Longevity

Extend healthspan with anti-aging nutrition

Longevity isn't just about living longer — it's about living better for longer. The science of aging is advancing rapidly, and nutrition plays a central role in extending both lifespan and healthspan.

The Science of Aging

Aging researchers like Dr. David Sinclair, Dr. Valter Longo, and Bryan Johnson have identified key biological pathways that influence how we age. Diet directly affects these pathways:

  • mTOR pathway — protein/nutrient sensing, reduced by fasting
  • Sirtuins — longevity genes, activated by caloric restriction
  • Autophagy — cellular cleanup, triggered by fasting
  • Inflammation — chronic inflammation accelerates aging

Best Diets for Longevity

🫒

Mediterranean Diet

Gold Standard

The most researched diet for longevity. Blue Zone populations who live past 100 typically follow Mediterranean-style eating patterns.

Intermittent Fasting

Excellent

Activates autophagy and sirtuins. Research by Dr. Valter Longo shows periodic fasting may be one of the most powerful longevity interventions.

🥬

Plant-Based Diet

Very Good

High in polyphenols and antioxidants. Blue Zone populations eat predominantly plant-based with small amounts of animal products.

Longevity Strategies

🍽️ Caloric Moderation

Caloric restriction (without malnutrition) is the most robustly proven life-extension intervention across species.

🥦 Polyphenols

Compounds in colorful plants that activate sirtuins. Berries, dark chocolate, olive oil, and green tea are potent sources.

⏰ Time-Restricted Eating

Eating within an 8-12 hour window allows for daily autophagy activation and circadian rhythm optimization.

📉 Reduce Sugar

Glycation — sugar binding to proteins — accelerates aging. Minimizing sugar and refined carbs protects against this damage.

"Aging is a disease, and it's treatable. The interventions we have today — primarily through diet, exercise, and targeted supplements — can already add healthy years to our lives."
