The relationship between insulin metabolism and aging is one of the most studied areas of the field, with decades of researchers putting in time to deepen the understanding of the web of interactions surrounding insulin. Yet this has failed to lead to any practical outcome when it comes to slowing or reversing aging. Researchers now have an incrementally better idea as to why obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes shorten life and worsen health, but that was well understood to be the case well prior to the advent of modern biotechnology.

Experimental studies in animal models of aging such as nematodes, fruit flies, or mice have observed that decreased levels of insulin …
