Jardiance - The Secret Longevity Weapon
Why it's so insanely effective
Happy Tuesday!
I just released a new vide on Cardiogen, the heart bioregulator peptide.
If you want to read the deep dive email article I wrote last week, you can also find that here.
In light of today’s video about heart health, I wanted to write about something that has greatly benefited me over the last six months in the realm of cardiovascular health - Jardiance (empagliflozin).
When I first started taking Jardiance, I was not using it for blood sugar issues.
I was primarily focused on metabolic optimization—specifically, managing oxidative stress and inflammation for the purpose of longevity.
I was already in great shape metabolically, but countless people in the longevity community were singing its praises, so I figured I would give it a shot.
Within a few weeks, I felt lighter, more energetic, and more metabolically flexible.
On my lab work, my biomarkers continued to improve, even though they were good from the jump.
The more I use it in my life and see folks in our community reap its benefits, the more amazed I am.
Here’s why Jardiance has quickly become one of my favorite longevity and biohacking tools.
What Exactly is Jardiance?
Jardiance, also known by its scientific name empagliflozin, was originally developed as a diabetes medication.
But the more we learned, the clearer it became that Jardiance is about way more than just diabetes—it has incredible benefits for cardiovascular health, longevity, and even anti-aging.
Its primary mechanism involves blocking the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose, meaning your body eliminates extra sugar through your urine.
This helps stabilize blood sugar and dramatically reduces metabolic stress.
And no, it doesn’t cause scary blood sugar crashes like insulin—more on that later.
How Jardiance Benefits Your Heart Health
One of the biggest revelations was Jardiance’s powerful effects on heart health. Huge clinical trials have demonstrated that Jardiance:
Reduces heart-related deaths by 38%.
Lowers overall death risk by 32%.
Decreases hospitalizations for heart failure by 35%.
These findings aren’t limited to diabetic patients; non-diabetics also experienced significant heart health improvements.
Jardiance directly reduces stress on your heart by gently reducing blood pressure and helping your heart cells use energy more efficiently.
In short, it helps your heart work smarter, not harder.
Jardiance and Longevity
Jardiance addresses multiple core mechanisms of aging:
Reduces inflammation: Jardiance significantly lowers inflammatory markers like IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP. Chronic inflammation (“inflammaging”) is one of the root causes of aging, so this alone is a huge win.
Improves metabolic efficiency: By promoting mild ketosis, Jardiance helps your heart cells run on cleaner fuel sources (ketones), reducing oxidative stress and cellular damage.
Protects kidneys and vascular health: Better kidney health equals better heart health. Jardiance slows kidney function decline and reduces pressure in your arteries, protecting these vital longevity organs.
Animal studies have even shown that Jardiance can extend lifespan by nearly 6%—a significant finding in longevity research.
Real-World Outcomes
Clinical evidence aside, Jardiance simply helps you feel better day-to-day.
Users experience modest but meaningful weight loss, reduced visceral fat (that harmful fat around your organs), and lower blood pressure.
Unlike drugs that make you feel sluggish, Jardiance enhances your overall quality of life by preventing the debilitating effects of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular strain.
Jardiance vs. Statins: Addressing the Root Cause
Now, you might be wondering: “How does Jardiance stack up against statins for heart health?”
Great question.
Statins primarily focus on lowering LDL cholesterol, but they often come with significant downsides like muscle pain, fatigue, and even slightly increased risk of developing diabetes—ironically undermining the metabolic health they aim to protect.
Jardiance, on the other hand, addresses the root causes of heart disease—namely inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction.
Instead of merely patching the problem (as statins often do), Jardiance goes straight to the heart of aging and chronic disease by calming inflammation, improving metabolic flexibility, and enhancing cardiovascular function at a fundamental level.
In other words, Jardiance is fixing the underlying problem.
Jardiance Will NOT Tank Your Blood Sugar
A common concern with blood sugar medications is hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar).
Let me put your mind at ease: Jardiance does NOT cause this issue.
Its action is glucose-dependent, meaning it only kicks in when blood sugar is high. As your blood sugar levels approach normal, Jardiance naturally reduces its effect.
You won’t experience sudden crashes or constant hunger like you might with insulin.
Your body remains in full control, operating safely within a healthy glucose range.
The Ultimate Longevity Stack: Jardiance, Metformin, Retatrutide
Want to maximize Jardiance’s benefits even further?
Consider stacking it with metformin and retatrutide for an incredibly powerful anti-aging and longevity stack.
Metformin activates the AMPK pathway, improving insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation.
Retatrutide, a triple hormone receptor agonist, induces profound fat loss (up to 24% body weight reduction!), dramatically cutting inflammation tied to visceral fat.
Jardiance completes the trio, optimizing metabolic efficiency, protecting your heart and kidneys, and further reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
Together, these three compounds target inflammaging—the chronic inflammation associated with aging—from multiple angles. It’s like giving your body a metabolic reset, effectively rolling back years of internal damage.
Who Should Consider Jardiance?
You might be wondering, “Is Jardiance only for people who are already sick?”
Absolutely not.
Jardiance is not just for diabetics or those with existing heart disease.
It’s a proactive, preventative tool that anyone serious about longevity should consider.
Even healthy individuals can benefit from its metabolic and cardiovascular protective effects without significant risks.
In my opinion, Jardiance is one of the most powerful and practical anti-aging tools available right now.
If you’re committed to enhancing your longevity and quality of life, Jardiance deserves your attention.
Bottom Line
Jardiance has personally transformed my metabolic health, reduced my inflammation markers, and optimized my cardiovascular function.
The science is robust, and my experience speaks for itself: this medication addresses the core metabolic dysfunction and inflammation that drives aging and chronic disease.
It’s time we stopped treating diseases after they occur and started proactively optimizing our biology.
Jardiance offers us precisely that opportunity.
If longevity, metabolic health, and feeling younger every day resonate with you, it’s worth exploring Jardiance.
It could very well become your new longevity secret weapon.
Best,
