This episode covers: • Trump Drug Pricing Deals and Access to Longevity Medications New drug-pricing agreements announced under President Donald Trump aim to lower the cost of high-priced prescription drugs through negotiated rebates and pricing pressure on major pharmaceutical companies. Early reporting suggests these changes could affect cardiometabolic and longevity-relevant medications, including GLP-1 diabetes and obesity drugs. Dave explains why the real question is not headline savings, but whether lower prices actually reach patients at the pharmacy counter. He breaks down how affordability shapes real-world access, adherence, and long-term prevention strategies, and why policy decisions can matter more than new mechanisms when it comes to sustainable longevity care.

All approaches improved weight and HbA1c, but the 5:2 protocol produced larger reductions in fasting glucose, triglycerides, and insulin resistance. Dave explains why periodic restriction can outperform constant dieting, how to structure fasting days without tanking performance, and how to pair intermittent fasting with CGM data and training schedules for better metabolic flexibility and long-term health.

Dave breaks down what epigenetic aging clocks actually measure, why this finding adds credibility to cocoa's cardiometabolic benefits, and why most chocolate products cancel out the upside with sugar and ultra-processing. He explains how to think about food-derived bioactives without turning them into hype-driven anti-aging shortcuts.

Dave explains why you can be biologically young overall but still have an aging brain, arteries, or kidneys, and how this reframes longevity from generic anti-aging to targeted organ protection. He explores how sleep, blood pressure, glucose control, and exercise map differently to different organs, and why precision aging metrics are the future of prevention.

Human data show strong effects on collagen synthesis, barrier repair, and wound healing, in some cases outperforming traditional retinoids. Dave explains why skin is not just cosmetic but a key immune and environmental interface, how copper peptides fit into repair-focused protocols, and why cycling repair and stress mirrors smarter approaches to training and recovery across the body.

In dieser Episode widme ich mich der Rezension von "Toxische Macht," einem fesselnden Buch von Christian Linker. Der Klappentext des Buches vermittelt ein brisantes Porträt unserer Gesellschaft und der aktuellen Zeit. Die Geschichte folgt der 24-jährigen Studentin Coco Frahm, die nach den Monaten des Lockdowns zufällig an die Spitze der neu gegründeten Partei Future gelangt. Coco hat während der Gründungskampagne der Partei spontan ihre visionären Gedanken zur "neuen Langsamkeit" in die Kamera geäußert, was unerwartet auf großes Interesse in der Bevölkerung stößt. Plötzlich steht sie vor der Möglichkeit, als die jüngste Bundeskanzlerin in die Geschichte einzugehen, während besorgte Bürger bereit sind, sie mit Gewalt zu stoppen. Die Erzählung entfaltet sich weiter, als wir Zeugen der komplexen Dynamik zwischen Coco und ihrem Ex-Freund Michael werden. Er soll, auf düstere Weise, den schmutzigen Job übernehmen, um Cocoa auszuschalten. In der Nacht vor der entscheidenden Wahl treffen die beiden aufeinander, und die Spannungen zwischen ihren unterschiedlichen Lebenswegen werden greifbar. Michael, der durch seine Beziehung zu Coco in eine schmerzhafte Isolation getrieben wird, gerät weiter in den Einfluss extremistischer Kreise, während Coco zunehmend als Politiktalent aufblüht und mit ihrer authentischen Art immer mehr Wähler anzieht. Die Erzählweise des Buches ist flüssig und klar strukturiert. Mich hat die Reflexion über die eigene Identität und die verführerischen Möglichkeiten, die in der politischen Welt lauern, tief berührt. Cocos Erfolg in der Partei spiegelt das Potenzial innovativer Ideen wider, und die Frage, ob eine Partei wie Future tatsächlich Erfolg haben könnte, durchzieht die gesamte Diskussion. Im Laufe der Rezension stelle ich mir auch vor, ob Macht wirklich giftig sein kann und was das für unser Verständnis von Politik und Gesellschaft bedeutet. Diese Fragen laden dazu ein, über den politischen Zirkus nachzudenken – insbesondere darüber, ob die Corona-Pandemie vielleicht auch unerwartete positive Veränderungen mit sich bringen könnte. Ich erwäge sogar, "Toxische Macht" als Schullektüre im Fach Gemeinschaftskunde vorzuschlagen, denn das Buch regt dazu an, tiefere Gespräche über unsere Gesellschaft zu führen. Christian Linker gelingt es, komplizierte Themen für Jugendliche und Erwachsene gleichermaßen fesselnd zu verpacken, und ich empfehle jedem, sich mit diesem Werk auseinanderzusetzen. "Toxische Macht" ist 2021 im dtv Verlag erschienen und ist für 14,90 Euro erhältlich. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!

BUFFALO, NY — December 16, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging-US on December 10, 2025, titled “Theobromine is associated with slower epigenetic ageing.” In this study, led by Ramy Saad from King's College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust, alongside Jordana T. Bell from King's College London, researchers found that higher levels of theobromine, a natural compound found in cocoa, are associated with slower biological aging in humans. The findings suggest that theobromine may support healthy aging. Epigenetic aging refers to biological changes that affect how genes function over time. It is measured using blood-based markers such as DNA methylation and telomere length, which together provide a more accurate picture of aging than chronological age. In this work, researchers analyzed data from two large European studies. In 509 women from the TwinsUK cohort, they found that higher blood levels of theobromine were associated with slower aging, especially based on GrimAge, an epigenetic clock that predicts the risk of age-related disease and early death. The results were confirmed in 1,160 men and women from the German KORA study. “We initially tested for the association between six metabolites found in coffee and cocoa, and epigenetic measures of ageing in blood samples from 509 healthy females from the TwinsUK cohort (median age = 59.8, IQR = 12.81, BMI = 25.35).“ Importantly, theobromine's effects were independent of related compounds such as caffeine. Even after adjusting for these other substances and different lifestyle factors, the association with slower aging remained strong. The study also associated higher theobromine levels with longer telomeres, another marker of healthy aging. While theobromine is commonly found in cocoa and chocolate, the study does not suggest increasing chocolate intake. However, it highlights the potential of everyday dietary components such as theobromine to influence aging. These findings support growing evidence that certain plant-based compounds may play a role in promoting long-term health. By identifying a connection between theobromine and slower biological aging, the study opens new directions for research into nutritional strategies for healthy aging.

27% Less Cardiac Death: The Cocoa Extract Study Explained Ep. 1271 DEC 2025A major randomized controlled trial, the COSMOS study, previously established a stunning statistic: older adults taking daily cocoa extract experienced a 27% reduction in cardiovascular disease death. However, the biological reason why remained unclear—until now. A new analysis published in Age and Ageing (Sept 2025) examined the bloodwork of 598 participants over two years. The researchers discovered that the cocoa extract (containing 500mg of flavanols) significantly reduced "inflammaging"—specifically lowering high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) by 8.4%. This reduction in chronic inflammation offers the "missing link" that explains the mechanism behind the massive 27% drop in cardiovascular mortality.3.

Can Europe be weaned off cheap chocolate? EU efforts to block cocoa linked to deforestation were due to come into force at the end of this year – but have faced multiple delays. Another vote is due to take place soon. Some parties are pushing for further delay and modifications, but others are keen to see the rules come into force as planned. They apply to a number of raw materials, including cocoa. There's a big challenge facing the world's biggest market for chocolate: balancing sustainability goals and the price consumers are willing to pay.

Today, we have another episode in a series of conversations with experts and highly vetted companies. In this episode, we feature CocoaVia, a brand of cocoa flavanol supplements made from a proprietary cocoa extract that aims to support cognition and heart health. I am delighted to welcome Dr. Amy Shah, who trained at Cornell, Harvard, and Columbia. Dr. Shah is a well-known expert on metabolic health and intermittent fasting. With a background in internal medicine, allergies, and immunology, she has helped many patients transform their health with cutting-edge nutritional and medical science.  In our conversation, we explore cocoa flavanols, explaining what they are, their benefits, and how they work mechanistically. We discuss how perimenopause and menopause can lead to endothelial dysfunction due to low sex hormones, and the effects of lifestyle factors like circadian rhythm alignment. Dr. Shah shares foods she finds particularly helpful for middle-aged women and reviews the research on cocoa flavanols. We also cover the impact of cocoa flavanols on health span, longevity, and brain health, including improvements in memory, word recall, and spatial reasoning, and Dr. Shah offers guidance on supporting the maturation and health of teens and young adults. Today's conversation with Dr. Shah is practical and evidence-based. I also share how cocoa flavanols have helped my younger son's focus and attention, and how my husband and I use these products in our daily lives. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How cocoa flavanols support heart health, brain health, and longevity Why nitric oxide production matters for vascular flexibility, especially in perimenopause How circadian rhythm optimization improves energy, mood, and metabolic health Why introducing fiber and probiotic foods slowly may be necessary for gut adaptation How cocoa flavanols and other bioactives can enhance health span and lifespan The importance of selecting the right supplement quality and dose to prevent ineffectiveness or excess How cocoa flavanols can improve cognition, memory, and brain function over 8–12 weeks Why natural drinks (coffee, cocoa flavanols) are far better than energy drinks or caffeine for teens How combining core lifestyle habits with targeted bioactive compounds supports long-term health and longevity Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Amy Shah On her website CocoaVia
