Jordan Weiss, PhD, is a scientific writer at Assisted Living Magazine, where he leads in-depth research initiatives on aging, healthspan, and evidence-based care practices that impact older adults and caregiving communities. With a strong academic foundation and a passion for understanding how people age optimally, Jordan brings rigorous analytical insight to topics at the intersection of aging science, public health, and long-term care innovation. He has contributed to pieces in the Daily Mail, GQ, The Healthly (Reader’s Digest), Men’s Journal, Tom’s Guide, the NY Times, and other publications.

Jordan is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Precision Medicine and Optimal Aging Institute at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and former Research Scientist at the Stanford Center on Longevity. His research addresses a critical question: why do some people stay healthy as they age while others don’t? His work focuses on the gap between lifespan and healthspan, identifying the social, behavioral, and clinical factors that shape long-term health trajectories and translating population-level evidence into insights that inform better prevention and care.
