Rein Ridder

I'm Rein Ridder. My background is in communication and design, not in medicine or science, and that is exactly how I approach longevity: as someone who wants to understand what the research says and what it means for everyday life.

For years I have been testing what a healthy, active life looks like in practice: running, weight training, sauna, hot baths and ice baths, and above all building routines that I can actually keep up. Supplements are part of that picture, never the whole of it.

At Purovitalis I write about longevity and healthy ageing the way I would want it explained: clearly, without hype, and with the limits of the evidence on the table. Every article I write is checked against its sources and reviewed by our biochemist, Samo Borko, before it is published.
