We are the audit layer for the longevity industry.
Novostead exists to solve one problem: The gap between "health hype" and "health reality." We build tools, data, and standards to help you navigate the $10k+ decisions that define modern preventive medicine--without the conflict of interest.
Why We Exist
Preventive medicine is the future. The buying experience is stuck in the past.
We believe that early diagnostics (like full-body MRI, advanced bloodwork, and functional analysis) are critical tools for a longer, healthier life.
But the industry selling these tools is currently a "Wild West" of:
Opaque Pricing: "Call us to find out" is the industry standard.
Data Silos: Patients are treated as renters of their own health data, not owners.
Pseudoscientific Upsells: Proven interventions are bundled with high-margin, unproven "add-ons."
We realized that patients didn't need another "guru" telling them what to do. They needed an auditor. They needed someone to check the math, verify the claims, and force transparency before the credit card is swiped.
That is why we built Novostead.
Our Core Principles
The "Constitution" of Novostead
1. Transparency is Non-Negotiable.
We believe you should know the price before the consultation. We believe you should own your raw data (PDF/CSV) by default. We do not list clinics as "Verified" if they hide these basics.
2. Evidence Over "Vibes."
We separate Standard of Care (proven) from Investigational (promising but unproven) from Hype (nonsense). We don't tell you what to do, but we ensure you know which bucket you are buying from.
3. Independence.
We are not a clinic. We do not manufacture supplements. We do not sell prescriptions. Our only product is clarity.
Our Editorial Firewall
Trust is our only currency. Here is how we protect it:
We sell Intelligence, not Influence.
Our primary revenue comes from Concierge Services and Vetting Kits sold directly to users. You pay us to work for you, not the clinic.
Verification cannot be bought.
A clinic cannot pay us to remove a "Red Flag" or improve their Transparency Score.
Clear Labeling.
If we ever feature a partner or include an affiliate link (e.g., for a diagnostic tool), it will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Partner." These relationships never influence our verification criteria.
Who is behind Novostead?
