For those who track their diet, eating only the RDA for many nutrients may not optimize health. For example, the RDA for selenium is 55 micrograms per day, but is that amount optimal for reducing risk of death for all causes?

Results for my first blood test in 2021 are in-what’s my biological age, and how am I optimizing it?
If you’re interested in calculating your biological age, the spreadsheet is included as an Excel file in this link:
Discussed in the video:
Data for changes in kidney function during aging, kidney function values that are associated with an increased risk of death for all causes
What’s my data for kidney function, 2006 – 2020?
Can diet impact kidney function?
Within my data, which foods are correlated with good kidney function?
How are the individual components of these foods (fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids) correlated with kidney function?
LDL is arguably the most debated biomarker in terms of what’s optimal for health. In the video, I present data showing that 100 – 140, not 50 – 70 mg/dL may be optimal in terms of minimizing disease risk and maximizing longevity.
