The editorial team behind our longevity-science news coverage. We monitor the journals and reporting that matter, then translate them into plain language with our evidence lens.
The IQ Healthspan News Desk is the editorial group that produces our recurring longevity-science news beat. We are not a single reporter — we are a small team that monitors a curated list of primary sources, weighs new findings against the evidence we already cover elsewhere on the site, and publishes original short-form posts under /news/.
Every post is written in our own words. We do not republish source articles. Direct quotations are kept short and clearly attributed, and every post ends with a credit block linking to the original publication so readers can verify the primary source for themselves.
Our beat is a deliberately narrow set of trustworthy outlets. We do not chase social-media-driven hype cycles, and we generally avoid wellness publications that reverse-engineer their headlines from supplement-affiliate revenue.
Press releases get downgraded; pre-registered trials and peer-reviewed papers get foregrounded. We always note when a result is preclinical, open-label, or industry-funded.
The News Desk does not take payment from supplement companies, longevity clinics, or pharma. Our beat is funded by IQ Healthspan's general operations, not by anyone whose product we might cover.
Every post is written from scratch. Quotes from sources are kept short and attributed. Facts aren't copyrightable; we paraphrase the substance and credit the publication that did the reporting.
If we get something wrong — a misread effect size, a wrong company name, a stale link — we fix it on the page and note the correction at the bottom. We do not silently rewrite.
Three filters: (1) Does the result move the field, change clinical practice, or shift the regulatory picture? (2) Does it intersect with topics our readers already follow — biomarkers, geroprotectors, exercise, sleep, nutrition? (3) Is there a primary source we can credit and link to?
We skip most billionaire-protocol stories, most supplement launches, and most pre-print "breakthroughs" until they've been replicated or peer-reviewed. We also try not to cover stories that exist only because a PR firm pushed them.
