The Studies
The longevity market runs on studies few people read past the headline. We read them. Each piece checks one widely-cited claim against the primary research – what it found, what it buried, and whether it holds.
Does hyperbaric oxygen reverse aging? What the telomere study actually showed
A real, peer-reviewed signal – at a clinical dose you cannot buy, in a tiny sample with no control arm for the telomere result, from a team that sells the treatment. Intriguing, not settled, and not what a home chamber delivers.
Read the fact-check →Should healthy people wear a CGM? What OTC clearance actually changed
OTC clearance made CGMs easier to buy; it did not prove that healthy people need a monthly glucose feed. Useful as a two-week audit for prediabetes or a specific diet question, weak as an open-ended subscription for the worried well.
Read the fact-check →Do weighted vests build bone? The claim survives only in a narrow lane
A useful load-adder, not a bone-density guarantee. The best case is an adjustable vest used during controlled walking, stairs or bodyweight work; the weak case is buying one instead of lifting, jumping or getting a DEXA scan.
Read the fact-check →The Agewell Briefing
When a score moves or a claim fails the document check, you hear it here first.
