Life-Span Extension Protocols are clinically applied, evidence-informed strategies designed to delay the onset of age-related disease and slow the overall rate of biological senescence, thereby increasing the total duration of an individual’s life. These comprehensive protocols integrate hormonal optimization, targeted nutritional interventions, pharmaceutical agents, and lifestyle modifications aimed at modulating fundamental aging pathways. The ultimate goal is to extend not just life, but the health span, which is the period of life spent in good health.
Origin
These protocols originate from the convergence of gerontology research, particularly the study of conserved longevity pathways like mTOR and sirtuins, and the clinical application of anti-aging medicine. The development is rooted in translational science, moving findings from model organisms to human clinical application.
Mechanism
The protocols function by targeting the nine hallmarks of aging, including genomic instability, telomere attrition, cellular senescence, and deregulated nutrient sensing. Hormonal components, for instance, restore anabolic signaling to counteract sarcopenia and osteopenia. Other components might include senolytics or metabolic regulators designed to improve mitochondrial function and enhance cellular repair mechanisms, collectively promoting systemic resilience against age-related decline.
