Dave Pascoe, 61-year-old top rejuvenation athlete

Who we're talking about: Dave Pascoe, a retired systems engineer. Pascoe is 61 years old, but he looks (and physically is) more like a 38-year-old.

And the news is: Pascoe currently sits at #6 on the Rejuvenation Olympics relative leaderboard, one spot above Rejuvenation Olympics founder Bryan Johnson. Pascoe's epigenetic age is 37.95, and his speed of aging is 0.66 biological years for every calendar year.

How does Pascoe stay so young? His philosophy is to look at what successful slow-agers are doing and emulate that. That's translated into many longevity interventions:

• Exercise every day

• Diet consisting of whole foods, mainly fruits, vegetables, and seafood

• Cold therapy

• Plasma donations to gradually filter his blood

• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

• Occasional fasting

• Rapamycin

• 120 supplements daily

Whoa, hold on: Pascoe's approach might sound demanding to you, but it's quite subdued compared to the longevity regimen of someone like Bryan Johnson.

Unlike Johnson, Pascoe doesn't restrict calories, isn't vegan, doesn’t use testosterone replacement therapy, and doesn't get a battery of tests to check on each of his organs. He estimates his entire protocol costs less than $30k per year, compared to Johnson's $2M per year.

So what does this mean for you? Pascoe's results show that extending healthspan (and remarkably youthful looks) is possible using interventions available today at a manageable budget.

If you'd like to find out Pascoe’s entire regimen, he documents it on his site. It's worth taking a look there. In the words of Pascoe himself, "I only wish I knew & applied everything I know now, decades ago!"
