Caloric restriction means sustained reduction of calorie intake, typically 15 to 40 percent below usual intake, while maintaining adequate protein, vitamins, and minerals to avoid malnutrition.
Sauna bathing involves sitting in a hot, typically dry-to-moderate-humidity room (commonly 80 to 100 degrees Celsius in the traditional Finnish style) for roughly 10 to 20 minutes.
Cold Exposure and Cold Water Immersion

Intermittent Fasting & Time-Restricted Eating
Evidence grade 2 of 5, Thin. Read how the Atlas grades evidence.Intermittent fasting (IF) and time-restricted eating (TRE) describe eating patterns that cycle between periods of eating and fasting.
Metformin as a Repurposed Longevity Drug
Evidence grade 2 of 5, Thin. Read how the Atlas grades evidence.Metformin is a first-line, decades-old oral diabetes medication that lowers blood glucose primarily by reducing hepatic glucose production and improving insulin sensitivity.
Rapamycin (sirolimus) is an FDA-approved immunosuppressant that inhibits mTORC1, a central nutrient-sensing signaling complex that regulates cell growth, protein synthesis, and autophagy.
Growth Hormone and Hormone Replacement Therapy for Anti-Aging
Evidence grade 1 of 5, Untested. Read how the Atlas grades evidence.Growth hormone (GH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates growth in childhood and continues to regulate metabolism, muscle mass, and bone density in adults.
NAD+ is a coenzyme required for hundreds of cellular reactions, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and the activity of sirtuins, a family of proteins linked to stress resistance and.
Partial Epigenetic Reprogramming (Yamanaka Factors)
Evidence grade 1 of 5, Untested. Read how the Atlas grades evidence.Partial epigenetic reprogramming refers to briefly and repeatedly activating some or all of the four Yamanaka factors (often just Oct4, Sox2, and Klf4, abbreviated OSK) inside adult cells.
Senolytics (Dasatinib+Quercetin, Fisetin)
Evidence grade 1 of 5, Untested. Read how the Atlas grades evidence.Senolytics are compounds that selectively induce death in senescent cells, which are cells that have stopped dividing but remain metabolically active and secrete inflammatory factors (the.
Young Plasma Infusion and Parabiosis-Derived Therapies
Evidence grade 1 of 5, Untested. Read how the Atlas grades evidence.Young plasma infusion is the practice of transfusing blood plasma from young donors into older recipients, marketed with claims of reversing aging, dementia, or various chronic diseases.
