Could Plasma Exchange Therapy Actually Help You Live Longer?
Cars need oil changes to keep their engines running smoothly. Some anti-aging influencers, along with a handful of scientists, believe exchanging the plasma in your blood can do a similar thing for humans to help slow biological aging. The procedure is currently offered for thousands of dollars a session at many longevity clinics. In a car, 'you change the oil every 3,000 miles because it clears out debris," said Dr. Eric Verdin, the president and chief executive of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. Your blood, he said, can also accumulate potentially damaging particles that can be flushed out. One of the first trials examining plasma exchange for anti-aging in humans, published Tuesday in the journal Aging Cell, offers early evidence that it may be able to slow the biological breakdown that comes with age, even in otherwise healthy people. The small study of 42 participants, with an average age of 65, found that those who got plasma exchange therapy over the course of a few months had lower concentrations in their blood of the biological compounds that accumulate with age, compared with a control group. The trial was sponsored by Circulate Health, a plasma exchange startup, and coauthored by Dr. Verdin, a company co-founder and head of the scientific advisory board. Still, many other scientists who study plasma exchange are skeptical. Its anti-aging benefits for healthy people have 'never been proven" in large clinical trials, said Dr. Katayoun Fomani, an associate professor and medical director of the blood bank at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and drawing blood and replacing plasma with added fluids could put patients at risk for unnecessary medical complications without a clear payoff. How does the procedure work? Plasma exchange is a well-established treatment for certain blood disorders, autoimmune diseases and neurological conditions, and it's typically covered by insurance when deemed medically necessary. It is not covered for anti-aging purposes. During the therapy, a provider — typically a registered nurse or a technician — hooks the patient up to a machine that draws out blood. The machine separates and discards the plasma from the blood, replaces it with donor plasma or a substitute fluid, then returns the blood back to the patient. The substitute fluid often contains a mixture of saline and proteins, like albumin; in some cases, an infusion of antibodies or drugs may also be added to boost the immune system or fight certain diseases. Each session typically takes a couple of hours. Hospitals and medical centers use plasma exchange to remove particles that hasten a disease's progression, such as the antibodies that attack a patient's nervous system in multiple sclerosis. But proponents of the procedure for improving health span and life span say it can be used as a preventive measure, to remove the inflammatory antibodies and proteins that may drive biological aging (the deterioration of cells and tissues). Plasma therapy is one of several different experimental longevity procedures that involve blood transfers, including platelet-rich plasma treatment, which concentrates and injects a patient's own blood into injured areas; and a treatment where a young donor's blood is transfused into an older recipient. What does the science show? Most of the research into the anti-aging benefits of plasma exchange has been done on animals, so the findings don't necessarily carry over to humans, said Dr. Caroline Alquist, the co-director of the Hoxworth Blood Center at the University of Cincinnati. One 2020 study on mice, for instance, found that replacing some of the animals' blood plasma with saline and albumin, a protein believed to bind to and help remove harmful molecules, appeared to reverse biological markers of aging, especially within the brain, liver and muscle tissues. Until now, the research in humans has focused on patients who already have an age-related disease. In one trial of nearly 350 Alzheimer's patients, those undergoing plasma therapy over about 14 months saw slower or more stable cognitive decline than those who received a placebo treatment. Some early studies also suggest that plasma therapy may improve survival rates for people with liver disease. In the Circulate Health trial, one group of subjects received an albumin infusion every few weeks or so; another group got the same infusion plus an antibody to fight infections; and a control group got only saline. Researchers used dozens of biological age tests to measure subjects' blood several times during the full three-to-six-month regimen. They estimated that the albumin and antibody group decreased their biological age by about 2.6 years, while those on the albumin regimen saw a roughly one-year reduction. People who received only saline generally saw their biological age increase over the course of the trial. What are the open questions? While the Circulate Health study is 'intriguing,' and suggests that plasma exchange appears to affect subjects' blood composition even after the procedure, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will help people live longer or healthier, said Dr. Jeffrey Winters, the chair of transfusion medicine at the Mayo Clinic. He said the trial was too small to prove anti-aging benefits; it also didn't follow subjects for more than a few months, so it's not clear how long the effects of plasma exchange last. In the study, the authors hypothesized that treatments could get less effective over time as the body adjusts to the infusions. (The subjects typically didn't show much difference in biological age after the third measurement, compared with the control, suggesting that the impact of the therapy could level off.) It's also not clear if the findings are a direct result of the treatment or if they were influenced by some other confounding factor, like the profile of the subjects, who were healthy patients in the Bay Area and recruited by Circulate Health, added Dr. Zbigniew M. Szczepiorkowski, a professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at Dartmouth Health. Finally, while plasma exchange is a relatively safe medical procedure, it does bring risks, Dr. Winters said: The machine could fail, damaging red blood cells and inducing anemia in the patient, among other hazards. Though longevity clinics primarily use saline and albumin, donor plasma could also carry an infection over to the patient. 'Especially given the absence of evidence in the literature,' Dr. Winters said, the benefit for using plasma exchange for longevity 'really isn't there.'

Longevity scientist who reversed his biological age by 15 years shares his go-to breakfast
Breakfast is often called the most important meal because it breaks the overnight fast, replenishing glucose and providing essential nutrients for energy, focus, and overall health. A healthy breakfast can improve cognitive function, boost metabolism, and help with weight management. Moreover, breakfast can significantly impact blood sugar levels , both positively and negatively. While a balanced breakfast can help stabilize blood sugar levels throughout the morning, preventing spikes and crashes that can occur from skipping meals or consuming sugary, high-carb foods, skipping breakfast can lead to blood sugar drops and cravings for sugary foods later, and poor breakfast choices can cause spikes and crashes. An American longevity scientist , Dr Eric Verdin, who claims that he reversed his biological age by 15 years, shared what his go-to breakfast has been to avoid blood sugar spikes. Read on to know more. Dr. Eric Verdin emphasized the importance of enjoying a savory breakfast to effectively manage blood sugar levels and prevent spikes. Chronic elevated blood sugar is closely associated with various metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes. Verdin strongly believes that lifestyle choices significantly influence longevity, often outweighing genetic factors. The doctor and researcher specializing in healthy aging recently revealed to Business Insider that he has successfully reversed his biological age by approximately 15 years, and shared insights into his ideal breakfast. 'Ideal' breakfast choices: Dr. Verdin criticized traditional breakfast choices, saying, "The worst breakfast you can possibly imagine is your standard cereal bowl paired with a glass of orange juice. Essentially, this is a bowl full of sugar, sugar, sugar." This is particularly troubling because high blood sugar levels are linked to metabolic conditions, and longevity experts contend that excessive sugar consumption may accelerate the aging process. At 68 years old, Dr. Verdin attributes his youthful biological age to a decade of dedicated health optimization through thoughtful dietary and lifestyle adjustments. His claims about biological age are based on various epigenetic blood tests, though it's important to note that the concept of biological age lacks a universally accepted definition and method of measurement. Can you reverse your 'biological' age? While you can't reverse chronological age (the number of years you've lived), research suggests you can slow down or even potentially reverse biological age, which refers to how your body ages. This means you can improve your overall health and potentially reduce age-related diseases by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Verdin employed certain tests to determine biological aging. He also leveraged wearable technologies to monitor his blood pressure and cholesterol levels, making necessary lifestyle modifications based on the data. The 'clean' diet: Believing that nutrition plays a pivotal role in longevity, Verdin revealed that he adheres to a Mediterranean-style dietary regimen rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and lean proteins, while intentionally steering clear of ultra-processed foods. He remarked, "When you examine populations that embrace this dietary pattern, you'll find that they are remarkably healthier." In Verdin's view, breakfasts should be savory rather than sweet. He advised against consuming pastries, sugary cereals, orange juice, and fruity yogurts. According to him, starting the day with a high-carb or sugary breakfast can trigger significant blood sugar surges, which sets a person on a rollercoaster ride of fluctuating energy levels and cravings throughout the day. While a temporary rise in blood sugar after consuming carbohydrates is normal, persistent high levels can lead to chronic inflammation, which may exacerbate aging and elevate the risk of chronic diseases. For his morning meal, Dr. Verdin mostly enjoys a combination of eggs, creamy avocado, and flavorful salmon—either smoked or cooked—paired with nutritious wholemeal bread. While he is not overly particular about the cooking method for his eggs, he advocates for the use of olive oil rather than butter, pointing out, "If one prefers no oil, hard-boiled would be the best method." The eggs and salmon provide essential healthy fats and proteins, which help sustain feelings of fullness throughout the day. Meanwhile, the wholemeal bread and avocado contribute vital fiber to the meal, supporting digestive health by nourishing beneficial gut bacteria. This balanced breakfast not only fuels his body but also supports his overall health and longevity goals. The health quotient: Eggs are generally considered a healthy choice for breakfast as they are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and can be part of a balanced, healthy diet. However, it's important to consider them within a broader healthy eating pattern and to be mindful of cholesterol intake. Avocados, too, are a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. They can contribute to a nutritious and filling breakfast that supports overall well-being. Salmon is also a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health and overall well-being. It also provides vitamin D and other nutrients. Combining them together for breakfast is not only beneficial for one's health in the long run, but also keeps them full and satiated for a longer time.
