What is Your Biological Age?
Did you know that everyone ages uniquely — and that you actually have two ages? Your age is measured in years, but you also have a biological age which can help predict illnesses like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, as well as give insight into what your lifestyle is doing to you.
Biological age testing evaluates your health by looking at how your cells have changed over the years.
Our tissues, organs, and blood have their own specific pace of life that moves at different speeds.
Your biological age can be determined by looking into your body’s biomarkers. From there, we can help you fight stress, decreased energy, aging, body composition changes, decreased energy, depression, loss of libido, and much more.
Why Your Biological Age Matters
Accelerated biological age is the number one risk factor for chronic disease. Knowing and understanding your biological age can lengthen your life and slow aging by:
- Providing a clearer picture of your overall health and wellbeing
- Giving you a comprehensive understanding of how well your body functions
- Predicting a variety of health outcomes such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease
- Giving insight into how your habits and lifestyle are affecting your health
How TruDiagnostic Works
TruDiagnostic performs biological age determination by using a highly advanced and detailed test that uses a patient’s DNA. The results will reflect a combination of your genetics and accumulated lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise.
The lower your biological age, the better — but if it’s high, the information from the test can be used to help you improve your health and point out the changes you need to make in order to reach your health goals.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
We will collect a sample of your blood, which will be sent to the private TruDiagnostic lab. This lab is trusted by epigenetic researchers worldwide and uses premium data security and accuracy. Your blood sample will be assessed and searched for specific points and patterns of DNA methylation locations, especially those related to aging.
An in-depth report will then be made of your biological age. Once this report is received by Dr. Gretzula, he will analyze the data to create your personalized health and wellness plan. This plan will include lifestyle changes that are designed to improve your biological age — or to maintain it if it looks good already.
