Longevity

What aging well actually is, what the research says about it, and how much of it is still unknown.

Longevity is not about living as long as possible. It is about how many of those years you are still healthy for, and worldwide that gap runs to roughly a decade.

This page is the map. What there is to know, where to find it, and which pieces we have not written yet.

What longevity actually means

This is the step after the basics

Sleep, food, movement, recovery, your head and your surroundings. If one of those is still wobbling, start there and come back. There is not much to fine-tune on a foundation that is not level.

Go to the foundations

Everything we have written about it

Six subjects. The empty ones are here too, so you can see what is coming.

Measure it yourself

Published formulas, run in your own browser. The values you type stay there.

What you can do today

The same research, written out as something you can carry out. Free, and staying that way.

A corner of a room with a large window looking onto dense woodland. Ferns and a palm stand in earthenware pots, a jute rug lies on the floor, and afternoon light falls across the wall in stripes.

Air, noise and green

Air, noise and green space: the three exposures that act on you every day whether you think about them or not, and what the largest studies found.

Free

An artery in cross section, seen from the inside. Yellow plaque lies along both walls, and red blood cells push through the narrowing left between them.

Blood work: lipids

Your lipid panel has five or six numbers on it and they are not equally important. Which one carries the risk, which one is a message about something else, and how far diet and training actually move them.

Free

A man sits cross-legged on a mat by a tall window, eyes closed and chin slightly raised. One hand rests on his chest and the other on his belly, with trees in full leaf outside.

Breathwork

The one part of your nervous system you can operate on purpose, what five minutes a day was actually measured to do, and the four patterns worth knowing.

Free

A wooden table covered in high-fibre food: a bowl of broccoli, sprouts, avocado, chickpeas, oats, chia seeds and raspberries, and around it wholemeal bread, kale, an artichoke, berries, walnuts and almonds.

Fibre

The one nutrient almost nobody reaches, what the evidence for it actually says, and how many grams are really in the food you already eat.

What we do not know yet

Most of it. This site carries 19 verdicts. 1 of them rest on strong evidence and 8 on limited evidence; the rest sit in between.

That is not modesty. It is the state of the field, and anybody telling you otherwise is selling you something.
