Stanford regrew knee cartilage. Every joint they fixed belonged to a mouse. (opens the original)

MizCC is 71, and she’d just come through a meniscus repair when she wrote to me. Her words, name kept off:“Two months into specialised PT doing resistance training to strengthen around lax tissues. Excited by the increased strength and balance. Hoping to get back to gentle downhill skiing.”She did the un-glamorous thing — surgery when she needed it, then months of hard rehab. And a thread went round this week that would quietly tell her she was a fool for it: Stanford has “killed the knee replac
A trial gave frail 80-year-olds a home exercise plan for a year. It didn't stop a single fall. (opens the original)

MizCC told me where she was, and I’ll keep her name off it but use her words:“Two months into specialised PT doing resistance training to strengthen around lax tissues. I’m excited by the increased strength and balance. Biggest challenge is getting enough protein.”Notice she said two things improved. Strength, and balance. Hold onto the second one, because a large trial just showed those aren’t the same thing, and confusing them is why most “stay active” advice quietly fails the people who need

Mari asked me about whey a while back, and she’s one of the sharpest readers I’ve got, so I’ll keep her name off it and paraphrase what she was circling: she wanted to know which supplements are worth the money and which are marketing, because after fifty the wrong ones pile up in the cupboard and do nothing.Here’s the honest answer to her question, and it surprised me to write it: there’s basically one supplement, beyond protein and vitamin D, that I’d tell a body over fifty to actually conside
A Harvard lab spent decades on aging. The useful part fits on a supplement label. (opens the original)

Julie read one of these posts and did something most people don’t. She’s a pharmacist, so I’ll let her describe it in her own words:“I noticed the fat redistribution before I even started HRT, and felt nothing was working. The last two months I added plain Greek yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi and bone broth daily. Weight’s down, the bloating and middle fat are subsiding.”She ran a clean experiment on herself. One main change, two months, a result she could see. That’s rarer than it sounds,
A 108-year-old's "9 secrets" has one real study behind it. It's not the one you'd guess. (opens the original)

Laura told me the single biggest change she’d made in five years, and it wasn’t a diet or a supplement. Her words:“Daily meditation, five to ten minutes, guided app or solo. It flips a switch for my whole day. I feel calm and strong rather than stressed and worried.”Hold onto that, because a thread going around right now is built entirely on her instinct — the idea that your body listens to what your mind and your life are telling it, and shuts down when the signal says the mission’s over.The th
