/r/longevity
Reasons to hope to see the age of 100 and beyond: Biomedical rejuvenation through damage repair, manipulation of metabolism, beyond the mere results of exercise, caloric restriction, and fasting. Stem cell therapies, anti-cancer viruses, gene therapy, senolytics, and whatever is coming next...
/r/longevity is the place to find all information about new longevity, healthspan, happyspan, and rejuvenation research related news.
Welcome to r/Longevity
Feel free to discuss longevity-related topics, share the latest aging research, media, news, and articles! Just be sure to not post clickbait headlines, avoid hyperbolic headlines, and try to link to original sources.
General Subreddit Rules and FAQ.
This subreddit is not about solving problems that can be solved by diet (/r/ScientificNutrition), supplementation (/r/supplements), sleep, exercise (/r/fitness), or fasting (/r/fasting, /r/FMD). A good lifestyle helps increase the percentage of the healthy part of a life span, as well as reduces the risk of early death or chronic sickness or disability but does not help in defeating the inevitable age-related disease.
There is nothing on the market as of right now (2024) that you can purchase or sign up for and get some of the benefits that are the aim of this subreddit (addressing multi-factors of age related damage and disease). The goals that are part of this subreddit's theme are being worked on in the form of very early research, and the expected time frame of such advances hitting the market are years away, but we are here to follow the progress.

STAY Study - Phase 2 Trials
Hi all,
Not sure if this sub is exclusive to human longevity, so feel free to delete if that is the case.
I was curious if anyone here has enrolled their pet in the STAY healthspan extension study being conducted by Loyal. If so, how have things gone? Have you had any concerns? Has your pet reacted well to the treatment?
Link: https://loyal.com/clinical-trials
I have been in talks with a vet clinic in Florida that is involved in the study and actively in the process of enrolling my dog. I was just curious of people's experience with the study so far.
Thanks in advance!
