Additionally, we plan to incorporate advanced multi-omic modeling, such as the CREformer, to refine our epigenetic and regulatory measurements for improved accuracy in biological age assessments.
[1] To determine my biological age, we have completed hundreds of biological age measurements on dozens of organs to date (see monthly notes for details). When we complete the remaining measurements, covering my 70 organs (ETA Q3 2022), we will use all measurements in a single biological age formula, with weightings for each organ based on their clinical relevance. Until then, we are relying on 6 epigenetic clocks* to calculate whole body biological age.

#### Considerations for premenopausal females:
- Women should prioritize high-intensity and strength training during the follicular phase (first half of the cycle), as estrogen enhances performance, muscle growth, and recovery.
-
- In the luteal phase (second half), focus on lower-intensity activities like Zone 2 cardio and lighter strength training, as higher progesterone reduces exercise capacity and slows recovery.

Reasoning:
Based on the research paper’s findings, female players spent significantly more time in moderate-intensity HR zones and reported elevated energy levels in the early luteal phase.
Protocol: females
-
Training: - Prioritize zone 2 cardio and easier strength training. Recovery is slower, lower intensity and regularity of activities.
