You may want to repeat this test without smiling as much. Also let’s make sure that lighting, facial hair and pic resolution are about the same.

Yes, the second photo looks out of focus to my eye. It’s had to keep the photography constant over time.

I just published an interview with Cory Goldberg MD (plastic surgeon). He advocates (no financial link he says) for a supplement called GliSODin for skin health. I’ve linked info for anyone interested.
Study undertaken to examine the effects of an orally effective antioxidant supplement consisting of vegetable origin SOD chemically combined with wheat gliadin, GliSODin, on parameters of muscle damage, inflammation, and work performance in elite rowers during intensive physical activity. Effects of 6-Week Supplementation with GliSODin on Parameters of Muscle Damages, Metabolic, and Work Performance at International Level Rowers after Specific Maximal Effort

Health trajectory assessment in your episode summary is something I agree with. It provides good insights into how well your body as a system functions. Hence, have to focus on all dimensions and pay special attention to your weakest link. Further, trying to maximize VO2 max today or a muscle mass is counterproductive to long term health.

Thanks… very nice talk… he is very positive on rapamycin.
I just ordered the supplement GliSODin on Amazon. Excellent reviews. Cost $55 for 60 capsule… 2 month supply.
Never heard of this before… reasonable cost if it works on muscle recovery and taps down inflammation.

Maybe this goes here… or, maybe not.
At work today a medical student was visiting with me and the conversation veered to an event 15 years ago… medicinal plants lecture… yep 2010.
Not really thinking… I pulled up a photo of the event with me in it. The student looked at the photo… and then at me… and said… you look older 15 years ago… older than now, but like a baby face.
Hahaha… not sure what that meant 
, but basically the student said wow… you look a lot better now.
I pulled up the photo cropped it… and used my computer camera to shoot a similar angle pic… as best I could today. I am more muscular… and a while back, I felt my sinus and face fillout with my rapamycin dosing.
I definitely, feel more energy and healthier than back 15 years ago. My plug for taking better care of your skin… exfoliating and moisturizing and starting rapamycin, TRT and tadalafil.
I do think rapamycin improves skin on the face… neck… arms… elbows and knees.

I have to say I agree with you and your student. You look a lot healthier 15 years later!

I agree, grey hair aside, fewer wrinkles, the age spot appears to have faded, more collagen deposition to fill out the nose and cheeks. Rapamycin+steak+milk is clearly a winning combo for you!!

Hey Rob… you really took a close look - lol.
The skin quality… and fullness has really returned. My dermatologist says my skin is crazy great for a man my age and wants to do a face peel… for an overall toning, but I am not that vain… and the thought of that kind of drastic approach and several weeks recovery, just not appealing to me.
I was going to mention the age spot going away… actually there was one on each side of my temples… and two wart like sebaceous glands. All went away. I do use a topical rapamycin on my face.
Here’s a comparison of that age spot… which had increased was even larger after 10 years…and my general skin quality before rapamycin (acne like a teenager).
A year before rapamycin about 60 years old
And now. Hmmm… maybe I should do that peel. lol
