When you’re measuring physiology, workload matters.

For cycle VO₂ testing, the bike isn’t simply something to pedal. We need to know the workload being produced as the test progresses so we can interpret the physiological response alongside it.

We use Velotron cycle ergometers for our bike-based VO₂ and lactate assessments. Their accuracy has been evaluated in peer-reviewed research, and they are paired with our ParvoMedics TrueOne metabolic cart—a system used in high-performance and research settings, including Olympic Training Centers and NASA.

But, as with any piece of testing equipment, the hardware is only part of the picture. Calibration, protocol selection, testing setup, and the training and experience of the exercise physiologist conducting the assessment all matter.

The aim is to achieve a true maximal effort within a carefully controlled protocol, producing physiological data that are robust, interpretable, and genuinely useful.

Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the most important health measures most people never measure.

We routinely know our cholesterol and blood pressure. Yet most people have no idea where their cardiorespiratory fitness stands.

That matters. Cardiorespiratory fitness is strongly and consistently associated with long-term health outcomes and adds meaningful information beyond many traditional cardiovascular risk factors. The American Heart Association has argued that it deserves consideration as a clinical vital sign.

It reflects how effectively the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems work together when demand rises.

A laboratory VO₂ assessment gives us a direct way to measure that capacity — and establishes a baseline that can be tracked and improved over time.

You don’t need to be an athlete to want to know this.

Know where you are. Then decide what to do with it.

One more reason to consider testing: Evolving Health assessments are HSA-eligible.

Our assessments use lab-grade equipment and objective physiological measurements to give you meaningful insight into your health, fitness and physical function.

Coverage depends on the terms of your individual plan.

10,000 steps.
Your wearable sleep score.
One gram of protein per pound.
The one supplement everyone should take.

Some health advice begins as a useful shorthand and eventually gets treated like a universal rule.

The problem isn’t that every recommendation is wrong. It’s that the context often disappears.

Where did the number come from?
What does the evidence actually show?
And does it apply to you?

Part 2

Four more longevity trends—and four very different levels of evidence.

In Part 2, Dr. Demetrios Sirounis rates creatine, peptides marketed for longevity, sauna and VO₂ max.

A low score doesn’t mean something has no possible clinical use. It means the evidence for improving healthspan or extending lifespan is limited, indirect or uncertain.

Part 1

Some longevity trends have earned their reputation. Others have mostly earned attention.

In Part 1, Dr. Demetrios Sirounis rates cold plunges, strength training, NAD+ drips and sleep—based on the strength and consistency of the human evidence.

The scores are intentionally simple. The underlying evidence isn’t.

If I were looking at my health over the next 20 or 30 years, these are some of the things I’d want to understand.

Not because they’re new, and not because they’re fashionable.

Because they tell us something useful.

Some are easy to measure. Some are harder. None of them should be looked at on their own.

This isn’t a ranking, and it isn’t meant to be a complete list.

It’s simply where I’d start.

The question I keep coming back to is:

Will this information actually change what I do next?

If the answer is no, I’m not sure how useful the measurement is.

The studies referenced in the slides vary in design and population, and much of the evidence is observational, so association should not be confused with causation.

Something I noticed while looking at wellness reward programs. VO2 max which is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health in the research isn’t part of the equation yet it’s definitely worth knowing your numbers regardless.

Credentialed exercise physiologists.

Behind every measurement.

Every physiological measurement is only as good as the technology used to collect it—and the expertise of the professional performing the assessment.

At Evolving Health, every assessment combines laboratory-grade equipment with credentialed exercise physiologists trained to deliver accurate, reproducible, clinically meaningful data.

From selecting the appropriate protocol and ensuring meticulous test ex*****on to recognizing subtle physiological responses in real time, expertise influences every measurement.

Because confidence in your results begins with confidence in how they were measured.

Evolving Health combines physician expertise, credentialed exercise physiology, and clinical-grade diagnostics to deliver meaningful insights—not just measurements.

Big peptide news last week — an FDA panel voted to recommend BPC-157 for legal compounding access, over the objection of the agency’s own scientists, who reviewed the evidence and recommended against it. Here’s what that vote actually changes, and what it doesn’t. (Spoiler: legal access and clinical evidence are not the same thing.)
