Why it’s confusing

Let’s make sense of longevity.

Too many opinions

Many voices, not much evidence-based guidance in one place.

Hype outruns the science

Claims tend to move faster than the research meant to support them.

Every site feels like an ad

Plain, honest information is surprisingly hard to find.

Where do you even start?

The basics are rarely explained in simple, everyday words.

It’s not you — the information out there is a mess. Here’s the clear version.

Overview

What you need to know.

Longevity is not about living to 120 in a hospital bed. It is about healthspan — staying active, sharp, and independent for as many years as possible. The research is clear: the biggest longevity gains come from exercise, sleep, nutrition, and stress management. Supplements and advanced interventions layer on top of that foundation. This page covers what actually moves the needle and helps you build a practical longevity plan.

Getting started

Where to start with Longevity

Get Your Baseline

Comprehensive bloodwork, body composition scan (DEXA), and if possible, a VO2 max test. Know where you stand.

Build Your Exercise Base

3 days resistance training, 3 days Zone 2 cardio, 1 day VO2 max intervals. This is the foundation.

Dial In Nutrition

Adequate protein (0.7-1g per pound bodyweight), whole foods, colorful vegetables, omega-3 sources.

Good to know

Quick tips

VO2 max is one of the strongest predictors of longevity. Test it and work to improve it.

Muscle mass predicts independence in old age. Resistance training is non-negotiable.

Get ApoB tested — it is a better cardiovascular consideration marker than standard LDL cholesterol.

Zone 2 cardio (150+ minutes per week) builds the mitochondrial base for everything else.

Eat adequate protein as you age — your body becomes less efficient at using it after 40.

Annual comprehensive bloodwork is the best early note system you have.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the most important thing for longevity?

Exercise. Specifically: resistance training for muscle preservation and cardiovascular fitness for heart and metabolic health. No supplement, peptide, or medication comes close to the impact of consistent exercise.

What supplements help with longevity?

Creatine, omega-3, vitamin D, and magnesium have the broadest research support. NAD+ boosters and rapamycin are areas of active research but not yet proven in humans for longevity.

What is Zone 2 cardio?

Zone 2 is easy aerobic exercise where you can still hold a conversation. Think easy jogging, cycling, or bconsideration walking. 150-180 minutes per week builds mitochondrial density and cardiovascular health.

Should I get a biological age test?

It can be useful as a baseline measurement, but have not obsess over it. Focus on the inputs (exercise, sleep, nutrition) rather than constantly measuring the output.

Is intermittent fasting good for longevity?

Research suggests time-restricted eating may have metabolic benefits, but the evidence is not as strong as exercise, sleep, and nutrition quality. If it helps you eat better, great. Find the approach that fits your lifestyle.
