Project Update July 2024

During the 2023 the study has progressed and the 2024 has been the startup of basic experimentation with:

– practical understanding on taking a lot of pills and measuring it (doing it in agile way, before going structural)

– making a bunch of exams and refine the exams and data needed to collect

– understanding of the basic underlying body issues to be tackled down

– understanding the effective costs

– addressing the issues of dealing with a pharmacy (without a doctor)

– experiencing buying medicine from abroad (india) and dealing with customs

That has become my morning breakfast, enjoying social media sharing to friends:

When you starts to measure yourself you have to fix the little bunch of stuff that are not really “aging slowdown” but just healthy fine tuning, so while i’m not overweight i’ve decided to target a weight reduction with some basic measurements:

Once you just remove in easy way your extra weight and you want to optimize, while staying Lazy like i am, you need to knows yourself better, so i introduce a MOC Dexa Total Body exams to knows about my body composition:

From here it’s pretty clear that i have some “bones fraility” (worth to check my vitamin D status in blood panel), that my body fat is still too high to be “fit” and that my left leg have +2% body fat that my right leg.

Interestingly to loose weight i’m doing nothing but simple and lazy calories restriction, with a BMR at 1450 kcal/day and a lazy lifestyle leading to a requirement of 2100kcal/day i’m just maintaining a restriction of -500/-700 kcal/day leading by making a screenshot of what i eat, sending to ChatGPT and asking how much calories are in the plate (sorry it’s in italian):

Funny things it seems like i’m fit an go to the gym while i’m very lazy:

So i come up to have a first wide blood panel, that i plan to refine increasing some data, and to bring in structured data to be collected monthly:

What it come up from this analysis after all?

a) I have a pre-diabetics status of 5.7% of HbA1c, for which the national health system in Italy does not provide any remedies, even tough i’m taking metformin (part of the longevity cocktail mix being developed and applied to me)

b) I have a deficit of Vitamin D, confirmed by the Body composition analysis, that do require me to starts introducing supplementation of Vitamin D and K2

c) I’m taking too much Vitamin B6, B12, C and that’s the results of the mix of supplements i’m taking just now that require a re-balacing (next post will present online the spreadsheet with micrograms calculations and sourcing i’m following)

My blood panel lacks still the following measurements:

• Thyroid (TSH – T4 – FT4)
• Liver
• Estrogen
• Cortisol
• Albumin, Birulin
• Transaminasi (AST / ALT)

I will increase those, even tough the costs for such a bunch of blood exams sounds pretty high, more than 258 euro:

Next post i will review the current supplement strategy and upcoming pharmaceutical strategy.
