Optispan is a vision for what health should be.
The typical person gives up 10-20 years of quality life in exchange for disability, frailty, and early death. We call this "the lost decade". Time that should be spent with loved ones doing the activities you enjoy are instead spent suffering from multiple diseases and taking a cabinet full of medications that probably do as much harm as good.
We believe that the current practice of medicine is disease care, not health care. We believe that everyone can get closer to their own optimal healthspan.
Join us on a journey of discovery as we explore the science of longevity and optimal healthspan ("Optispan"). The journey is the reward.
We hope you find this content valuable, join by subscribing to the channel, and come back often. More importantly, we hope that you apply what you learn here to recover your lost decade, and perhaps much more.

To go viral, influencers often share claims with no scientific backing.

Biological age tests use single markers, like testosterone, to estimate your ‘age.’
My TRT raised testosterone above 800, which the test interpreted as super young, but that doesn’t actually reverse decades of aging.
Improving health isn’t the same as reversing age.

One test said I’m 40. Another said I’m basically 70. So, what’s my real biological age?

Do you think epigenetic "ageing clocks" will ever be reliable clinical tools?

Before TRT, my “biological age” came in at 69.8 years.
VO₂ max said 40.5 years. Hippocampal volume and kidney function would each give different results.
They can’t all be right.
That’s because none of these numbers measure true biological age.

Precision matters in science. The Horvath Clock, created in 2013 by my friend Steve Horvath, estimates biological age from DNA methylation.

If a doctor recommended a direct-to-consumer "biological age" test to you, what would you do?
