In 2021, a team of 12 scientists published a remarkable study in the peer-reviewed science journal Aging. The study details how a randomized controlled clinical trial of 43 healthy adult men, who were all between the ages of 50 and 72, found that making evidence-based lifestyle changes could actually reduce biological age.

The test group participated in a treatment program that included guidance on eating habits, sleep routines, exercise, and relaxation, as well as supplementation with probiotics (healthy microbes for the gut) and phytonutrients (compounds found in plants believed to be beneficial to human health). The control group received no intervention.
