Men/Women Life Expectancy Gap Widens in U.S.
What’s Happening?
Earlier this month, a cross-sectional study published in JAMA Internal Medicine looked at mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics. What they found is concerning experts. In 2021, men had a life expectancy of 73.5. Women’s life expectancy was 79.3. This meant the gap had grown to 5.8 years!
Why?
The blame for some of the increase has been put on COVID-19 fatalities and drug overdoses among men. Researchers don’t yet understand why men died more often from COVID-19 than women, especially since the gaps weren’t the same in all states.
However, they do have several theories, such as men working more in occupations that had higher rates of virus exposure and more men experiencing homelessness or being incarcerated. It also seemed that women were more likely to follow infection prevention strategies, including receiving vaccinations.
Finally, men do seem to be sicker when they get COVID-19.
New XPRIZE offers $101 million for longevity therapy.
What’s Happening?
You can now win $101 million if you develop a successful longevity therapy.
Why?
XPRIZE is a non-profit that aims to incentivize the development of beneficial technologies. It was started in 1994. Previously, they’ve funded prizes for spaceflight, oil cleanup, and medical diagnosis.
The competition will include hundreds of teams competing for the next seven years. The $101 million will be awarded to the first team that creates a therapy that produces rejuvenation of 20 years or more.
Smaller prizes (e.g., $61 million) will be paid out if the therapy produces rejuvenation of only ten years. There will also occasionally be check-in periods, and significant funds will be doled out to competing teams that show promise.
Are you Vitamin D Deficient?
As we head into winter, vitamin D deficiency may be on your mind. Less time outside, less exposure to the sun, and an earlier sunset all contribute to this concern. And for many of us, this season comes with a sense of dread. We don’t want to feel anxious or run down.
Increasing your vitamin D levels now can help this transition feel easier.
Since we are all about being prepared for the cold and flu, I highly recommend increasing your Vitamin D intake, especially as the days get shorter. (Do NOT stop getting your daily sunshine, though!) Find a source that combines it with Vitamin K; you’ll understand it better if you watch my videos. But they work synergistically, and only getting Vitamin D without Vitamin K is one of the biggest mistakes I see many make.
You know, I trust Just Thrive’s Probiotics as one of the few that actually work, and their Vitamin D+ K formulation is one of the best I have come across. Don’t forget to use the code DRDOCTOR to get 15% OFF your order.

? Fun Fact for this Week!
What is a “democracy sausage”?
Australia has compulsory voting and a 92 percent turnout rate. Many of the polling stations are in schools, which tend to use the elections as fundraising opportunities by hosting cookouts for hungry voters. So-called “democracy sausages” are a ubiquitous sight during Australian election days.
