The results of a large prospective cohort study were recently published in JAMA Network Open, suggesting that even “low-risk” drinking is associated with a greater mortality risk among people with either health-related or socioeconomic risk factors. This is in line with a number of recent studies which point to a detrimental effect of alcohol, and aRead
The pomegranate, a symbol of prosperity, hope, and abundance for over four thousand years, has deeply influenced culture and history. Often depicted in art and literature, it is even suggested by some scholars that the forbidden fruit eaten by Eve in the Garden of Eden was a pomegranate, not anRead
I have been following the aging research community for over 20 years. It has been predicted that in the next 10-20 years average human lifespan will be extended to 110-120 years BUT – with good quality of health. Some of this cutting edge research that is going to make thisRead
How maintaining mitochondrial wellness supports cellular function, offsets declines and helps your patients live longer and better Why do we age? While explanations of biological aging range from telomere shortening and epigenetic malfunctions to inflammaging, current theories essentially fall into one of two categories. Programmed theories suggest aging adheres toRead
Why connective tissue and collagen are essential for vital aging, and how evidence-based supplements can keep your patients healthy and strong throughout the years. Connective tissue health is a critical but underestimated aspect of aging, often taking a back seat to factors like diet and exercise. But connective tissueRead

In a study published in the journal PLOS Biology, Argentinian researchers show that common phytosterol supplements can help slow age-related hearing loss in mice.
Key Longevity Nutrients In the relentless pursuit of longevity, scientific exploration has uncovered the potential of natural compounds to impact cellular health and extend lifespan. Among these compounds, pterostilbene stands out for its remarkable effects on longevity through the induction of autophagy—an essential cellular maintenance process. Autophagy orchestrates the recyclingRead
Introduction Longevity, the desire to extend our lifespan while preserving health and vitality, has been a fascination throughout human history. In the quest for longevity, medical science has made significant strides, unveiling the roles of cellular processes, senescent cells, mitochondrial function, and telomere health in the aging process. Alongside theseRead
