Live As Healthy As Possible For As Long As Possible…

I’m Ricardo Vasquez, founder of Youthful Aging Secrets, a podcast and newsletter for people who want to live better and longer… and make sense of the overwhelming health noise.

But I didn’t start this as a brand. I started it after the hardest moment of my life.

It Started With My Father’s Death

In 2023, I lost my dad to complications from Parkinson’s.
He was strong. Disciplined. Health-conscious. He did “all the right things.”
And yet, somehow… he still got sick. He still died early.

I was heartbroken. But underneath that grief? I was angry.

Angry at the misinformation.
Angry at the pseudoscience that accelerated his decline.
Angry at myself for not knowing how to help him.

So I made a vow — never again to be blindly led by fads, trends, or untested ideas… and to help others do the same.

What I Believe

I believe in being open-minded but skeptical.
I believe you deserve real answers, not hype or fear-mongering.
And I believe your health is too important to leave in the hands of charlatans or corporations with hidden agendas.

That’s why I created Youthful Aging Secrets —
To uncover the truth about what helps you live better, longer
…without selling your soul (or your wallet) to snake oil.

What I Do Today

🎙️ I host the Youthful Aging Secrets Podcast, interviewing leading researchers, superagers, and experts who walk the talk.
📰 I publish a free weekly newsletter packed with science-backed health tips, longevity insights, and zero fluff.
🧪 I experiment on myself: a martial artist, father, athlete, and human guinea pig — so I can share what works, what doesn’t, and what’s bullshit.

This isn’t theory. This is about helping you feel better, age more slowly, and take control.

Who’s It For?

You care deeply about your health — maybe more than anyone around you.
But lately… It’s felt like a maze.

There’s so much conflicting advice out there, it’s exhausting.
You’re tired of guessing. Tired of fads. Tired of wasting time on strategies that don’t work.

You want real answers.
You want to know what works, without having to get a PhD to figure it out.
You want to feel strong, sharp, energized — and stay that way for decades to come.

If that’s you?
You're not alone. You’re exactly who this was made for.

Why Listen To Me?

I’m not a doctor.
I’m not a guru.
But I am obsessed with finding the truth. And I interview the people who know it best.

I do the research, ask the hard questions, and translate it into simple habits and actions you can use right now.

And I do it all with one question in mind:

Would I share this with someone I love?
