The Blue Zones: What Holds Up and What Doesn't
Sorting durable lessons from storytelling in the famous longevity hotspots — including a serious challenge to the underlying data.
Read →Inflammation Markers: hs-CRP and Aging
hs-CRP is a widely available marker of the inflammation that tracks with aging and disease. How to read it, and what moves the number.
Read →ApoB and Cardiovascular Longevity
Why this one lipid marker may track atherosclerosis more directly than the standard cholesterol panel you are used to seeing.
Read →Glucose Variability and Healthy Aging
CGM data is real biology in diabetes, but its longevity benefits in healthy people are unproven. What the evidence does support.
Read →VO2 Max Training: How to Actually Raise It
The strongest fitness-mortality link in the literature, and what training actually moves the number — intervals, volume, and time.
Read →Blood Pressure and Lifespan
One of the most powerful, least glamorous levers on healthy years, backed by large randomized trials. What the targets look like.
Read →Strength Training for Longevity
Resistance training is tied to about 21% lower all-cause mortality, and 40% when combined with cardio. What the dose-response data shows.
Read →Zone 2 and Mitochondrial Health
Why easy aerobic training builds mitochondria, and why the magic heart-rate band is overstated. What the physiology actually requires.
Read →Biomarkers of Aging: What's Worth Tracking
A practical, skeptical guide to the aging markers that actually inform decisions — and the clocks that do not yet do that.
Read →Sleep and Longevity: The Underrated Pillar
Both too little and too much sleep track with higher mortality, with risk lowest around 7 hours. What the cohort evidence really shows.
Read →The Longevity Case for Protein in Older Adults
Expert panels now recommend more protein with age than the RDA. What the evidence supports, and why per-meal dose matters too.
Read →Telomeres and Aging: What They Do and Don't Tell Us
Telomere length is a real biological clock that has been badly oversold as a personal longevity dashboard. What it does and does not tell you.
