Longevity, in your pocket — done honestly.
Heaven Health is the longevity coach built on a daily research engine. Luna writes your plan, reads your bloodwork, tracks your Heaven Score and biological age, and grounds every suggestion in peer-reviewed science. Free on iOS, Android, macOS, iPad and Vision OS — in twenty languages.
What "longevity" actually means here
The wellness industry uses "longevity" to mean roughly anything. We use it precisely. Longevity, in the Heaven Health sense, is the practice of extending your healthspan — the years of life lived in good health, with energy, mobility, cognition and connection — not just your lifespan, the count of years you live. The two diverge. The interesting work is closing the gap.
Healthspan extension is no longer a fringe idea. It is the explicit research agenda of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), academic gerontology departments at Harvard, Stanford, UCSF and the Buck Institute, and an increasingly mainstream conversation in medicine. The science is real. What is overheated is the promises sold around the science. Heaven Health works inside the science and around the overheating.
Nothing on this page diagnoses, treats, prescribes or cures any condition. Heaven Health is a wellness app, not a clinic. The recommendations Luna makes are grounded in peer-reviewed research, but research is a moving picture and individuals differ. Always discuss longevity-relevant interventions with a licensed clinician.
The Geroscience picture in 2026
Aging used to be considered the immutable backdrop of life. The last decade has changed that. Today the field of Geroscience treats aging as a set of modifiable biological processes — the underlying mechanisms that drive most age-related disease. The picture is captured in the Hallmarks of Aging framework first published by Lopez-Otin and colleagues in 2013 and updated in 2023.
The current map lists twelve hallmarks. Each is a target. Understanding them roughly is enough to make better daily choices — and Luna talks about them in plain language inside the app.
- Genomic instability — DNA damage accumulates over time. Sleep, antioxidant nutrition, and avoidance of obvious damage (UV, smoking) matter.
- Telomere attrition — the chromosome caps shorten with cell division. Exercise has the best evidence as a protective factor.
- Epigenetic alterations — methylation patterns drift. This is what epigenetic age tests measure.
- Loss of proteostasis — the cell's protein-quality control fails. Heat exposure (saunas) and exercise both support it.
- Disabled macroautophagy — the cellular recycling system slows. Caloric restriction, fasting and exercise activate it.
- Deregulated nutrient-sensing — insulin, IGF-1 and mTOR signalling shift. This is where rapamycin research lives.
- Mitochondrial dysfunction — the cellular power plants decline. Zone-2 cardio and resistance training maintain them.
- Cellular senescence — "zombie cells" accumulate and emit inflammatory signals. Senolytic research targets these.
- Stem cell exhaustion — the tissue-repair reservoir shrinks. Exercise, sleep and adequate protein support what reservoir remains.
- Altered intercellular communication — inflammatory signalling rises with age (inflammaging).
- Chronic inflammation — low-grade inflammation drives most age-related disease.
- Dysbiosis — gut microbial diversity declines. Fibre and fermented foods support it.
This is the map Luna uses to think about your plan. You do not need to memorise it. The app translates it into actions.
What Luna does daily for your longevity
The daily Luna routine is built around the interventions with the strongest human evidence. Nothing fancy, nothing fashionable — the boring, well-cited basics.
The morning ritual
About sixty seconds. Sleep quality, energy, one thing on your mind. From those three signals, plus your sleep and HRV data, Luna writes the day.
The daily plan
Five buckets, sequenced to your calendar:
- Movement. Zone-2 cardio dose, strength session if it's a training day, walking targets. The literature on these is among the strongest in all of medicine.
- Nutrition. Mediterranean-leaning, protein-adequate, fibre-rich. No calorie counting; quality and timing.
- Sleep. Bedtime target, wind-down protocol, light exposure for the morning.
- Stress. A short breath practice, a walk, social connection — chosen by your HRV trend.
- Supplements. Only where the evidence is strong (vitamin D if deficient, omega-3 if low intake, magnesium glycinate for sleep when warranted, creatine for resistance training). Luna does not push longevity supplements with weak evidence.
The bloodwork loop
When you upload a panel, Luna reads every marker, computes a biological-age estimate, and pulls the bloodwork into the daily plan. The full breakdown is on the blood test AI page.
The Heaven Score, watched gently
One daily number across sleep, stress, nutrition, movement and recovery. The day-to-day longevity proxy. Full detail on the Heaven Score page.
Heaven Research Labs — the engine behind the recommendations
Most longevity apps recycle the same advice from a few books. Heaven Health has a research pipeline reading PubMed every day. So far it has analysed 13,367 papers, produced 315 hypotheses and 82 protocols. The engine surfaces new findings to Luna and the team, and the daily plan reflects what the literature actually says — not what the wellness world has cached.
You will see the engine's work in three places inside the app and on the web:
- Research feed. Daily peer-reviewed findings, summarised in plain English, with citations. (Public web hub: /research — opens with the daily research engine output.)
- Compounds. Plain-English entries on every compound the engine has indexed — rapamycin, NMN, spermidine, urolithin A, metformin, creatine, magnesium, and dozens more. Each cites the underlying studies. (Hub: /compounds.)
- Protocols. Full multi-week longevity protocols Luna can run with you, each cited. (Hub: /protocols.)
The interventions with the strongest evidence (and the ones without)
Strong human evidence in 2026
- Zone-2 cardio, 3-4× per week. Mitochondrial health, cardiovascular risk, glucose regulation. Among the best-evidenced interventions in medicine.
- Resistance training, 2-3× per week. Sarcopenia prevention, bone density, glucose regulation, hormonal health.
- Mediterranean-style diet. PREDIMED trial and many cohorts. Cardiovascular and cognitive endpoints.
- Adequate protein (1.2-1.6 g/kg). Sarcopenia prevention, particularly over 60.
- Sleep regularity, 7-9 hours. Cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive endpoints.
- Moderate caloric restriction. CALERIE-2 trial showed slowed pace of aging on DunedinPACE.
- Social connection. Predicts mortality independently of other variables across large cohorts.
- VO₂ max in the top quartile for your age. Among the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality.
- Avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol. Boring, obvious, true.
Promising but early
- Rapamycin (off-label). Strong animal data, growing human research (PEARL trial published 2023). Discussions in academic medicine; not a general recommendation.
- Senolytic protocols. Animal data is striking; human trials are early.
- Time-restricted eating. Some metabolic benefits; longevity-endpoint evidence still developing.
- Saunas. Finnish cohort data is interesting; mechanism plausible; not yet a randomised trial.
Weak or absent human evidence (as of 2026)
- NMN, NR — early human trials, no strong longevity endpoints yet
- Resveratrol — mouse data did not replicate in humans
- Most "anti-aging" cosmetic interventions
- IV vitamin drips marketed for longevity
- Many proprietary "longevity stacks" sold online
The Heaven Research Labs engine watches these continuously. Luna will tell you when the evidence picture changes.
Heaven Health vs the longevity app market
If you have looked at the longevity app landscape, you will have seen Function Health (bloodwork-led), InsideTracker (biomarker-led), Lifeforce (membership + bloodwork), Superpower (concierge bloodwork), HUMANITY (aging-score app), ONVY (AI health coach), The Longevity AI (assistant-led), Tally (David Sinclair), and the Bryan Johnson BluePrint material. Each does part of the picture.
Heaven Health is the complete picture — conversational coach (Luna), daily plan, blood test AI, Heaven Score, biological age tracking, daily Geroscience research, twenty languages, free at the core. The comparison pages will live at /vs/function-health, /vs/insidetracker, /vs/lifeforce, /vs/humanity and /vs/onvy as we publish them.
Where to start
If you are new to longevity, the path that works:
- Install Heaven Health. Open Luna. Tell her your three goals.
- Do the morning ritual for two weeks. Let your baseline Heaven Score settle.
- Get a comprehensive blood panel if you haven't this year. Upload it. Read Luna's interpretation.
- Adopt the two daily levers Luna prioritises. Just two. Not all of them at once.
- Re-evaluate at month three. Re-test blood at month six. The interesting story is at month twelve.
This is not glamorous. It is what works. The wellness industry sells shortcuts; the longevity literature respects time.

Longevity FAQ
Is the longevity advice on Heaven Health peer-reviewed?
The Heaven Research Labs engine reads PubMed-indexed papers daily and surfaces citations alongside every protocol and compound entry. The recommendations Luna gives in your daily plan are grounded in this literature. The app cites sources directly so you can read the studies yourself.
What's the most effective longevity intervention?
The intervention with the strongest human evidence is regular cardiovascular exercise (zone-2, three to four times a week) combined with resistance training (two to three times a week). VO₂ max in the top quartile for your age is among the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality in the literature.
Should I take rapamycin or metformin for longevity?
Both are active research areas with promising animal data and developing human research. Neither is a general recommendation — both are prescription medications with off-label longevity discussions. If you are interested, discuss with a clinician who is familiar with the Geroscience literature.
How does Heaven Health compare to Function Health?
Function Health sells the panel and the membership. Heaven Health reads any panel you already have and runs the daily plan around it. Both are valuable; they answer different questions and combine well — many of our users are Function Health members who use Heaven Health for the daily coaching layer.
Can an app actually help me live longer?
An app cannot make you live longer on its own. What it can do is make the boring, well-evidenced daily choices easier to keep — exercise, sleep, food, stress, connection. The longevity literature is unromantic about this: small, sustained, consistent action beats heroic intermittent effort. Heaven Health is built around that fact.
