The longevity market · scored quarterly
Every chamber, sauna, panel and plate – scored on evidence, total installed cost, independent owner measurements and owner reports, cross-checked against the documents, not the brochures. Clinics and retreats listed from public sources. Then, and only then, the links.
What you get
Agewell turns a noisy longevity market into a short, defensible sequence: measure first, buy only what has a case, and keep the medical caveat visible.
See what to skip before a device absorbs the budget: weak evidence, hidden installation costs, resale traps and claims that sound stronger than the research behind them.
Every verdict weighs evidence, total cost and owner reality before a link appears.Start with baselines, strength, cardio, protein and sleep before hardware. Then move to the category most likely to pay back for your actual use case.
The protocol stage is attached to recommendations, guides and clinic caveats.Full-body scans, HBOT, regenerative clinics and premium retreats are shown with the upside and the false-positive, dose or medical-supervision issue in the same read.
Profiles separate public-source listings from founder-tested experience and physician-led decisions.Equipment Index · issued quarterly
Evidence is what the research supports. Value is what owner reports, independent measurements and total cost support. When they disagree, we say so. Peptides we deliberately do not score – it is a medical decision, not a checkout one.
Evidence scores the strength of the clinical research; Value weighs total cost against the benefit the evidence supports. Both are sourced editorial judgments, re-issued quarterly. Affiliate relationships are disclosed per-link; verdicts are written before any commercial conversation.
Protocol before equipment
The most expensive mistake in longevity is buying stage III before finishing stage II. Every recommendation on this site carries its stage.
Bloods, DEXA, VO₂max, grip. You cannot manage what you refuse to measure.
Strength twice a week, zone 2, protein, a sleep window. Free, boring, and worth more than everything below it.
Only now does hardware enter. Every purchase is mapped to a metric it should move.
Diagnostics, clinics, protocols – with a named physician and stop criteria in writing.
The Longevity Readiness Check · free
Fourteen questions, cross-checked against healthspan levers and mainstream preventive guidance. You leave with a readiness score, the single thing worth fixing first and a result you can share.

A directory of real longevity clinics and retreats, described from public sources unless we label first-hand experience explicitly. These are not blanket audits or medical endorsements. Pricing is approximate where the clinic does not publish it; click through to confirm.
A roughly one-hour full-body scan – skin, cardiovascular and more – with a doctor consult. A single-scan model, not a membership. We assessed it from the public record.

Before you buy
Our takeDo not buy a device to compensate for an unfinished baseline. Spend first on measurement and repeatable habits.
Nothing with a plug, until the basics hold: strength training twice a week, zone 2 cardio, protein and a sleep window. After that, the first money goes to a baseline – bloods, DEXA, VO₂max – then to the equipment category with the strongest evidence-and-value case in our Index: currently infrared saunas, if you will use one weekly, and red light panels.
Read the baseline guide →Our takeHome HBOT is a clinical protocol decision disguised as equipment. The studied dose is not the soft-shell home chamber.
Only with a defined protocol and a supervising clinician. The telomere and cognition studies used clinical 2.0 ATA chambers; the soft-shell 1.3 ATA units sold for home use are off-label, deliver a weaker dose, cost $10,000–40,000 installed and lose most of their value on resale. For most buyers, clinic sessions are the smarter first step.
Read the HBOT guide →Our takeInfrared is a reasonable heat habit, not proven longevity hardware. Buy only if weekly use and installation costs make sense.
Yes, if you will use it weekly and you price the full installation – the heater is the cheap part; wiring and a possible panel upgrade are the real bill. One caveat: the strong longevity data is from traditional Finnish saunas, not infrared, so buy it as a heat habit you will keep, and clear cardiovascular contraindications with your physician first.
Read the infrared sauna guide →Our takeSome are useful if they change the next clinical decision. A scan without follow-up is often just expensive uncertainty.
Some are. We keep a directory of real longevity clinics and retreats – from full-body diagnostics like Neko Health to founder-tested regenerative care at SLS and multi-day resets like Clinique La Prairie. We separate public-source profiles from first-hand experience, and we keep the medical caveat visible.
