In the evolving world of longevity science, some of the most promising discoveries are emerging not from exotic new pharmaceuticals or experimental gene therapies, but from compounds hiding in plain sight — everyday supplements that millions have been taking for years. Among these, glucosamine, a popular joint health supplement, is generating increasing scientific attention not […]

Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological condition, affects millions worldwide and remains one of the most challenging disorders of aging. Characterized by tremors, stiffness, balance issues, and often cognitive decline, Parkinson’s slowly robs individuals of their independence and quality of life. While current medical therapies can help manage symptoms, no cure exists. But emerging research suggests

Rethinking the Biology of Aging Aging has long been viewed as an unstoppable march of time—a process we endure, not influence. But modern science is shifting that paradigm. We now understand aging as a biological dance, shaped not just by genes or lifestyle but by intricate molecular signals that determine how our cells function, adapt,

And why understanding food processing may be more important to your longevity than calories or carbs In today’s age of health-conscious eating, we’ve come to scrutinize labels for fat, carbs, sugar, and sodium. But there’s one factor that may matter even more—and is often invisible at first glance: how processed a food really is. A

Rethinking Aging from the Inside Out Aging has long been thought of as a linear journey—time passes, and the body gradually declines. But recent discoveries in molecular biology and microbiome science are showing that aging is far more dynamic and modifiable than we ever imagined. At the heart of this transformation is a small, gut-derived

Dr. Mehmood Khan on Longevity Policy, Health Equity, and the Power of Unified Action In a world where aging has long been viewed as a private matter—something personal, inevitable, and often feared—a quiet revolution is underway. At the forefront of this shift is Dr. Mehmood Khan, CEO of the Hevolution Foundation, and a seasoned leader

In the search for longer, healthier lives, one intervention has consistently delivered impressive results across numerous animal models: caloric restriction. Reducing calorie intake without malnutrition has been shown to extend lifespan, improve metabolic health, and delay the onset of age-related diseases in species ranging from worms to primates. However, for most humans, sustained caloric restriction

For millions worldwide, osteoarthritis represents one of the most common—and painful—conditions of aging. While often dismissed as an inevitable consequence of wear and tear, scientists are uncovering that osteoarthritis, particularly in women, may be influenced not just by mechanical stress, but by something far more subtle: hormonal balance. New research examining the roles of estradiol

When we think about aging, most of us instinctively focus on our genes. After all, genetics influence how fast we wrinkle, how strong our hearts remain, and whether we’re prone to chronic illnesses like diabetes, cancer, or dementia. But increasingly, scientists are discovering that our environment may play an equally powerful — and possibly even

The search for interventions that slow or reverse aspects of human aging has taken researchers down many fascinating pathways — from cellular senescence to mitochondrial rejuvenation to epigenetic reprogramming. But one approach that has garnered growing attention, especially in recent years, is surprisingly straightforward: plasma exchange. Sometimes called therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), this intervention involves
