Yale put out a piece on which interventions actually seem to slow aging, and the part that caught my eye was their push for better biomarkers so we don't have to wait decades to know if something works. That part alone is huge, because right now most longevity stuff feels like you're guessing based on a single blood marker or how your skin looks on a Tuesday.

What I appreciated is they seemed to rank interventions by how solid the evidence is, not just by hype. The skeptic in me still wants to know which ones they flagged as actually meaningful versus the usual "eat less and sleep more" stuff we already knew. Also curious how rapamycin and the senolytics stack up in their ranking since those are the ones I see debated constantly here. Has anyone looked into the actual study, or seen the full list of interventions they covered?
