NutritionFacts.org | The TAME Trial: Targeting Aging with Metformin @NutritionFactsOrg | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
Some people without diabetes have started taking metformin in a bid to live longer, but do the risks outweigh the benefits? If you have diabetes, metformin can make things better, but if you don’t, the drug may make things worse.
This is the final video in my AMPK anti-aging pathway series. If you missed any, see:
• Naturally Boosting AMPK with Caloric Restriction for Life Extension (nutritionfacts.org/video/naturally-boosting-ampk-with-caloric-restriction-for-life-extension)
• Naturally Boosting AMPK with Exercise for Life Extension (nutritionfacts.org/video/naturally-boosting-ampk-with-exercise-for-life-extension)
• Does Metformin Work as a Life-Extension Drug? (nutritionfacts.org/video/does-metformin-work-as-a-life-extension-drug )
• Side Effects of Metformin as a Life-Extension Drug (nutritionfacts.org/video/side-effects-of-metformin-as-a-life-extension-drug)
AMPK is one of the anti-aging pathways I highlight in my longevity book, How Not to Age (nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-age/), available in print, e-book, and audio. (All proceeds I receive from the book are donated directly to charity.)
