A new study looked at 107 married or cohabiting couples, ages 40–87, measuring marital happiness alongside sleep, diet, physical activity, and three markers of biological aging: DNA methylation, telomere length, and p16INK4a expression. Researchers followed most couples for two years.

Higher marital happiness was associated with some markers of slower biological aging among couples with healthier habits.

But among couples with poor sleep or unhealthy diets, higher marital satisfaction was also associated with faster telomere shortening and accelerated DNA methylation aging.

A happy relationship is crucial. So are the routines you build together.

Menopause is often talked about as a single event. In reality, it’s a transition that can unfold over years.

Perimenopause and postmenopause each bring different hormonal changes.

Understanding where you are in that journey can help you make sense of what’s happening in your body and what support you may need.

That’s why we created Balance: for menopause and your long-term health.

Meet Balance, a new approach to menopause from Elysium.

Perimenopause and menopause can affect how you feel today, from hot flashes to changes in sleep and mood. But the transition can also influence your long-term health.

We took both into account.

Balance combines NR + PT, S-equol, and ergothioneine in a formulation informed by menopause research and the science of healthy aging.

NR + PT has been studied for its role in NAD+ biology, with new research exploring its effects on menopausal symptoms. S-equol has been studied for hot flashes, while ergothioneine helps protect cells against oxidative stress.

Because menopause is more than a moment in time. And your health deserves the long view.

We’re studying the relationship between NAD+ biology and menopause.

Because menopause deserves a place in the longevity conversation.

Menopause is part of the larger story of women’s health and longevity.

A systematic review of 53 studies, representing more than 450,000 women across 28 longitudinal cohorts, found associations between menopausal symptoms and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, psychiatric disorders, and reduced bone mineral density.

The findings don’t establish that menopausal symptoms cause these outcomes, and more research is needed to understand these relationships. The authors conclude that future work, however, should “evaluate whether treating menopausal symptoms could lead to improvements in future health outcomes.”

And they point to an important idea: menopause deserves a place in the longevity conversation.

Cooler weather. A warm cup of coffee. And, perhaps, some ancient cellular biology.

New research suggests caffeine may activate AMPK, an ancient cellular energy sensor that helps cells respond to energy demands and stress. AMPK is involved in processes like cell growth, stress responses, and DNA repair—making it an intriguing pathway to study in the context of aging.

AMPK acts as a brake on TORC1, a well-studied lifespan regulator. When TORC1 is inhibited, cells shift away from growth and toward maintenance and survival. Interventions that inhibit TORC1, including rapamycin and dietary restriction, have been linked to lifespan extension across a wide range of model organisms, and those findings are an established cornerstone of aging biology.

One important caveat: this new research was conducted in yeast. The next question is whether caffeine activates the same pathway in humans.
