Derek Giordano has spent over a decade systematically reviewing longevity and healthspan research. His editorial methodology — primary literature first, evidence weight over anecdote, explicit uncertainty disclosure, and verifiable sourcing — reflects the standards of rigorous science journalism.
Derek is not a physician. His role is to synthesize peer-reviewed research accurately and accessibly. Every claim on IQ Healthspan is sourced to published studies, every citation is verifiable, and readers are always encouraged to consult their healthcare providers before making medical decisions.
Every article starts with peer-reviewed studies, not press releases or secondary coverage.
RCT evidence, observational data, and animal studies are always clearly distinguished.
No supplement partnerships, affiliate relationships, or financial conflicts.
Numbered references with PubMed links so readers can verify every claim independently.
Derek's research and writing covers the full spectrum of evidence-based longevity science: epigenetics and biological aging, cardiovascular risk biomarkers, exercise physiology and VO2 max, nutritional science and fasting protocols, sleep architecture, supplement evidence review, mitochondrial health, hormonal optimization, and the emerging pharmacology of aging.
