AT-HOME LONGEVITY SCIENCE
Experts & research we follow
Our guides start from what credentialed researchers publish, not what marketing pages claim. These are the people, reference libraries, podcasts, and source pages we read most.

Protein intake, resistance training, muscle maintenance, and practical interpretation of exercise nutrition evidence.
Andy Galpin, PhD
Professor and human-performance researcher focused on exercise physiology and athlete testing.
Strength, conditioning, recovery, testing basics, and what consumer recovery metrics can and cannot tell you.
Content references
Wendy Troxel, PhD
Clinical psychologist and behavioral sleep medicine researcher at RAND.

Where we check the actual studies
- PubMed
The primary index of peer-reviewed biomedical research. Where we go to read the actual studies behind a claim.
- Examine
Independent summaries of supplement and intervention evidence, graded by strength. No ads, no products.
- Cochrane Library
Systematic reviews — the most conservative read on whether an intervention actually works.
- ClinicalTrials.gov
Registered trials, including ones still running — useful for seeing what hasn’t been proven yet.
Disagree with how we summarized someone's work, or think we missed a researcher worth following? Tell us — corrections make the site better.
Use the research as a buying filter
