Old Lady
Youth Lab
Old Lady Youth Lab. Living Beautifully, Aging Fearlessly. The six of the household together with Herbert the cat in the Gramercy drawing room.

Exploring what makes life better as we get older.

Old Lady Youth Lab is a lifestyle and media company that researches the products, treatments, trends, and promises aimed at women as we get older. We look at what products claim to do, their ingredients, what the research says, what they cost, and whether the hype makes sense. We also hear from real women about their experiences with the products we research. Along the way, we explore beauty, style, books, travel, culture, and the other things that make life interesting as we get older.

Research does not have to be boring, so Blanche, Hazel, the Shops, and the rest of the OLYL world are how we tell the story.

The show

It starts with four episodes.

The story of Blanche and Hazel begins with the Foundation season, four episodes set in one Gramercy townhouse. Watch there first, then explore the rest of the world at your own pace.
