Longevity tips trending
Two wellness threads are pushing mitochondrial and biological‑age hacks: Dr. Eric Berg recommended nutrient‑dense picks — dark chocolate, grass‑fed meat, liver, salmon/sardines, spirulina and cod liver oil — as energy and anti‑aging foods (x.com). SmartScience added lifestyle levers—plant‑rich diets, exercise, sleep, meditation, time‑restricted eating, social connection and supplements like Omega‑3, Vitamin D and NMN — as ways to potentially shave years off biological age (x.com).
Dr. Eric Berg is one of the largest health creators on YouTube, with reporting noting roughly 14.5 million subscribers, and he runs a commercial site selling keto, fasting and nutrition courses. (scienceinsights.org) Berg holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and has a public record of disciplinary scrutiny and repeated fact‑checker criticism for mixing accurate low‑carb advice with disputed medical claims. (quackwatch.org) The SmartScience account behind the second thread operates longevity and science explainer pages that routinely promote lifestyle levers and compounds such as NMN alongside plant‑rich diets, exercise and sleep. (smartscience.blog) Peer‑reviewed human studies show oral NMN reliably raises blood NAD+ levels, and several small trials have reported improvements in physical function or reductions on some biological‑age measures, but those trials have been limited in size and duration. (nature.com) Regulatory uncertainty eased in late 2025 when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration told industry that beta‑NMN can be lawfully marketed as a dietary‑supplement ingredient, a decision that has accelerated retail availability. (natlawreview.com) Independent experts and reporters note that biological‑age tests vary by method and that claims NMN or single lifestyle changes “shave years” off biological age remain provisional pending larger, longer randomized trials.
