Epigenetics of Aging
How fast are you aging?
Performance Medicine™ offers research-backed lifestyle modifications to mitigate aging and measurably reduce the risk of age-related chronic and degenerative diseases based on your biological age. Epigenetics is the modification of gene expression to optimize and enhance health, performance, and longevity.
Our lab uses the latest epigenetics research and technology to create an in-depth analysis of your current biological age based on a few drops of your blood.
Chronological Age vs Biological Age
Chronological Age is simply how many years you have been alive. Biological Age describes how well your body is aging. A body that is aging slower will have better cell function and fewer outward traits of age [wrinkles, vision loss, and susceptibility to age-related diseases] than someone who is aging faster.
Studies have shown that decreasing your biological age by 7 years cuts in half your incidence of age-related diseases.
How does it work?
Our lab looks at Methyl Groups, which is a type of Epigenetic Marker. It’s basically a note pinned to your DNA that changes how your cells read it. When a methyl group has attached to your DNA – it is termed DNA Methylation.
Our enormous database pinpoints which DNA Methylation spots affect Biological Aging. We compare your DNA Methylation patterns against the model average and build an accurate picture of how your body is aging.
Current research shows DNA Methylation is a fundamental process of aging and the most predictive biomarker for all age-related diseases.
TruAge™ PACE features the coveted Dunedin Pace of Aging and Telomeres length reports to create a unique, precise test to determine your pace of aging.TruAge™ PACE is highly sensitive to short-term changes and is built to be a powerful tool for individuals to test the efficacy of interventions respective to their aging rate.
TruAge™ COMPLETE represents a comprehensive picture of your biological aging speed via a suite of reports based on your epigenetic markers.
Your biological age is more accurate at predicting health span and life span than any previous molecular biomarker and can be correlated to almost any health factor such as physical fitness, socioeconomic status, and all inputs from life.
