RAF422: Finding Your Biological Age 10:38

Play Pause

2h ago10:38

10:38

But what I'm here to talk about today is something I've just discovered. There is a company called TruDiagnostic offering what they call TruAge Test, which is a DNA testing kit and subsequent analysis providing several insights based on your DNA analysis. They have at least two competitors as well. DoNotAge.org has what they call "the Biological Ag…

RAF421: Hottest Day of the Year 27:09

7d ago27:09

27:09

It's a beautiful day at Lake Fayetteville. I'm back at Lake Fayetteville for the first time in a while. I have been on the Spring Creek trails for a while. Half of that is still blocked off due to construction. It looks like the construction is coming to a close. It's very strange. The episode where I gave the YouTube viewers a look at the construc…

RAF420: Mt. Nebo Rim Trail 48:25

14d ago48:25

48:25

If you're watching on YouTube, you can see just how beautiful the view is right from my cabin that I just walked out of. Nice people. When I woke up this morning, I wasn't planning to go hiking today. The story of that goes back a few days, when I got here, and even before I got here. It looked like the weather was going to be bad. I had only Tuesd…

RAF419: Mt. Nebo State Park Arkansas - Bench Road Trail Part 2 46:35

46:35

Bench Road Trail today, again. Welcome to Running: A FEVER. Here we are, it's the last day of April 2025, and we're southbound on the Bench Road Trail from the parking area. I don't know what they call the parking area. But it's a parking area just south of the Bench Overlook, which is beautiful. I got some good shots of that yesterday and texted t…

52:30

It's about 7:40 in the morning. Tuesday, I believe it is April 9th, 2025. It's a beautiful day here at Mt. Nebo State Park. I got in here yesterday between three and four as I usually do. They have a check-in time at four. So I've already encountered my first person on the trail. I didn't expect it to be as quiet as it usually is in the winter when…

RAF417: Mt Nebo State Park Cabin 5 Tour 7:53

1M ago7:53

7:53

I have just arrived at Mt. Nebo. This is my first day of my first trip to this state park in Arkansas for 2025, and possibly my last. I don't know if I'll be coming back this year. I will likely return at some point in the future. I thought this time, since I haven't done it before, I would give you a tour of what has been my favorite cabin to stay…

RAF416: Why We Crave Sweets after Meals 7:57

1M ago7:57

7:57

Sometimes it seems like I just have to have dessert with every meal. I immediately want something sweet after I finish my main course. I wonder if it's habit, but it seems to happen even when I haven't done it in a while. It seems to be just a part of eating. Now, if I'm able to wait a little while, the craving usually passes. We've all heard that …

RAF415: Devil's Den State Park Arkansas - Devil's Den Trail 43:43

2M ago43:43

43:43

It's been a while since I last visited Devil's Den. This state park is probably one of the closest, if not the closest to where I live. I'm here with my friend Robert, who has lived here all his life, so I feel comfortable that he'll guide me through this okay. Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/415…

RAF414: Davidsonville Historic State Park Arkansas 32:20

32:20

Here we are at Davidsonville Historic State Park, near Pocahontas, Arkansas. I am here on my "daycation," which is like a vacation with day trips. And I decided to come all the way out to Davidsonville. It's a historic town, what used to be a town. It was donated back in 1957 by a man named Davis, and there was another person who owned part of the …

On June 4, 2021, the FDA approved Wegovy for the treatment of chronic obesity and overweight individuals. Dr. John Sharretts, deputy director of the Division of Diabetes, Lipid Disorders, and Obesity in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said, "Today's approval offers adults with obesity or overweight a beneficial new treatment opti…

RAF412: Plant-Based Diets 11:10

2M ago11:10

11:10

Have you heard the hype about plant-based diets? I'm not sure when the word vegetarian went out of style. But now it's plant-based, so I guess I'd better get used to it. There are a number of reasons people go to a plant-based diet. But I think what's on all our minds is the health benefits. Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/412 Photo …

RAF411: AARP - Is It Worth It? 9:05

3M ago9:05

9:05

Well, I recently got an email from my employer about a discount membership to AARP, the American Association of Retired Persons. It's actually just AARP now. About a third of their members are not actually retired. We get employee discounts on a lot of things, and I get these emails on a regular basis. By the way, I've also been getting AARP invita…

RAF410: Happy Habits 16:10

16:10

We have spent hundreds of episodes on exercise, healthy food and dieting, various medical issues, and longevity. These are parts of my goal: long, healthy, happy,and active. But I'm not sure we've ever done an episode about the happy part. If we have, I'm sure I can count them on the fingers of one hand. But that's what we're doing this week. Read …

RAF409: Hobbs State Park AR - Shaddox Hollow Trail 42:44

42:44

Well, this is my triumphant return to Hobbs State Park in Arkansas. It's an Arkansas state park. I've just been to the visitor's center, which has changed quite a bit, I think, since the last time I was there. The only thing I remember about the last time is that I made a YouTube video during my last visit. It was probably six or seven years ago. I…

RAF408: Mt. Magazine State Park Arkansas - West Benefield Trail 22:27

3M ago22:27

22:27

Well, gotta be careful here because this is the entrance, the trail head said Benefield Trails, which I assume they are talking about as the north and south loop of the trail. And it said Bear Hollow trail as well. I gotta watch for the signs. Speaking of which, it took me quite a while to find this place. I thought it should be about the same dist…

RAF407: Turkey Springs Trail - Mt. Magazine State Park - Arkansas 22:25

Now you can see we are on the Turkey Springs trail at Mt. Magazine State Park in Arkansas. .3 miles. Level of difficulty not specified. So we'll see how it goes. This is supposed to be an old wagon road, as described. It does look a little wider than the Greenfield trail we did yesterday. And folks, it is cold out here. You can't tell, we've got th…

It is about 7:30 in the morning here on November 19, 2024. It's 51 degrees, really lovely. A clear day, you can see the sun over there in case you want to get blinded. And we're on the Greenfield trail at Mt. Magazine, which is very wet. I'm starting my second full day here. They wouldn't let me check in the first night until 4 pm. And by that time…

There is a windstorm outside. I wasn't planning to go out today because rain was forecast. It rained last night. It was raining when I came in, and it rained a lot harder during the night. And this windstorm developed. It's very windy out there. I've got some video I'll show you of some trees and how they move in the wind. It's actually a lot worse…

RAF404: The Jeanne Calment Story 15:55

4M ago15:55

15:55

The world is fascinated with long life. Perhaps because we wonder what we would do, individually, if we had an abundance of time, the world's most valuable resource. It's fun to think about it. And so the world is fascinated by Jeanne Calment, the human with the longest documented lifespan, 122 years, 164 days. In Episode 170 I gave an overview of …

RAF403: Jeanne Calment Update 6:30

4M ago6:30

6:30

Jeanne Calment, if you don't already know, is the person who lived the longest according to documented evidence. She lived to be 122. Some of you may be intrigued by the title of this episode. Jeanne Calment died on August 4, 1997. What is there to update? As it turns out, quite a lot. My first episode on Jeanne was published on July 26, 2019. I re…

And right now, I'm on my way to the gym. I'm on my way to the gym for the first time in a really long time. I can't even remember the last time I went to the gym. However, I have been paying them every month for that whole time. I guess I just kind of put that out of my mind. I had a debit card that had worn out and I was getting rejections at the …

I'm out walking along Spring Creek here. Doing alright. Hydration report: somebody left a full bottle of Gatorade in my yard. It was unopened so I put it in the fridge. I've been drinking it and it tastes like Gatorade. But it's called Frost Glacier Freeze. But it's as cool as it is. It's not cooler because there is some formula in it that makes it…

400 episodes? Are you kidding me? What are the odds of that? More on that later. It's always a pleasure to know I am beating the odds, in whatever area of life I am involved in.

It's a beautiful day today. I think it's slightly over 80 degrees. I decided to just go out for a walk. I didn't wear any sunscreen. But it looks there is some shade. We're on the other half of what we're calling the Spring Creek Trail, on the other side of the street. This is all new stuff, especially the part at the beginning with the blacktop an…

I think that may be Spring Creek actually. This is video, if you're listening to the podcast. I'm doing video because I'm on a new trail today. And I'm not sure what it's called, but for now I'm going to call it Spring Creek Trail, because it does go along Spring Creek. The only problem with that is that Spring Creek winds through the whole town. S…

Well these are perhaps the most intense episodes I've ever done. There was a lot of technical info to sift through. And I hope I've made it more accessible to more people. It is exciting to know about the work that's being done in genetics and what it all may mean for our future, including how long that future may be for each of us as individuals. …

6M ago9:34

9:34

Do you really want a longer life? I always put those modifiers in—my conditions for living to a ripe age. And I think most of us would say that without some sense of enjoyment, some purpose for living, it might not be worth it. But there are other things we need to consider. What about the implications for broader society? Can we, as the human race…

RAF394: Aging Reversed! Part 7 - Cold and Heat Exposure 4:57

7M ago4:57

4:57

There is a range of temperatures where we're comfortable. Our bodies don't have to do any work to stay warm or cool off. When we're exposed to temperatures outside of that range, our heart rate changes, our breathing changes. We need more or less blood flow to the skin. These are the things we have to do to survive.

This episode we're going to cover exercise and its effect on aging. How different types of exercise can activate longevity genes and improve health. Now it doesn't take a genius to see that exercise can extend your life, it's common sense. But how does that work? What exactly is the process? We're going to dig deep into that and see what we come up…

In this series we're talking about how to stop or even reverse aging based on some scientific research in this specific field. Thus far we've explored the idea of treating aging as a disease. We have also gone into the information theory of aging, and we have studied several genes that are particularly important in the aging process, and more impor…

We're getting deeper into our series on Aging Reversed. As I say at the beginning of every episode, my goal is to live a long, healthy, happy, active life right up to the end. This year I want to focus more on these simple topics and this series is about the "long" part. I take my inspiration from the book "Lifespan" by David Sinclair, which, if yo…

This time we're going to go in depth on the first of these topics, reclassifying aging as a disease: the…

RAF387: Living to 100 - Maria Branyas 4:56

8M ago4:56

4:56

Last episode, you got the list of the 10 longest-lived people, and a new person was on the list. Unfortunately, she died in August of 2024, so there are no living people on the list for now. But she made it, nonetheless. What did she do that got her to the ripe age of 117? Are there any clues that might help some of us get there? This episode aims …

And now it's time for the perennial favorite top 10 list of the oldest people ever. I'm a little surprised to realize that I didn't actually do one of these in 2024. So I'm sure anticipation for this episode is running high. Living to be 100 is still very rare, but according to a 2024 estimate by the United Nations, there are 722,000 centenarians a…

First of all, I want to say to all you podcast listeners that an unboxing video is included in the video version of this episode. You can see it on the blog page at http://RunningAFEVER.com/385 if you want to watch it. Well, since there was an unboxing, I guess you can figure out that I got my own pulse oximeter. It's pretty simple to use; you turn…

First of all, back problems are not new to me. I've had my share for sure. I know that going back to episode 53, that was when I started having pain in my arm and pain in my back. I went to a neurosurgeon, and that was when my Forestier's was diagnosed. Recently, in the past few months, I guess, when I have gone out on the Lake Fayetteville trail, …

9M ago12:32

12:32

The topic I am addressing today is near and dear to my heart because I have been obese for most of my adult life. It is also such a large topic with a volume of information that makes it impossible to address in a single episode. Perhaps a short series may be a better way to address it at some point in the future. But for now, I want to give an ove…

I've wanted to do an episode on Long COVID since way back in July of 2020. It was actually episode 220 when I first mentioned it. At that time there was essentially no knowledge of the long-term effects. Which makes sense, because the episode was recorded only 8 months after the first appearance of COVID-19 in November of 2019. Now it's been almost…

Going into this series I knew good oral care was important. That's why I chose to do the series. But I honestly had no idea how important it really is. I'm concerned about my risk of stroke and heart disease. I've been overweight most of my life, I have high blood pressure, and my parents have both had strokes.

The dental area is not a stand-alone system. It interacts with the other systems in the body. Dental problems are so closely tied to disorders in other parts of the body that sometimes your dentist may be the first to notice the problem because dental conditions can lead to other diseases in the body.
