Regular readers know that I set up ReversingMyAge.com as a vehicle by which to chronicle the events associated with my year long quest to reverse my biological age by lengthening my telomeres. My eagerly anticipated second telomere test results finally arrived from Telomere Diagnostics. As I walked into my apartment, I tossed the unopened package …
I lift weights. I run. I cycle. I practice intermittent fasting. I do yoga. I even meditate for 18 minutes every single day (more on this soon). I try to only eat organic, real food with no toxic preservatives or artificial flavors or colors. Water is pretty much the only thing I drink. I avoid …

I’ve been asked, “So, you’re really trying to reverse your age? Really, John? Isn’t that kind of silly? It’s something a 12 year old boy might fantasize about, but not a grown man.” I pity those who share this sentiment, certainly the overwhelming majority of people, for their lack of imagination and relevant subject …
I can now hold my breath for 3 minutes and 30 seconds. You’re probably thinking, “Big deal. What good does that do? And what does holding your breath have to do with telomeres?” Allow me to explain.I first became acquainted with breath work while learning the Wim Hof Method (WHM). Previously, I never gave holding …
We all drink bottled water. We also all order takeout, which often comes in a plastic container. It’s so convenient. It’s also great for reheating.
