Why have I been researching nutrition and longevity?
At the time I am writing this, I am 72 years old. My health is excellent, in part I believe because I've been studying nutrition and health for decades, doing my best to apply what I've learned. A few months ago, however, I learned that the average male lifespan in the USA is just 74 years. For me, that's just a couple of years away! I've always had confidence that I could live an exceptionally long and healthy life, but that really got my attention.
So I began a deep dive into all the latest discoveries and advances in the science of human longevity. This is an exploding field with lots of research being done and tons of money being spent to develop and use exotic new drugs and treatments. While these are interesting, I found that research showed that the most effective ways to extend life were actually the old-fashioned ways: good nutrition and a happy, balanced lifestyle.
Having said that, the understanding of what "good nutrition" is has evolved dramatically. There is a much deeper scientific understanding now of the nutrition the body actually needs, along with a greater awareness of all the things that should NOT be put in the body, including some things that we may have always assumed were just fine.
My biggest discovery
Of everything I've learned from new understandings of the nutritional needs of the body, the most important is in the area of the balance of minerals in the body, in particular having enough copper. This understanding is based on the work that was pioneered by Morley Robbins and his team of research scientists and clinical practitioners. It may sound presumptuous, but I feel I can say without hesitation that what they have found is:
The Root Physical Cause Of All Disease
Morley Robbins and his team have also developed a comprehensive set of diet and lifestyle recommendations called the Root Cause Protocol to fix the root cause of all diseases, testing it successfully with thousands of patients around the world. I encourage you to click the link above and explore the science and practical knowledge from Morley's research. I hope you'll find it as encouraging as I did.
30 Steps for Vibrant Health and Longevity
I've been following the Root Cause Protocol for the past several months now, with excellent results. I believe I can attribute these changes to the protocol: my energy level is up, my mental clarity is way up, and a variety of little aches and pains have been reduced.
While the Root Cause Protocol is the most important thing I came across during my deep dive, I also found a number of other great recommendations that I found compelling and have started following. These include additional supplements, anti-aging techniques, weight control tools, mental tools and more.
The steps to implement the Root Cause Protocol can seem overwhelming, not to mention all these additional recommendations that I've found, so I've created a comprehensive list of the best, easiest and most cost-effective ways I've found for your consideration. (Of course, you may have found others that you might feel should be included in the list. Feel free to go to the Contact page and let me know. Links to info are appreciated.)
I've put the list in what I consider a rough priority order, with the Root Cause Protocol items first, and included lots of links to videos, products and articles for each recommendation. I've also indicated which ones are part of the Root Cause Protocol and which ones are recommendations I got from other sources. Of course, you may choose to follow these recommendations in a different order. You may also choose to move into them gradually, which is always a good idea to make sure your body handles the substantial changes well that might occur.
