site notes “Amniotic Exosomes, Khavinson Peptides, Follistatin Gene Therapy, Investiments Through Our Human Longevity, Rejuvenation Syndicate, and Anything related to rejuvenation” without providing much detail. It looks like you have to sign up if you want more information. I suspect that means money. However, I am a very skeptical person and I may be wrong.

I am dubious that an 82-year-old has a biological age of 18. Has anyone questioned such a claim? And can we really, really measure a person’s “biological age” in the sense of measuring healthspan and lifespan? In my humble opinion, the science is just not there yet. If he has a biological age of 18, then it should be easy for him to live to the max of 120, which probably happens to fewer than one in 10 million people.

IMO, it is a stupid claim. Some of my markers are the same as 18-year-olds. No, that does not make me the same as an 18-year-old with wrinkly skin.
All of the so-called age measurement sites are suspect. It has been shown that submitting the same samples several times to a so-called age measurement site has produced an enormous variance in results.
Bah, humbug :laughing:

And don’t discount wrinkly skin. If his regimen did f*** all to rejuvenate his skin, it likely did as little to rejuvenate the rest of his body. He looks every minute of his 80+ years, and what are the odds that somehow it just so aligned that all the youthening took place inside his body, where we can’t see… riiiight. It’s classic bunco, where the swindler says “trust me, it’s there you just can’t see it”. I’ll believe all these clocks when my eyes can see it, right there in plain sight. When you have to do special pleading to convince someone of some claim, that claim is likely bunk. I don’t doubt you can improve various biomarkers, and get in better shape, but more often than not, true vitality comes through. A guy in good physical shape, healthy and energetic, usually looks it too. And I don’t think these clocks are ready for prime time. If you can change your “clock” age by decades within a span of days back and forth, you know it’s nonsense, as you aren’t really changing your “biological age” by decades within a span of days. I personally put zero stock in any of these and wouldn’t waste my time or money with them. Maybe one day they’ll fulfill their promise, but that day isn’t today.

If there was a transcript the ai could read it and summarize…I’d bet.

If you’re looking for something that can summarize videos, papers … then check out NotebookLM. Also check out the podcast feature, it’s super cool.

Jeff, you mentioned the podcast feature…. I doubt it was the same company because the goal of this was not to summarize, but you reminded me about the Pod Save America guys testing something out on one of their scripts.

The AI read the script out loud in an enjoyable voice, and it created a podcast from the written word. It was fascinating!!!

That’s exactly what NotebookLM does with the podcast feature. You can upload a document, webpage … and then NotebookLM will create a podcast with a very human like voice in conversational tone.
