Jan 30, 2026 · 12 min read
Research does not show that the branded “Blueprint Stack” supplement bundle itself improves vascular health outcomes in men; any likely benefit comes from the Mediterranean-style foods in the routine and the cardiometabolic improvements they support. This men’s health-focused Blueprint protocol review explains what’s in the stack based on public descriptions of Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint protocol, ...
Athlete biomarker testing for longevity: The lab numbers that keep men performing longer
Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert
Jan 19, 2026 · 12 min read
For longevity-focused men who train, repeating key labs, especially HbA1c (a three month average of blood sugar) and ApoB (the number of atherogenic particles that can enter artery walls), can reveal early metabolic drift and cardiovascular risk before performance drops or disease shows up. Pair those with iron, inflammation, and hormone and recovery markers to ...

Many researchers consider these changes a core driver of aging. The good news is that mitochondria can respond to the right signals, and this guide shows how to ...

Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert
Dec 25, 2025 · 10 min read
Foods that kill zombie cells are not a single magic ingredient, but a pattern of whole foods rich in senolytic and senomorphic compounds that may help your body manage senescent cells. The science is promising, yet most “zombie cell” research uses high dose isolates, so your best move is to build an evidence based longevity ...
