Here’s sixty seconds of unapologetic vegetable hype. Turn it up. 🎶

Underneath the goofy hook is the real idea from the book: you’re an energy system, and every colorful plate is a deposit in your energy account. Eat for energy, and the fog lifts a little.

“Eating for Energy” is one of the chapters in Huna Makia — coming soon. Join the waitlist to be first to know when it launches, and I’ll send you the free one-page Quick-Start Protocol as a welcome.

In this weekly roundup for July 1-8, 2026, I break down three longevity signals worth paying attention to right now:

- Aging damage appearing to vary across roughly seven orders of magnitude across species

- Alpha-ketoglutarate users tracking 1.8 years younger in a 4,200-person dataset

- Long-lived families showing a roughly 13-year cardiometabolic advantage, alongside rare gene signals tied to healthy aging

Why subscribe to the newsletter:

If you want signal over hype in longevity, the Longevity Protocol newsletter helps you track the studies, numbers, and mechanisms most likely to shape real-world thinking before they become mainstream talking points. This week’s stories point to a field becoming more measurable, more mechanistic, and more actionable.

Covered in this video:

1. Aging’s Damage Spans 7 Orders of Magnitude; 2,000 Longevity Genes Stalled

2. Alpha-Ketoglutarate Tracked 1.8 Years Younger; 370 Drugs Flagged for Aging

3. A Butterfly Aged 25x Slower; Long-Lived Genes Bought 13 Years

In this episode, we cover key signals across tissue repair, stem cell rejuvenation, mitochondrial health, metabolic resets, biological age clocks, rapamycin, senolytics, GLP-1-related aging research, and the growing flow of capital into longevity companies.

The big takeaway: longevity science is shifting from vague anti-aging promises toward an engineering mindset — identify the mechanism, measure the biological change, improve the protocol, and scale what works.

Topics covered:• Blood stem cell rejuvenation and immune resilience• Rapamycin and aging hearts• Choline, NMN, NAD+, diet timing, and metabolic pathways• Senolytics, Yamanaka factors, GlyNAC, and systemic aging• Biological age clocks and why better measurement matters• Why investors are backing longevity as a serious emerging industry
