Welcome to the LampHill Letter
Our first issue: a map to the eight fully-cited guides at the core of LampHill, and how we read the evidence.
Welcome to the first LampHill Letter. Once a month we send one email: what changed in laboratory medicine, performance, and longevity, what held up under scrutiny, and what to ignore. No hype, nothing to buy, the evidence and where it stands.
This first issue is a map. We have published eight deep, fully-cited guides, one for each area we cover. Each states plainly what the primary research supports, attributes expert opinion by name, and keeps the contested questions contested. Start wherever your interest is.
The eight pillars
Longevity. What aging is, which "hallmarks" have real causal evidence behind them, and why most anti-aging claims outrun the data. Longevity & the Biology of Aging
Cardiovascular. The one area where the causal story is largely settled, and what that means for how you act on it. Cardiovascular Disease: What the Primary Evidence Supports
Brain. What protects the aging brain, where exercise fits, and which cognitive claims the trials do not support. Brain & Cognitive Aging
Muscle. Why muscle is a longevity organ, what builds and preserves it, and the protein debates that matter. Muscle & Physical Function
Nutrition. Which dietary patterns hold up in randomized trials, and where observational enthusiasm gets ahead of the evidence. Nutrition & Dietary Patterns
Supplements. Compound by compound: what has human evidence, what is animal-only, and what is marketing. Supplements & Compounds
Biomarkers. What to measure, what each test can and cannot tell you, and the surrogate-endpoint traps to avoid. Biomarkers & Diagnostics
Genetics. Which longevity gene findings replicate, and what they do and do not mean for you. The Genetics of Longevity
How we read the evidence
Every claim on LampHill links to its source. We state peer-reviewed research as fact, attribute expert opinion by name, and show both sides when good studies disagree. The full standard is on our about page.
That is the Letter. Next month: what is new, what changed, and what we got wrong. See you then.
