Boilerplate

Copy-paste ready:

Lifespan Vault (lifespanvault.com) is an independent editorial review site for premium longevity gear: saunas, cold plunges, red light therapy, wearables, sleep systems, at-home diagnostics, and supplements. The site tracks verified retail pricing on 123 products across 12 categories, publishes head-to-head comparisons and buyer's guides, and maintains the Longevity Gear Price Index. Every review includes a "skip if" section, and the full catalog is machine-readable for AI search engines.

Fast facts

Founded

2026, United States

Founder

Ryan, independent operator. Also the founder of MyProtocolStack, a protocol and biomarker tracking platform.

Coverage

123 reviewed products across 12 categories, from $18 supplements to $350,000 clinical hyperbaric systems.

Pricing data

Every price verified against the merchant's own listing with a per-item verification date. Aggregates published in the Longevity Gear Price Index.

Editorial model

Independent reviews with explicit 'best for' and 'skip if' guidance. Affiliate links never affect rankings or pricing data. No coupons, no cashback, no sponsored placements.

AI readable

Full catalog served to AI assistants via llms.txt, a JSON feed, and an MCP endpoint. ChatGPT is already a top referrer to the site.

Story angles we can support today

1. What home longevity actually costs. The Price Index answers the question every wellness trend piece skips: entry, median, and flagship pricing per category, plus what a complete setup runs at each tier. All figures citable with attribution.

2. AI search is changing how people buy. This site was built agent-readable from day one and now sees ChatGPT among its top referrers. We can speak concretely, with our own referrer data, about how AI assistants are starting to shape high-ticket purchase research.

3. The honest-affiliate experiment. Review sites are under fire for pay-to-play rankings. Ours publishes its editorial policy, marks every affiliate relationship, and tells readers when to skip a product. We will talk openly about the economics, including what that honesty costs.

4. Category trend data. Which longevity categories are getting cheaper, which are premiumizing, and where the entry points are for regular budgets: we track it continuously and can pull custom cuts for a story.

Expert commentary

Available for quotes, background, and data pulls on: longevity gear pricing and market trends, what gear is worth buying at each budget tier, sauna and cold plunge buying decisions, wearables and at-home diagnostics comparisons, AI search and commerce content, and transparency in the affiliate review industry. We do not give medical advice and will decline questions that call for it: gear, pricing, and market structure only.
