Marc Provissiero, a movie producer, has taken steps to enhance his longevity by joining a high-end clinic, focusing on diet and exercise. However, a medical warning about prediabetes led to him being prescribed metformin, a common diabetes medication. While research on metformin as an anti-aging treatment is limited and inconsistent, Provissiero reports feeling more energetic and healthier since starting the drug. Doctors are hopeful that metformin might extend healthy years for individuals, but scientific validation remains ongoing and uncertain.
"The hope is that this is going to lead to a greater number of healthy years," said Marc Provissiero, reflecting on his experience with metformin in preventing chronic diseases.
"Scientists have known for decades that metformin lowers blood sugar and is commonly prescribed for weight loss and polycystic ovary syndrome," explains Dr. Darshan Shah.
