True. I've been there.

We need public health care and it needs to include preventative gerotherapeutics.

Aged blood vessel cells contribute to metabolic disorders such as diabetes, and targeting these cells with senolytic compounds like fisetin shows promise for improving metabolic health.
Aged blood vessel cells drive metabolic diseases, preclinical study suggests
Investigators from the Center for Advanced Gerotherapeutics at Cedars-Sinai found that aged blood vessel cells play a key role in the development of metabolic disorders, including diabetes.

Semaglutide slows epigenetic aging in HIV-associated lipohypertrophy. In a 32-week trial, 45 on semaglutide vs. 39 on placebo showed promising results. RT if intrigued! PMID:42156721, Nat Commun 2026, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-72861-3 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪
Semaglutide slows epigenetic aging in a randomized trial of HIV-associated lipohypertrophy | Nature Communications
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have attracted interest as gerotherapeutics, yet clinical-trial evidence for their effects on biological aging is lacking. We report a post hoc exploratory epigenetic age analysis of a 32-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2b trial (NCT04019197) of semaglutide in adults with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated lipohypertrophy (semaglutide n = 45; placebo n = 39). The parent trial’s primary endpoint was change in visceral adipose tissue, with secondary cardiometabolic and body-composition endpoints; epigenetic aging was not pre-specified. To address this gap, we profiled peripheral-blood DNA methylation (DNAm) at baseline and week 32 to assess semaglutide versus placebo on first-, second-, and third-generation epigenetic aging measures. In adjusted analyses, semaglutide reduced epigenetic aging across multiple second- and third-generation clocks, including PhenoAge ( − 4.9 years/year, p = 0.004), PCGrimAge

@erictopol.bsky.social is right — we haven’t rigorously validated gerotherapeutics in humans, and even if we did, we’d need to show they also compress morbidity.

Some source for optimism: for some animal models, better healthspan can track increased longevity.

A gerotherapeutic would target molecular mechanisms of aging to prevent, delay, or treat multiple chronic diseases and conditions of aging (the geroscience hypothesis). There are no confirmed gerotherapeutics. But are existing clinical data consistent with how a gerotherapeutic would act?
