Sources & methodology

How we decide what to tell you — and how we show our work.

How we rank evidence

  1. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) carry the most weight.
  2. Cohort and other observational studies can show associations, but they can’t prove cause and effect.
  3. Animal and lab studies are early clues only. We always label them “not yet in humans.”

Every claim has a source

Every claim links to a PMID (PubMed ID) or a DOI, so you can read the original study yourself. If we can’t find a reliable source for a claim, we don’t make it.

How we use AI

Our hosts are AI-generated presenters, and scripts are written with AI assistance. Each script is checked against the cited sources before it is published. Details: AI disclosure.

Corrections policy

When we get something wrong, we fix it, say what changed, and add a dated entry below. To report an error, write to info@agelessroute.org.

Corrections log

  • October 18, 2026: Corrected a citation in our senolytics article. The key study showing longer lifespan in mice is Xu et al., 2018, Nature Medicine (doi:10.1038/s41591-018-0092-9), not “Kirkland et al. 2019.” This was a mouse study, not yet in humans.
  • October 18, 2026: Four earlier articles were taken offline while we re-check each claim against its source. We will republish them only when they meet the standard on this page.

Conflicts of interest

We don’t sell supplements, and we have no affiliates or sponsors. No affiliate links, no sponsors, no paid endorsements. If that ever changes, we will say so clearly, on this page and wherever it applies.
