Understanding the Lasting Neurological Impact of a Pandemic Most Thought We Survived In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, attention was rightly focused on immediate respiratory complications, hospitalization rates, and saving lives. But now, years later, as we continue to recover socially and medically from the crisis, a quieter and more persistent challenge has […]

Environment May Influence Aging More Than Your Genes For many years, the narrative around aging has been heavily influenced by the idea of genetic destiny — the notion that our lifespan and healthspan are largely written in our DNA. The common refrain “it’s in my genes” has long shaped how we think about longevity, chronic

Aging isn’t just about gray hair and stiff joints—it’s a cellular shift that echoes through every tissue in our bodies. But what if the secret to a calmer, healthier aging process lies not in a laboratory, but within your gut? Recent research has cast light on a remarkable compound called Urolithin A—a postbiotic metabolite created

A closer look at the science behind this NAD+ precursor and what it could mean for energy, endurance, and longevity We’re living in an era where the line between performance enhancement and longevity support is increasingly blurred. What helps athletes train harder may also help everyday people age more gracefully—and what fuels high-level physical output

In the fast-moving world of scientific discovery, one quiet but revolutionary shift is transforming how early-stage research gets funded — and nowhere is this more evident than in the emerging field of longevity science. At the heart of this shift is Gitcoin, a decentralized funding platform that is opening new doors for aging research, allowing

Aging is as natural as breathing. Yet for all the elegance of nature’s design, the way our bodies break down over time seems strangely at odds with the otherwise remarkable sophistication of human biology. Why does aging exist at all? And why hasn’t evolution found a way to stop it? As it turns out, evolution

Once seen as the realm of science fiction and speculative medicine, the idea of slowing or even halting the aging process has now taken a bold and public leap onto screens worldwide. With its debut on Apple TV and Amazon Prime on December 4, 2024, Longevity Hackers isn’t just another documentary—it’s a timely, thought-provoking journey

How emerging therapies and metabolic tools may help you reap the benefits of caloric restriction—without cutting calories Imagine extending your life, improving energy levels, enhancing brain function, and reducing your risk for chronic diseases—all without a drastic diet or punishing fasting regimen. It may sound like science fiction, but this vision is becoming increasingly plausible

Exploring the emerging research behind this ancient practice—and why modern science is rediscovering its remarkable benefits for aging well For thousands of years, cultures across the world have embraced the healing power of heat. From the Finnish sauna to Native American sweat lodges, humans have instinctively sought refuge in warm, enclosed spaces—not just for comfort,

You Are What You Eat — Especially As You Age As we navigate the shifting tides of aging, many of us seek to maintain not just longevity, but vitality—mental clarity, physical independence, emotional resilience. While exercise, genetics, and stress management all play roles, one powerful lever is within daily reach: the food we eat. A
