When it comes to longevity and health, most people fixate on familiar metrics like cholesterol, blood sugar, or VO₂ max. Yet metabolic flexibility – the body’s ability to efficiently switch between fuels – remains an underappreciated cornerstone of long-term vitality.

Discover why building and maintaining muscle is essential for longevity, metabolic health, and disease prevention. Learn how much muscle is “enough,” how strength and quality factor in, and what science says about aging well through muscle.

Not all protein powders are created equal—quality, digestibility, and gut impact determine how well they support health and performance.

Exercise physicians call low-heart-rate Zone 2 one of the best tools for improving metabolic health and supporting longevity.

Grip strength predicts longevity—and a simple hanging exercise may be the easiest way to build it. The power of the dead hang.

Citrate, glycinate, oxide, threonate… with so many magnesium forms, how do you know which one actually works for your goal?

The goblet squat is a versatile power-builder and movement-strengthener that carries over to real life.

While biological age attempts to quantify cellular and metabolic health, cardio fitness age, based largely on your VO₂ max, may be one of the strongest individual predictors of longevity, disease risk, and overall vitality.

Grip strength, a simple yet effective measurement, has emerged as a significant biomarker in assessing both physical health and predicting longevity.

Improving VO₂ max extends beyond the pursuit of athletic excellence; it is also a vital component of a preventive health strategy that may promote longevity.

As we get older, it is essential to maintain physical activity and mobility. This can become increasingly difficult as joints begin to...
