Key Points: As published in Cell, a new study shows that 50 milligrams of cordycepin prolongs the lifespan of mice while counteracting several important features of aging, including altered hormone levels, weight gain, muscle weakness, heart malfunction, metabolic dysregulation, and cognitive impairment. These profound health and longevity effects were largely dependent on a region of… Continue reading Cordyceps Mushroom Molecule Prolongs Lifespan If Taken At Correct Time of Day, New Study Shows

Ginseng Boosts NAD+ and Telomeres: New Study in Middle-Aged Adults
Key Points: The roots of Panax ginseng, a plant native to East Asia, have been used for thousands of years to enhance health and longevity. Modern science now supports ginseng’s capacity to target the underlying cellular processes that drive aging, and further empirical research may support the lore surrounding ginseng’s anti-aging properties. With this in… Continue reading Ginseng Boosts NAD+ and Telomeres: New Study in Middle-Aged Adults
FDA Greenlights Life Biosciences’ Human Study, Setting Up Pivotal Test for Aging Theory from Harvard’s David Sinclair
Key Points: One of the most renowned theories of aging attempting to explain some of the causes of aging and how to rejuvenate cells, the Information Theory of Aging from Harvard’s David Sinclair, will soon be put to the test. In that respect, Life Biosciences, a biotech company co-founded by Sinclair, received the FDA’s approval… Continue reading FDA Greenlights Life Biosciences’ Human Study, Setting Up Pivotal Test for Aging Theory from Harvard’s David Sinclair
Elon Musk Says Figuring Out How to Reverse Aging ‘Highly Likely’
Key Points: Elon Musk, the well-known and renowned CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has made many bold predictions, but perhaps none as pertinent to the human condition as his latest. In an episode of the Moonshot podcast with American entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, 54-year-old Musk relayed his conclusion that scientists can help engineer longer human lifespans.… Continue reading Elon Musk Says Figuring Out How to Reverse Aging ‘Highly Likely’
The Anti-Aging Debate Everyone’s Talking About: Inside Bryan Johnson’s Jubilee Showdown
Key Points: In a recent Jubilee video, longevity fanatic Bryan Johnson sat across from twenty anti-aging skeptics to defend a set of claims that challenge conventional assumptions about human aging. He introduced each claim with a high degree of certainty, pointing to rapid progress in biotechnology, cellular rejuvenation research, and AI-enabled medical discovery as justification… Continue reading The Anti-Aging Debate Everyone’s Talking About: Inside Bryan Johnson’s Jubilee Showdown
Garlic Compound Extends Life, Builds Strength, and Boosts Memory, New Study Shows
Key Points: There are thousands of different proteins in our body, each with its own unique function. These microscopic machines work together to perform everything from building muscle to forming new memories. Proteins can even change form and perform additional tasks associated with health and longevity. In a new study, Spanish scientists reveal that garlic… Continue reading Garlic Compound Extends Life, Builds Strength, and Boosts Memory, New Study Shows
New Study Shows Increasing Mitochondrial Protein Improves Energy Production and Extends Lifespan
Key Points: Aging disrupts the body’s ability to produce energy efficiently and increases chronic inflammation. As mitochondria — the cell’s energy producers — become less efficient with age, cellular energy output declines while harmful byproducts known as reactive oxygen species accumulate beyond the cell’s ability to neutralize them. These byproducts damage cells and accelerate aging. Over… Continue reading New Study Shows Increasing Mitochondrial Protein Improves Energy Production and Extends Lifespan
How to Boost Mitochondrial Tissue Density and Quality for Longevity
Key Points: With the rise of publicity and interest in the burgeoning field of longevity science, people interested in optimizing the length of their lives without an age-related disease (a concept known as healthspan) may wonder what things they can do. Interestingly, a key hallmark of aging garnering more attention recently is the functional deterioration… Continue reading How to Boost Mitochondrial Tissue Density and Quality for Longevity
New Study Shows Cranberry Extract Equivalent to Metformin in Fighting Aging
Key Points: Metabolic syndrome is one of the defining aging-associated health challenges of the modern world. It is not one disease but a cluster of conditions—abdominal obesity, elevated blood sugar, high blood pressure, and dysregulated cholesterol—that sharply increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, heart disease, stroke, and early mortality. In the… Continue reading New Study Shows Cranberry Extract Equivalent to Metformin in Fighting Aging
Dark Chocolate Compound Linked to Slower Aging, Study Finds
Key Points: As published in Aging, Bell and colleagues from King’s College London unveil data showing an association between elevated levels of theobromine (a compound derived from dark chocolate) circulating in the blood and a slower pace of aging. The researchers uncovered this association with an age assessment that gauges epigenetic age (an assessment based… Continue reading Dark Chocolate Compound Linked to Slower Aging, Study Finds
