Over the past four months, Prime Lab has published over 40 original entries exploring the science and practice of Prime Life. During this period, we’ve completed two key modules: Overhaul Baseline Assessment and The Three Macronutrients.
To make this content easier to navigate — and easier to act on — we’ve compiled a structured index. Think of it as a field guide to everything we’ve uncovered so far on the road to a longer, stronger, and more vibrant life.
May it serve as a small but solid stepping stone on your own journey toward Prime Life.
PART I
The Starting Point丨Our purpose, principles, vision, and the practical framework of Prime Lab
- Genes are not your destiny — initiative is the path to a Prime Life
- Three core goals, foundational values, and a structured framework for practice
- A once-in-a-generation opportunity: the mission and vision of Prime Life
In this opening series, we laid out the core framework for Prime Life practice:
Everything that follows builds on this foundation.
PART II
Know Yourself → Overhaul Baseline Assessment
- Retrospective trend analysis of personal health data 📎 Appendix: Longitudinal analysis template for self-assessment
- Disease Scans, including cancer screenings
- Focused detection and intervention targeting the Five Horsemen of Death
Nearly 80% of all-cause mortality stems from five major disease categories: Cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders.
- (Non-disease) Health Assessments, including biological age and organ clocks
- [Case Study] My Baseline Health Assessment (Part I): Disease Screening
- [Case Study] My Baseline Health Assessment (Part II): Health Evaluation
PART III
Intervene Proactively→ Lifestyle Intervention → Nutrition → The Three Macronutrients
📝 Overview of Proactive Intervention
🍠 Carbs
- Overview: High-sugar diets are a primary driver of cardiovascular disease — the leading cause of death worldwide.
- A Detailed Explanation of Free Sugars
- Carbs, glucose, and the GI/GL paradigm
- [Experiment] CGM-based comparison of GI/GL and metabolic load across common foods
- Fructose: The alcohol that doesn’t make you drunk
- The blood-sugar-buffering power of resistant starch
- Introduction to dietary fiber
- A deep dive into artificial sweeteners and their safety profiles
- [New Research] Fructose is primarily absorbed in the small intestine (→ moderate fruit intake is metabolically friendly)
🧈 Fats
- Overview: Fats have been misunderstood — they’re metabolically mild
- Saturated fats: not evil, but watch out for palmitic acid and its pro-inflammatory profile
- Unsaturated fats: how to choose the right oils for your kitchen
🥚 Proteins
- Overview: Protein is the scaffold of life — but metabolically double-edged
- Protein sources and their dual role in growth vs. aging
- The relationship between protein and muscle synthesis
- Protein intake across different metabolic states
- Red meat & processed meat: a nuanced risk-benefit analysis
🥗 Macronutrient Synthesis
- How carbs, fats, and protein each influence aging
- Optimizing macronutrient intake: quantity & ratio
- Prime Diet 1.0: Our foundational guide to macronutrient strategy
PART IV
Mental & Emotional Health
- [In·Sight] Dopamine, screen addiction, and the late-night spiral
- [In·Sight] Health, like value investing, rewards compound interest — and sometimes, achieving a Prime Life requires going against the consensus.
Together, these 40+ articles form more than just a knowledge base of Prime Life. They’re a living archive of one person’s attempt to face the body, time, and the unknown — with curiosity, rigor, and resolve.
Back to the framework we started with:
Our nutrition module concludes here with the launch of Prime Diet 1.0.
Next week, we begin the next chapter of lifestyle intervention: EXERCISE.
Here’s to going further — and better — on the road to Prime Life.
Intervention recommendations are geared toward generally healthy individuals. If you have existing health conditions, always follow your doctor’s instructions.
