What Longevity Medicine Actually Includes and What It Does Not
Metabolic and biomarker evaluation with selective orthobiologics and peptide medicine — plus what the trials found, and who those trials screened out.

VO2 max as a marker of healthspan: what it measures and how to read the number
The mortality figure quoted for VO2 max is a modelled 3.7% per 1 mL/kg/min, not a measured outcome. What the published cohorts actually show.

Sleep and Connective Tissue Repair: What the Evidence Actually Supports
Roughly 1 in 3 U.S. adults say they do not get enough sleep. What that means for recovery, and the tissue-repair claim we will not make.

Grip strength and other functional markers of biological aging: what they measure and how to interpret them in 2026
Grip strength tracks strength, function and outcomes well beyond the hand. What the thresholds mean, why the trend beats one reading, and what to do next.

Peptide Therapy Explained: The Body’s Signaling Software
Peptide therapy uses signaling molecules, short chains of amino acids the body uses to tell itself what to do. It aims to fix specific signaling failures instead of overriding symptoms. It belongs inside a physician relationship with lab…

Muscle Loss and Aging: Why Sarcopenia Is a Metabolic Problem
Sarcopenia, the steady loss of muscle mass with age, is a metabolic problem because muscle is your main metabolic sink. As it shrinks, blood sugar control gets worse and metainflammation rises. Less muscle makes a worse terrain, and…

BPC-157 and TB-500: How Repair Signaling Is Coordinated
BPC-157 has been studied for building new blood supply into damaged tendons and ligaments. TB-500 has been studied for signaling repair cells to move to the site of structural failure. Both belong only in physician-directed care with lab…

Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Why Cellular Energy Limits Healing
Mitochondrial dysfunction limits healing because every repair is paid for in ATP, the cell energy that mitochondria make. When that power supply is low, even a well-done treatment fails. MOTS-c and SS-31 have been studied for restoring that…

Biological Aging: Telomeres, Gene Expression, and What Peptides Have Been Studied For
Biological aging is, in large part, the corruption of your body’s internal signaling, not simple wear and tear. Telomeres shorten, and gene expression drifts. Epitalon has been studied for turning on telomerase, and GHK-Cu for shifting gene expression.…
