Welcome to the Longevity Advice!
We’re J.P. and Rachel and we started this website as an informational resource for people who, like us, are not scientists but who still want to know what science can tell them about extending their healthy lives, today.
We’re using some simple principles to guide our content and the website in general:
- Accessible to the non-scientist. Articles will be written in accessible language, with medical and scientific terms and concepts explained clearly. If you have a PhD or M.D. you will still benefit from our content, but if you don’t you should be able to easily understand what we’re discussing.
- No quackery or snake oil. Any life extension methods we mention positively must have rigorous, peer-reviewed, and evidence-based scientific backing for their efficacy. Pseudoscience like “spiritual healing” and “homeopathic treatments” has no place on this website (unless supported by extensive clinical trials and sound, peer-reviewed science).
- Helpful over profitable. While we do intend to make some money from this site eventually—if only to pay for cool new life extension content and projects—neither of us needs the money (one is early-retired, the other has a day-job) and we will never let financial considerations trump the integrity and the helpfulness of content on Longevity Advice. This is especially true as we want to make this site into an educational resource for our own families and loved ones, whose health we care about way more than a couple extra bucks in affiliate fees.
