Anti-Aging Medicine & Emerging Therapies
Senolytics, Rapamycin, Reprogramming & More — Separating the Geroscience from the Marketing
About this volume
Anti-Aging Medicine & Emerging Therapies is Book K7 of The Performance & Human Physiology Encyclopedia — a 93-volume, university-level library on what genuinely extends healthspan, and what is being sold to you. It is written for longevity-minded readers, biohackers and clinicians who want the evidence: deep enough that a professional already trained in the field keeps learning, structured clearly enough that a motivated reader can follow every step.
How this book is written
- University level, without dilution. Exact scientific terminology, defined at first use — mechanisms, not just conclusions.
- Myths tested against the evidence. Where a popular claim does not survive the evidence, the book says so — and shows why.
- References at the end of every chapter. Sources cited in APA 7 style, plus a master bibliography.
For general information and education only; not medical advice. Consult a qualified health professional before acting on its content.
Read an excerpt
From Chapter 1 — The Anti-Aging Frontier: Promise, Hype & How to Judge It
"For the first time in history, serious scientists are trying to treat aging itself — not just its diseases — and a few of their tools genuinely slow aging in animals. That is real, and it is thrilling. It is also where a multi-billion-dollar industry has set up shop, selling clinics, supplements, and 'protocols' for an outcome no human study has yet demonstrated. This book lives in that gap: between a legitimate scientific frontier and the marketing that has run miles ahead of it."
Longevity science is in a genuine boom — real labs, real molecules, real animal results. But it has also spawned an "anti-aging medicine" industry of clinics, tests, and supplements selling unproven (sometimes dangerous) interventions. This opening chapter draws the crucial line between legitimate geroscience and premature commercialization, and equips you with a filter to tell exciting science from marketing — the analytical engine for the whole book (closing Collection K).
