A 52-year-old doctor is biologically 41: it turns out he turned back his biological age by 11 years thanks to three simple practices. Dr. Kurt Hong, a longevity and nutrition expert in Los Angeles, says he has literally turned back the clock.
According to Hong, recent biological age tests show that he is 11 years younger than his chronological age of 52, thanks to a consistent routine with smart daily habits.
His approach includes a Mediterranean diet rich in fruits and vegetables, a simple but effective nutritional supplement routine (he only takes vitamin D), and a regular exercise program that includes cardiovascular and strength training.
Hong uses the PhenoAge algorithm to track biomarkers that aid in the aging process, such as inflammation and metabolic health, showing how lifestyle choices can significantly slow the body's aging process.
But staying biologically young isn't just a matter of diet and exercise. Hong also engages in brain stimulation every day, playing chess, reading, or working in ways that challenge his cognitive abilities.
This habit supports what scientists call "cognitive reserve," a buffer against age-related memory loss and diseases like Alzheimer's.
His daily lifestyle reflects research showing that even modest physical activity and mental engagement can reduce the risk of disease and increase longevity. For Hong, age is just a number, and he is actively working to lower it.
