Why this matters
The people who most need reliable longevity information are often the most at risk of being misled. High-net-worth individuals are targeted by premium-priced products with sophisticated marketing and no clinical backing. Busy professionals don't have time to read the primary literature. And most "evidence-based" wellness sites use that phrase as a marketing headline, not an actual standard.
The goal of this site is simple: create the resource that a serious, skeptical physician — with 47 years of clinical experience and no financial conflicts — would hand to a patient who asked "what actually works?"

I spent nearly five decades in clinical practice watching patients spend thousands of dollars on supplements that had no real evidence behind them — and miss the ones that did. The longevity space has always attracted brilliant researchers and relentless marketers, often in the same room. I built Evidence Based Longevity because I wanted one place where the standard was simple and non-negotiable: if there is no peer-reviewed human trial, the claim does not get made. After 47 years of reading the literature, treating patients, and watching trends come and go, I have a pretty clear sense of what holds up. This site is my attempt to put that filter to work for people who are serious about their health but do not have the time or background to wade through the primary research themselves.
"The restraint is the brand signal. If we tell you something works, it works. If we tell you the evidence is limited, we mean it. That's the only promise this site makes — and it's the only one that matters."
