THIS WEEK IN LONGEVITY
🧖♀️ See your future face (for better or worse)
Source: Midjourney | longer.
You can now preview how your face might age over the next 40 years, based on your habits. Haut AI just launched a new AI skin-aging simulator with Noom, showing users two side-by-side futures: one healthy, one not so much. It’s like a time machine for your pores, minus the sci-fi.
What to know:
Shows up to 40 years of aging: Haut AI’s new tool simulates how your skin might change with lifestyle, skincare, and sun exposure.
Two aging modes: Skin mode focuses on wrinkles and tone. Full-face mode adds weight changes, UV damage, and hair graying.
Hyper-realistic, not filtered: The simulation keeps your identity intact and delivers photo-quality results in seconds.
Now in the Noom app: Called Future Me, the feature helps users visualize how habits today affect long-term health and appearance.
Built on science-backed data: Trained on large skin datasets, the AI predicts perceived age and visual outcomes with high precision.
Why it matters: Seeing your future face might be more motivating than any health tip. This tool makes long-term change feel real, not theoretical. Turns out, your skin might be the most honest life coach you’ve got.
What this means in practice: If a glimpse of future-you helps you say yes to sunscreen or sleep, that’s progress. Even small changes now could pay off on your actual face. Basically, it’s a selfie from the future with a health warning built in.

🦠 Kefir + fiber beats omega-3 for inflammation
Source: Midjourney | longer.
A new study from the University of Nottingham found that combining fermented kefir with prebiotic fiber reduced inflammation better than either fiber or omega-3 alone. The secret? Feeding good gut microbes the fiber they need to thrive. It’s like giving your internal peacekeepers both a weapon and a snack.
What to know:
Synbiotic outperformed single supplements: The combo of kefir (a probiotic drink) and prebiotic fiber reduced inflammatory markers more than omega-3 or fiber alone.
Kefir brings live microbes: Made by fermenting goat’s milk with kefir grains, it contains a wide range of beneficial bacteria and yeasts.
Prebiotic fiber feeds those microbes: The added fiber helps the microbes grow and produce beneficial compounds like butyrate (an anti-inflammatory molecule).
Broadest drop in inflammation: Over six weeks, healthy participants taking the synbiotic had the biggest decrease in whole-body inflammation signals.
Supports immune and metabolic health: Lower inflammation is linked to better balance in the immune system and reduced risk of chronic conditions.
Why it matters: Most supplements work in isolation. This shows how pairing the right ones can unlock more powerful benefits for your immune and metabolic systems. Turns out, even your gut bacteria do better with a plus-one.
What this means in practice: Consider adding fermented foods and diverse fibers to your daily routine. Think kefir with oats, or sauerkraut with lentils. Basically, feed your gut crew—and they’ll return the favor.

MONEY MOVES IN LONGEVITY
💰 Adaptyx raises $14M to scale its molecular biosensor patch, turning skin into a real-time health dashboard.
💰 Cala lands $50M to scale its tremor-calming wearable; steady hands, sharper lives.
💰 Bexorg raises $42.5M to scale its AI-plus-human-brain CNS platform; drug discovery just got a working memory.
Pelage snags $120M for Phase 3 hair loss drug trials; stem cells wake up, follicles fight back.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT

1. Menopause finally gets a health plan
Oscar Health and Elektra launched HelloMeno, the first ACA insurance plan designed for menopause. It covers hormone therapy, insomnia meds, and expert care. This is long-overdue recognition that menopause isn’t niche. It’s mainstream. And it’s about time care caught up.
2. D3 outperforms D2 in boosting vitamin D
A new meta-analysis found that vitamin D2 may actually lower D3 levels in the blood, undermining its effectiveness. D3 appears more beneficial overall. Think of D3 as the upgrade your immune system, bones, and mood have been waiting for, especially if you’re supplementing.
3. Your brain has a heartbeat and it matters
Scientists found that deep brain blood vessel pulses differ by age and blood pressure, revealing how fast your brain may actually be aging. Two 60-year-olds can have brains decades apart on the inside. This new scan shows it before any visible damage sets in.
THE NEXT BIG THING
Longevity athletes meet real-world biomarkers

Rejuve.ai just launched a study tracking how training, therapies, and lifestyle affect biological aging during the Infinite Games 2026.
It combines continuous biomarker testing, wearables, AI models, and a decentralized research protocol to capture aging data from over 100 participants. The goal is to create a global, real-world dataset that connects peak performance with healthier aging.

WHAT ELSE YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS WEEK
Source: EON Health
🥜 Food First: New research led by the University of North Dakota shows antioxidant-rich whole foods beat supplements for health and longevity. Walnuts, blueberries and red kale top the list while pills can’t compete.
🦠 Gut Shift: New research shows aging guts lose good bacteria and gain harmful ones, sparking chronic inflammation and tissue damage. Boosting healthy microbes in centenarians may protect brain, muscle and immune function.
🤖 Longevity OS: EON.Health’s AI platform uses personal health and behavior data to deliver tailored, evolving longevity insights. It adapts in real time to keep aging in check.
🔥 Sauna Boost: Finnish researchers found infrared sauna sessions after workouts speed recovery and enhance sprint and jump performance in team athletes. Regular use reduces soreness and improves training quality.
🧫 Skin to Embryo: Scientists created human embryos by fusing skin cell DNA with donor eggs and sperm, aiming to help those without viable eggs. Most stopped growing due to random chromosome sorting and major hurdles remain.
