It’s Halloween, so here's some science behind a good scare. A study tracked 262 people through an extreme haunted house. On average, they reported a better mood afterward, especially those who walked in feeling bored or tired. The key is control. A haunted house is a short scare you choose, with a clear exit. Your stress response spikes, then settles back down. Long-term stress works differently. It stays switched on day after day, with no exit. So pick your scare tonight, a haunted house or a horror movie, and enjoy the jolt. Source: Kerr, Siegle & Orsini, Emotion, 2019.

What better place to get longevity advice than from the people most certified to give it: centenarians? “Don’t say: ‘Oh, I’m 100, I can’t do that.’ Just go and do it.” - Mary Jacob, 108, Veterinary Nurse “If there’s a problem you can do something about, get on and do it. If you can’t, don’t worry about it.” - Jean Jackman, 100, Shorthand Typist “If you try to be kind to people, you’ll be on the road to a good life.” - George Dunn, 100, Veteran “Dance a lot, avoid stress, and remember that all problems have a solution.” - Virginia Ballon, 101, Kindergarten Teacher

More protein isn’t always more longevity. Protein is essential for maintaining muscle, strength, and healthy aging. But “proteinmaxxing”—pushing intake far beyond what your body needs—may not be the longevity hack social media makes it out to be. Research suggests the relationship between protein and longevity is nuanced: your age, activity level, total intake, and even protein source all matter. The goal isn’t to eat as much protein as possible. It’s to eat enough to support muscle and function without assuming more is automatically better. When it comes to longevity, optimization > maximization.

When you have a longevity mindset, the question isn’t just “What do I weigh?” It’s “How well is my body functioning?” That's the story you need to know.

What's a common denominator to issues like skin decline, fatigue, slow recovery, poor sleep, brain fog, and hair decline? Aging. So why treat it separately when you can treat the root cause?

The question isn’t: “How do I live to 100?” It’s: “How do I stay healthy for as much of my life as possible?” At NOVOS, we spend every day figuring out how to answer that question as accurately and evidence-based as possible.

The world of "wellness" is big and getting bigger. That means there is a lot of misinformation, and that there's room for people who aren't qualified to make a lot of noise. At the end of the day, wellness works when it starts with science. Here are a few habits scientists are skeptical of. Questions? Comment below 👇

In a 2025 study, women took 500mg of NMN daily for 12 weeks. Actively growing hairs rose ~57%, and individual strands got measurably thicker. It was a small pilot with no placebo group; a promising signal, not proof. Bigger trials come next. NMN is the NAD⁺ booster in NOVOS Boost. 🔗 novoslabs.com/product/novos-…

There is a new word in longevity science worth knowing. Ferro-aging: an iron-driven form of aging in which iron quietly accumulates in your tissues over the years and fuels chronic damage to your cells. Coined in 2026 in Cell Metabolism, it is now seen as a core, targetable driver of how primates, us included, grow old. The science of aging keeps getting more precise. So does NOVOS Core.

Two metabolites often associated with energy metabolism may have broader roles in aging biology. Emerging research suggests creatine and creatinine may reflect more than muscle metabolism, with potential links to cellular energy homeostasis, metabolic health, and biological aging. The evidence is still evolving, but these metabolites may provide insights beyond their traditional role as energy-related markers. All references + details on Reddit teddit.net/r/NovosLabs/comme…

Fasting is having a moment. So is NMN. A 2025 study asked what happens when you do both. The answer: in mice, fasting improved endurance and gut health only when paired with NMN. Alone, it didn't get there. The logic: fasting flips on repair switches; NMN refuels the NAD⁺ they run on. One sets the demand, the other supplies the fuel. Honest note: animal study, human trials still needed. NMN is the NAD⁺ booster in NOVOS Boost. Link novoslabs.com/product/novos-…

Lionel Messi plays a World Cup final on Sunday at 39. Eight goals this tournament. The all-time World Cup scoring record at 21. Most players his age retired years ago. In 2014 he rebuilt his diet with nutritionist Giuliano Poser and made recovery the priority. Twelve years later, he's still the most decisive player on the pitch. Aging isn't one process. It's 12. NOVOS Core is the first formulation designed to address all 12 Hallmarks of Aging. 🔗 Source: Man of Many, June 2026.
