In a rare Ray Peat article which does not appear on his webpage we learn that the age pigment lipofuscin builds up in cells and correlates with age.

At the end of the article, Ray Peat recommends avoiding estrogen, excess iron and unsaturated fats.
He also recommends consuming fruit, low fat milk, coconut oil and vitamin e.
These are standard Peat recommendations, however he also suggests something I hadn't seen around:
Anyone had any luck with a little e + alcohol therapy in order to dissolve age pigment from their cells and restore youth?

While rodents live a year or two--and die in a much more hydrated state than people or animals that live approximately a century--at the end of a rodent's normal life span its cells (e.g., brain and heart) contain as much lipofuscin as the cells of century-old people do. Dogs accumulate lipofuscin about 5.5 times as fast as people do, and people live about 5.5 times as long as dogs. This is just what we might expect if lipofuscin is the "terminal toxin."

In cultured brain cells, it was found that vitamin E and ethyl alcohol promote its disappearance. Since alcohol's toxic effects largely derive from its interactions with unsaturated oils and iron, a small amount of alcohol might be useful in clearing lipofuscin.
