LampHill is an evidence-based resource for laboratory medicine, peak performance, and human longevity. The name is the mandate: Laboratory Medicine, Peak Performance, and Human Longevity.
We translate primary research into clear, honest guidance. We care more about getting the evidence right than about having an opinion on everything. Where the science is strong, we say so plainly. Where it is thin, contested, or only promising, we say that too.
We are explicit about how strong the evidence behind each claim is, and we grade our sources before we rely on them. A few principles govern everything we publish:
- We state as fact only what peer-reviewed research supports. If a claim rests on a published study, we say it plainly and link to the study. If it doesn't, we don't present it as settled.
- We attribute expert opinion rather than dress it up as proof. When a researcher or analyst makes a claim the trials haven't confirmed, we name them (“so-and-so argues…”) rather than stating it in our own voice.
- Anecdote is not evidence. Forum reports and self-experiments can flag a question we then investigate, but we never publish them as a finding.
- When good studies disagree, we show both sides. You'll find a “Where the Evidence Is Contested” section rather than a tidy, one-sided answer.
- Every factual claim links to its source. The numbered citations in each article point to a reference list with PubMed links, so you can check our work.
- We flag conflicts of interest. When a study or expert has a financial stake, we say so.
- Physician oversight. Clinical content is reviewed by Joseph Anderson, MD before publication. This site is educational and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
LampHill is educational. We describe what studies found and how strong that evidence is; we do not provide personalized medical advice. Talk with your own clinician before acting on anything you read here, especially if you take medications or have a medical condition.
