How the Age Well Times is Organised
Healthy aging is a big topic, it can be sliced and diced in many ways.
Longevity drugs and supplements, food and lifestyle, research breakthroughs and the media all play a part. Turning each topic into actionable habits is a theme that runs through the site.
Whether you enjoy the deep-dives into cell biology, practical guides to building habits, or the more personal side of longevity research – there are pages here for you.
To help you find your way around, I created the broad topic areas listed below:
- Science: Research into longevity and healthy aging, background pieces on cell biology, heathy and signalling mechanisms, drugs, and clinical trials.
- Lifestyle: Actionable steps for a healthier life covering exercise, sleep, avoiding toxins and steps to monitor and prevent disease.
- Nutrition: Everything food and fasting is on this page. This includes detailed discussion on supplements, foods to avoid and the risks of excess fat.
- People: Books on longevity, popular YouTube channels, podcasts and the key names and organisations in the healthy aging field.
For specific topics, there are two options. The search function is at the top of this page. You can also check out the sitemap, which lists every page.
About the Age Well Times: Zero Adverts Policy
I’m keeping the Age Well Times advert and sponsorship free.
This means no banners, no paid posts, no paid ‘shout outs,’ and zero affiliate links.
This is not to try and be more ‘worthy’ than commercial sites. It is to stop myself optimising for anything except useful content while the Age Well Times finds its place.
At some point down the line, I’ll need this site to pay its bills. When that happens, I will keep things transparent and make a blog post about the changes. In the meantime, no ads.
Let’s Get in Touch: Contacting the Age Well Times
I’d love to hear from you – however you are involved in the world of longevity and healthy aging.
Constructive feedback is welcomed, as are tips on areas of healthy aging I have currently overlooked. If you’d like to share your personal journey, or insights, then do get in touch. If you are a researcher, involved in a related organisation or are working on your own longevity-themed website let’s chat.
But (there is always a but!), I don’t want to hear from the usual suspects that blanket email every website about paid posts, app development or SEO. The answer is no, and I mark those emails as spam.
My email address is mark@theagewelltimes.com
My Blog: Documenting My Longevity Journey
I’m eyeball deep in fine tuning my own longevity habits – and have learned a lot about myself and the healthy aging world over the last three years.
My blog is tucked away here in the ‘about’ section. This is to balance my personal story and challenges, with the more practical / actionable explainers and guides in the rest of the site. I created the rest of this site to focus on you, not me.
You’ll find my background, thoughts on ethics and the current state of longevity science, trials and tribulations (especially with avoiding my nemesis, sugar!), and which habits I’m developing next on my blog posts.
Here are some posts to get you started:

I’m Not a Doctor: The Age Well Times Does NOT Offer Medical Advice
I’m a writer, not a doctor – and so do not offer medical advice of any kind.
If you choose to take supplements or longevity drugs, change your diet, start a new fasting or exercise regime or change your behaviour in any other way after reading my guides – then you absolutely need to check with a medical professional first.
This is more than just the ‘for entertainment only’ disclaimer – I’m serious.
Your personal health situation and history are unique to you. A key step in moving towards a healthier, longer life is to take personal responsibility, and a big chunk of that is to own any changes you make as your decision.
