Key longevity metrics

Could you please share an overview of the key longevity metrics to check (blood markers, vo2max, avg bloos glucose, etc.) ?

TRT and not allowing Nature to take its course.

Nick did a great job on his first AMA For the record- I think it a great idea that a non MD - non PhD but scientifically-literate interlocutor keep Peter on track That AMA raises some questions Such as 1- Should a middle-aged seguing to senior citizen vasectomised male be concerned about TRT treatment beyond two years given Fertility is not an issue, but muscle bulk is an issue (especially when fasting as serum Testosterone and ability to add/maintain muscle drop)? 2- begging another question... why shouldn’t aging males desire younger phenotypes including higher Testosterone levels (no differently than eGFR scores). I liken TRT to HRT. Women fall off a cliff while men tumble down a slope. Both benefit by not allowing Nature to take its course. Forgive my naïveté- I am out of my depth here. Best and grateful regards

Where can I find a list of family care doctors who has a mindset of Scientific Longevity? (US)

Hi Doctor Attia, I like that you probably aren't taking any new patients, but as we learn more and more from your Podcast, we like to find family doctors in US (e.g. us in Bay Area) that practice Scientific Longevity, for example, is interested in learning into the latest development in CGM and are for data driven approach etc. E.g. I have hard time convincing some doctors why it's a good idea to wear CGM to track my glucose.

Different muscles Zone 2 Training

Hi Peter and team Was relistening to one of the ama's Peter talks about zone 2 on the rower vs other equipment. Would it be possible to lighten a load of other exercises to the point where they would be zone 2 as well? Could you lighten a bench press to the point where you are doing it in zone 2. Or squats etc. Obviously this isn't normally seen as cardio, but at lower weights for long periods could this count as zone 2. And would this actually help? Could this help your arm muscles or back muscles have more efficient mitochondria and help overall health? Perhaps I am missing something crucial that makes this a dumb question. Thanks!

Clomid

During your last AMA podcast, you mentioned clomiphene and said you\'d get to that in a moment, but never did. What are your opinions about clomiphene for treating low testosterone in men?
