Can Botanicals Replace Metformin?
While emerging anti-aging technologies are still emerging, the best-tested treatments we have for the present all rely on the insulin metabolism.

Growth & Aging; Creatine & Health
Mainstream evolutionary theory says that the body is forced to make compromises, and this this is the ultimate reason for aging.
Longevity Day 2015
There has been emerging a tradition by longevity researchers and activists around the world to organize events dedicated to promotion of longevity research on or around October 1 – the UN International Day of Older Persons.
Untested Treatments for Longevity, and How to Test Them
Tests with human subjects require decades, and are impossible to control, so the gold standard for testing claims for treatments that delay aging is the controlled trial with rodents, usually mice.
HGH and IGF–Promise and Danger
In the 1980s, Growth Hormone was explored by athletes to build muscles and by aging men to…build muscles. GH made them feel younger, revived energy and sex drive and even cognitive performance. Then the other shoe dropped: Animals without the GH receptor lived longer, while animals with extra copies of the GH gene die early.
Genome Stability Leads to Negligible Senescence
What would you say if I told you that aging happens not because of accumulation of stresses, but rather because of the intrinsic properties of the gene network of the organism?
The Three Stages of Man (why Radical Life Extension cannot be achieved by everybody)
This essay is a personal view, distilled from over 30 years of studying aging and life extension at the scientific and clinical levels.This essay is a personal view, distilled from over 30 years of studying aging and life extension at the scientific and clinical levels.
Review: Rejuvenation Biotech Conference
Fifteen years ago, Aubrey de Grey organized the first SENS roundtable–Strategies for Engineering Negligible Senescence. It was a small group of out-of-the-box thinkers, heretics who talked about attacking head-on the idea that aging is just part of the human condition, looking for medical (and beyond-medical) treatments that would restore strength, stamina, and alertness, and lower the risk of all the diseases of old age at once.
