INSIGHT

Glycans Are Cellular Communication Markers

Glycans are complex sugar structures on nearly every cell that mediate multicellular communication and immune function.
Nikolina Lauc explains glycans alter molecule function in real time beyond genetics or epigenetics.

INSIGHT

Glycans Expose Chronic Inflammation

Glycan patterns reveal loss of immune regulation and a background of low-grade inflammation as we age.
Nikolina Lauc links this chronic inflammation to the majority of modern chronic diseases.

INSIGHT

Glycan Tests Are More Precise For Individuals

GlycanAge testing shows much lower measurement error than common epigenetic (DNA methylation) arrays for individuals.
Nikolina Lauc contrasts epigenetic daily variability with glycan stability and precision.

What if you could measure how fast your immune system is ageing—and actually reverse it? In this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with Nikolina Lauc, CEO and co-founder of GlycanAge, to unpack the science behind one of the most accurate biological age tests available today. We explore how lifestyle, hormones, and stress directly impact your biological age—and how you can use cutting-edge science to turn back the clock.
