The Science of Longevity

Longevity science explores why we age, how age-related damage accumulates, and which interventions slow decline and extend both lifespan and healthspan. This paper summarizes the biology, measurable markers, and practical strategies that define modern longevity medicine.

1. The Hallmarks of Aging

Aging is driven by interconnected biological processes known as the 'Hallmarks of Aging.' These include genomic instability, telomere attrition, mitochondrial dysfunction, and more.

2. Core Longevity Pathways

Cellular nutrient-sensing networks like mTOR, AMPK, and sirtuins integrate environmental signals from diet, exercise, and stress exposure to regulate growth versus repair.

3. Lifestyle Foundations

Sleep, nutrition, physical activity, stress regulation, and community are the core foundations of a long and vital life.

4. Monitoring & Metrics

Tracking biological age, metabolic markers, inflammation, and fitness measures helps align interventions with outcomes.

5. Conclusion

Longevity is not just about extending years—it's about maximizing vitality, functionality, and fulfillment. Through the integration of advanced science, mindful living, and preventive care, the path to living Stronger. Longer. becomes attainable.
