What to expect in each newsletter.

Each issue will walk you through:
‍

One biomarker, explained in simple terms: ApoB. Ferritin. Cortisol. The terms on a lab report, explained the way a knowledgeable friend would.

Three research nuggets: We read the studies so you don't have to. What the researchers found, what it could mean for you, and what we'd still want to know before getting excited.

One wild card: The human side of health. Sometimes funny, sometimes surprising. Always worth the scroll.

Expert voices: Now and then, a MyHealthspan coach, nurse practitioner, or Dr. Zia Poonja share valuable health insights, learnings from their patients, or something they're excited about.

Why our readers love the Healthspan Edit.

Made by Canadians, for Canadians

MyHealthspan is a Canadian company, and your data stays here, protected by Canadian privacy law. The research we cover is read through a Canadian lens: what it means for you, here.

Evidence first

Every health claim is backed by a published study. If the evidence is thin, we say so. If a finding is preliminary, we'll tell you that, too.

Plain language, always.

Studies can be complex, and health content can get jargon-y. We aim to strip the complexity and give it to you straight, so you know what it means for your life, and what you can do about it.

Editorial, not a sales pitch.

This newsletter exists to inform and inspire Canadians about preventive health. You'll see the occasional mention of what we offer, but we always strive to give you plenty of takeaways and insights.

FAQ: The Healthspan Edit
‍

The newsletter is written for anyone in Canada who wants to understand preventive health better, whether or not they ever get tested with us. If you're the kind of person who follows health influencers, listens to longevity podcasts, or reads the health section and wonders what it means for you, this email is for you. Whether you've had recent blood work and want to understand it better, are exploring private blood testing in Canada and doing your homework, or just want to feel one step ahead on your health, we're writing these newsletters for you.

How often will I hear from you?+

Every other week. We keep our newsletter useful, brief, and focused on actionable health insights.

What is MyHealthspan?+

MyHealthspan helps Canadians understand their health through comprehensive blood testing. A phlebotomist comes to your home anywhere in Canada, or you can walk into a Dynacare lab in Ontario, Quebec, or Manitoba.

A licensed nurse practitioner reviews every result, and a human health coach walks you through your labs and helps you set longevity-focused goals in a one-on-one video call.

What's a biomarker, anyway?+

A biomarker is anything measurable in your body that says something about your health. Cholesterol is one. So are Lp(a), vitamin D, and HbA1c. The newsletter spotlights one per issue, in plain English.

What happens to my email address?+

It stays with us. We never sell your data, your information stays in Canada, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
