Is This The Most Advanced Anti-Aging Analysis & Epigenetic Diagnostic Test Of The Future?

Aug 20, 2020
In this engaging discussion, Ryan Smith from TruDiagnostic, a pioneer in biological age testing, joins Dr. Daniel L. Stickler, an expert in functional medicine. They dissect the fascinating differences between biological and chronological age and explore the revolutionary advancements in epigenetic testing. Topics include the complexities of DNA methylation, the role of telomeres in aging, and how lifestyle choices impact our biological clock. There's also a dive into how these insights can transform health monitoring and anti-aging strategies for everyone.

INSIGHT

Biological vs. Chronological Age

  • Chronological age is an arbitrary number representing years since birth.
  • Biological age reflects cellular aging, which can accelerate, decelerate, or even reverse.
INSIGHT

Telomere Testing Relevance

  • Telomere testing's relevance is uncertain: does telomere length cause aging or is it just an indicator of aging?
  • Experts like Dr. Stickler and Ryan Smith agree more research is needed.

Stem Cell Telomeres

  • Stem cell telomere length may be a key factor underlying methylation biology and aging.
  • Current telomere tests extrapolate from white blood cells, not directly from stem cells.
