Living longer
Longevity Verdict
Live longer, by the evidence.
What's new in healthy aging, explained in plain English: the studies, the treatments people are trying, and what experts say about them.
The question it answers
How can I live longer and healthier?
Every new longevity study, trial, test and clinic, with what named experts are saying about it, gathered every morning from PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, bioRxiv, medRxiv and the FDA.
It shows how far research on each treatment has got, compares longevity tests and clinics, and collects what named outside experts and reviewers say, always linked to the source.
It is an aggregator, not a judge. It never presents its own verdict on whether a treatment works.
Who it's for. Written mostly for older adults and their families. No science background needed.
The evidence ladder
Never the judge.
Stages show how far research has got, not how well something works. Companies cannot pay to change them.
