The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast Biological Age vs Chronological Age Test🧬TruDiagnostic TruAge - with Ryan Smith
We all age differently. Some people’s true age (demonstrated by the level of their biological functions) may be 20 years younger than someone else, even though they have the same chronological age. Science has advanced to the point that we can measure how well we are aging - that is, how slowly we are aging, and how “young” or “old” we truly are at any given age… Ryan Smith shares the cutting edge measurement his company TruDiagnostic is utilizing to give people the most accurate reading of our biological age.
The TruAge test can inform you of how well you are aging, and this correlates highly with the possibility of you getting sick or even dying. Learn how TruAge uses DNA methylation patterns to determine numerous parameters of health, how it differs from other biological age tests, and the methods you can utilize to slow down the process of aging.
Ryan Smith is founder of TruDiagnostic. He received a BA in biochemistry from Transylvania University before heading to medical school in 2013. After passing USMLE Step 1, he decided to leave and open up a pharmacy in the United States that focused on peptide synthesis and formulations for pharmaceutical preparations. That pharmacy, Tailor Made Compounding, became the 4th fastest growing company in healthcare in the US and grew to 80 million in revenue within 3 years. Through this pharmacy work, Ryan saw the value of preventative medicine. Many of the physicians Tailor Made served were treating age as a disease and a primary outcome but needed better tools to measure this process. As a result, Ryan exited Tailor Made in 2020 to create TruDiagnostic.
TruDiagnostic is a CLIA certified lab and health data company which specializes in understanding and reporting insights found through Epigenetic methylation data. Since starting in 2020, TruDiagnostic has created the largest private epigenetic database in the world with over 15,000 patients tested on the EPIC850k array. From this dataset, they have created many new algorithms to interpret methylation data including algorithms to predict inflammatory markers, disease diagnosis, telomere length, aging pace, immune cell subsets, cellular replication, and more.
TruDiagnostic has also led research in the field with over 30+ clinical trials investigating the best ways to reverse these markers through diet, lifestyle, and prescription interventions. Currently, TruDiagnostic is working with collaborators from Duke, Harvard, Yale, UCSF, Ohio St. and more to uncover new insights from the methylome. TruDiagnostic is also the only commercial company on the market to offer 2nd or 3rd generation aging algorithms which have shown to be more predictive and precise than 1st generation aging clocks. In addition to his work with pharmaceuticals, Ryan also consults with international pharmacies and has set up pharmacies in Thailand and Mexico. In addition, Ryan has developed novel supplements and cosmetic formulations with multiple 100M supplement brands and consults with clinics in the cash pay wellness space.
