I want to feel better
Energy, fatigue and endurance. Feeling a change and measuring performance are different questions.
Curiosity, grounded in evidence
Can we live healthier for longer?
Explore what science says about feeling better, functioning better and aging well. Start with a question, see what happened in humans, and follow the evidence.

What are you curious about?
I want to function better
Strength, mobility, memory and cognition. Explore what people could actually do after an intervention.
I want to stay healthier
Heart and metabolic health. Keep risk factors, lab measures and clinical outcomes in view.
I want to understand aging
Biological-aging measures, healthspan and lifespan. What can each kind of evidence tell us?
These are questions to explore. A topic appearing here does not mean an intervention has demonstrated a benefit.

Rapamycin & longevity · Human observational evidence
Does rapamycin help humans live longer? A large transplant study finds no clear survival benefit
An observational analysis of 11,474 kidney transplant recipients found similar adjusted median survival ages whether or not they were prescribed an mTOR inhibitor.

An oral microbe is linked to slower aging — with geroprotective signals in animals
Researchers linked Neisseria flavescens to decelerated aging signatures in humans, then reported geroprotective effects in worms and mice.

A clear answer. An inspectable record.
The reader page explains the question, the human results and the Reality Check. Its Evidence Profile lets you inspect populations, effect estimates, uncertainty and original sources.
Both follow the same evidence. A strength gain, a change in a blood test and a longer life are different findings.
