Evidence-Based Longevity Platform

About Extend.Health

We're building the world's first gap-first longevity platform— identifying exactly what you're missing, not repeating advice you already follow.

Why We Exist

The longevity industry has a problem: everything sounds the same.

"Sleep 8 hours." "Exercise regularly." "Eat more vegetables." You've heard it a thousand times. But if you're already sleeping well, this advice is worthless to you. What you need to know is: what am I NOT optimizing?

That's where Extend.Health comes in. We don't give you generic protocols. We analyze your specific situation, identify your gaps, and create personalized protocols focusing on high-impact changes you're not making yet.

Our Core Principles

Gap-First Methodology

We identify what you're NOT doing, not what you already know. Generic advice is worthless—personalized gap analysis is everything.

Evidence-Rated Recommendations

Every recommendation is backed by peer-reviewed research. We rate evidence quality from meta-analyses (◆◆◆) to expert opinion (△).

Implementation-Focused

Knowledge without action is useless. We provide week-by-week protocols with habit stacking, obstacle identification, and tracking methods.

Continuous Optimization

Longevity is a journey, not a destination. Quarterly retakes track progress, close gaps, and adapt your protocol as you optimize.

Research Foundations

Every recommendation is backed by peer-reviewed research. Here's the science behind our approach:

🌙

Sleep Science

Key Research Findings:

  • Sleep deprivation increases mortality risk by 12% (Sleep Health Journal, 2023)
  • Sleep quality predicts cognitive decline better than duration (Neurology, 2022)
  • Circadian rhythm optimization extends healthspan in mammals (Nature, 2023)
💪

Exercise Physiology

Key Research Findings:

  • VO2 max is the strongest predictor of all-cause mortality (JAMA, 2018)
  • Strength training reduces mortality by 23% independent of cardio (BMJ, 2022)
  • Zone 2 training optimizes mitochondrial function and metabolic health (Cell Metabolism, 2023)
🥗

Nutritional Science

Key Research Findings:

  • Protein intake >1.6g/kg correlates with reduced sarcopenia risk (Nutrients, 2022)
  • Meal timing affects metabolic outcomes independent of calories (Cell, 2023)
  • Micronutrient optimization improves healthspan markers (Aging Cell, 2023)
🧠

Cognitive Health

Key Research Findings:

  • Social connection reduces dementia risk by 50% (Lancet, 2020)
  • Cognitive stimulation creates cognitive reserve against decline (Nature Neuroscience, 2023)
  • Chronic stress accelerates biological aging by 6+ years (PNAS, 2022)
