Recent changes to Human Longevity and Performance Patterns.

2026-05-08

What’s New

  • New article: Healthspan vs. Lifespan — a sourced guide to distinguishing years alive from years lived with preserved function.
  • New article: Evidence Tiers — a practical grading map for distinguishing human trials, observational evidence, mechanism, consensus, and disputed longevity claims.
  • New article: Lifestyle Theater — a sourced antipattern for recognizing when visible longevity signals displace the base behaviors that preserve function.
  • New article: Time-Restricted Eating — a sourced guide to daily eating windows, mixed human trial evidence, contraindications, and the boundary between fasting structure and fasting identity.
  • New article: Protein Intake for Sarcopenia Prevention — a sourced guide to daily and per-meal protein targets, resistance-training pairing, and medical boundaries for preserving muscle function with age.
  • New article: Mediterranean Diet Pattern — a sourced guide to the food-quality base behind cardiovascular, cognitive-aging, and healthy-aging claims.
  • New article: Fasting-Mimicking Diet — a sourced guide to 5-day periodic fasting-mimicking cycles, their human biomarker evidence, commercial context, and safety boundaries.
  • New article: Stack Creep — a sourced antipattern for auditing supplement accumulation before it becomes an expensive, poorly governed longevity routine.
  • New article: VO₂max — a sourced guide to cardiorespiratory fitness as a measured capacity, mortality-risk marker, and training target with clear testing boundaries.
  • New article: Zone 2 Cardio — a sourced guide to aerobic base training, lactate-threshold uncertainty, recoverable weekly dose, and the boundary between useful physiology and Zone 2 hype.
  • New article: VO₂max-Targeted Intervals — a sourced guide to using hard aerobic intervals to raise the cardiorespiratory ceiling while respecting recovery, injury, and safety boundaries.
  • New article: Resistance Training for Sarcopenia Prevention — a sourced guide to progressive loading for preserving strength, power, lean mass, bone-loading stimulus, and physical reserve with clear safety boundaries.
  • New article: Finnish Sauna Protocol — a sourced guide to dry sauna frequency, cardiovascular evidence, observational limits, and heat-dose safety boundaries.
  • New article: Dose-Curve Antipattern (Hormesis Overdose) — a sourced guide to avoiding recovery-blind stress dosing across heat, cold, fasting, hypoxia, and training.
  • New article: ApoB Screening — a sourced guide to using apoB as a particle-count companion to the lipid panel, with clear limits on universal screening and clinician interpretation.
  • New article: Resting Heart Rate and HRV — a sourced guide to wearable-era autonomic trend signals, mortality evidence, recovery-score limits, and when the numbers need clinical context.
  • New article: Sleep Architecture — a sourced guide to N1, N2, N3, REM, sleep-cycle timing, wearable-stage limits, and why total sleep time is necessary but incomplete.
  • New article: Purpose (Ikigai-class) as Longevity Factor — a sourced guide to purpose as a measured longevity-adjacent factor, with mortality, dementia, physical-function, causality, and SES boundaries.
  • New article: Mindfulness for Cortisol Modulation — a sourced guide to mindfulness as stress-response training, with clear cortisol, HRV, active-comparator, safety, and longevity-claim boundaries.
  • New article: Rapamycin Off-Label Longevity Dosing — a sourced guide to off-label intermittent sirolimus, its animal and human evidence, monitoring boundaries, and where the longevity claim remains unproven.
  • New article: GLP-1 Receptor Agonists for Longevity-Adjacent Outcomes — a sourced guide to semaglutide, tirzepatide, cardiovascular and metabolic outcome evidence, safety updates, lean-mass risk, and the limits of the healthy-adult longevity claim.
  • New article: Evaluating a Longevity Clinic — a sourced due-diligence checklist for checking clinic credentials, evidence claims, incentives, safety systems, and exit paths before buying a protocol.
  • New article: Medical Tourism for Longevity — a sourced map for separating cross-border access from evidence, regulation, product identity, facility governance, and continuity of care.
  • New article: Fountain-Life-Style Annual Deep Screen — a sourced guide to evaluating high-cost annual longevity-clinic diagnostic bundles by component evidence, follow-up governance, and false-positive risk.
  • New article: Medical Tourism Quality Roulette — a sourced guide to avoiding cross-border frontier-care decisions where access outruns evidence, safety systems, records, and follow-up care.
  • New article: Rapamycin Cargo-Culting — a sourced guide to the trap of treating mouse data, expert enthusiasm, and a weekly dose as settled healthy-adult longevity medicine before monitoring and stopping rules exist.
