Amy Hardison, a 64-year-old grandmother of 11, has surpassed tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson in the Rejuvenation Olympics, a global online longevity competition, despite Johnson's extravagant $2 million annual anti-aging regimen. Hardison's success stems from a simple and cost-effective routine that includes homemade meals, regular exercise, and a positive attitude towards aging.
Bryan Johnson's Rejuvenation Olympics
Bryan Johnson is a 46-year-old tech millionaire who has gained prominence on social media for his efforts to reverse the aging process through his personal project called 'Blueprint.' This "algorithm" aims to preserve and optimize his physical well-being through a rigorous regimen that includes consuming over 100 supplements daily, undergoing regular medical assessments, maintaining a strict diet that ends by 11 a.m., and adhering to an early bedtime.[1] Johnson's unconventional therapies also include blood-plasma donations from his son and shockwave therapy for sexual health.[1]
Johnson co-founded the Rejuvenation Olympics with Dr. Oliver Zolman, an anti-aging expert, to drive forward the science of biological aging through competition and collaboration.[2] The global community aims to understand and improve how we age, with participants ranked on a leaderboard based on their biological age as determined by diagnostic tests from TruDiagnostic, a CLIA-certified lab specializing in DNA methylation and biological age testing.[2][5]
The Rejuvenation Olympics uses the DunedinPACE algorithm, developed in collaboration with Columbia, Duke, and Harvard, to predict disease progression and aging precision.[2] Competitors focus on reversing their biological clock, which can differ from chronological age, and aim to get as far from death as possible.[5] While Johnson reportedly spends $2 million a year on his anti-aging regimen, the competition has drawn everyday people who have outperformed him using simpler and more cost-effective methods.[3][4][5]
The Role of NOVOS Supplements in Amy Hardison's Success
Amy Hardison's remarkable success in the Rejuvenation Olympics can be attributed, in part, to her use of NOVOS supplements. When her son-in-law recommended she join a trial for the NOVOS supplement, she agreed but was initially ambivalent.[1] It took her two months to realize that being on the leaderboard meant something significant.[1]
NOVOS Core, the supplement Hardison takes, stands out in the crowded field of supplements as the first and only solution formulated to target all 12 scientifically proven causes of aging.[5] The patent-pending foundational formula combines 12 key supplements into one, offering a comprehensive approach to slowing down aging.[5] It's as simple as mixing the powder with water and drinking it once a day.[5]
Hardison's participation in the trial for NOVOS led to her discovery of her high ranking in the Rejuvenation Olympics.[4] Her epigenetic DNA tests reveal she is aging at a rate of 0.74 of a year for every chronological year, placing her in the top five out of approximately 4,000 participants.[4]
NOVOS customers like Julie Gibson Clark have also seen impressive results. Clark slowed her pace of aging from 0.765 to 0.65 after just 6 months of taking NOVOS Core and NOVOS Boost.[5] Rick Chiovarelli, another NOVOS customer, has slowed his biological pace of aging by more than 21% to just 0.785 per year, placing him 7th on the global leaderboard.[5]
All of these successes have been based on daily ingestion of either NOVOS Core alone, or NOVOS Core plus Boost together, and no other lifestyle interventions.[3] NOVOS' pace clock has been analyzed in more than 45 scientific studies across more than 20 global scientific labs and proven to respond favorably to well-studied longevity interventions.[3]
NOVOS: Longevity Solutions Pioneer
NOVOS is a Public Benefit Corporation that develops science-based solutions to slow down human aging and improve longevity and health. The company offers a range of anti-aging supplements and tests, including:
NOVOS Age
NOVOS Age: A comprehensive test that tracks biological aging and provides guidance on how lifestyle changes impact aging.[1][3]
NOVOS Vital
A gummy supplement composed of a unique blend of seven scientifically chosen ingredients (Trehalose, Acetic acid via Apple Cider Vinegar, Nattokinase, Rutin, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Inulin) designed to support and optimize essential organ functions, including brain, heart, gut, muscle, and eye health.[1]
NOVOS Core
A foundational formulation that targets the 12 root causes of aging at a cellular level. It is a daily drink mix containing 12 highly effective longevity ingredients to enhance longevity, appearance, cognition, and energy.[1][3][5]
NOVOS' products are created by a team of pioneering longevity researchers, including biochemists, geneticists, and professors from Harvard, MIT, University of Liverpool, and University of Washington.[2] The company leverages the latest scientific advancements to develop patent-pending formulations that have shown promising results in slowing the biological pace of aging in case studies.[2][3][5]
In addition to its products, NOVOS provides free science-based tips, actionable guidance, and expert-backed tools to help individuals optimize their lifestyle for longevity through their app, NOVOS Life.[2][3]
Budget vs. Basics in Anti-Aging
While a large budget can provide access to expensive anti-aging treatments and products, it is not necessarily the most important factor in slowing down the aging process. Amy Hardison's success in the Rejuvenation Olympics, despite having a much more modest budget compared to tech millionaire Bryan Johnson, demonstrates that simple, cost-effective methods can be highly effective in promoting longevity.[3][4]
Hardison's routine includes homemade meals, regular exercise, and a positive attitude towards aging, which have helped her outperform Johnson in the global longevity competition.[3] Her use of NOVOS supplements, which target all 12 scientifically proven causes of aging, has also played a significant role in her success, without requiring a multi-million dollar budget.[1][5]
Other NOVOS customers, such as Julie Gibson Clark and Rick Chiovarelli, have also seen impressive results in slowing their biological pace of aging by using NOVOS Core and Boost supplements alone, without any other lifestyle interventions.[3][5] This suggests that targeted, evidence-based supplementation can be a cost-effective way to promote longevity.
Furthermore, research has shown that strong social connections and a sense of belonging can increase longevity by roughly 50 percent, regardless of age, sex, initial health status, and even cause of death.[3][4] Engaging in social activities and maintaining supportive relationships are often low-cost or free, yet they can have a profound impact on overall well-being and longevity.[1]
While a large budget can provide access to cutting-edge treatments and technologies, it is not the sole determinant of success in the pursuit of longevity. A combination of evidence-based supplementation, healthy lifestyle choices, and strong social connections can be highly effective in slowing down the aging process, even with a more modest budget.[3][4][5]
