WHAT IT MEANS

DNA is essentially a recipe book for every cell and protein

in your body. And a Gene is a tiny segment of DNA that ​explains a specific step in a larger recipe. Together, groups

of genes work together to describe how a cell should be ​built, how proteins should be folded, and much more.

When a Gene is ON, being read and followed, that means

it’s being expressed. Many genes can have degrees of

expression, like a dimmer switch slowly turning up a light’s

brightness, instead of just an on/off switch.

For instance, if a certain gene that controls how much fat

your body stores is only expressing halfway, then your body

will store fat less often - but if that same gene is turned on

all the way, your body will try to store a lot of fat! (There’s

several different genes that work together to control your

metabolism and fat deposits, this is just an example)

Epigenetics is the broad term for all the ways our body can

add notes in the margins of our DNA recipe book, changing

how our genes are expressed, without changing the DNA

itself. Epigenetic Markers act like sticky notes, changing how

each step of the recipe is read.

Our lab looks at the Methylation on genes ​related to aging, checks how much they’re ​being expressed, and with that we can find ​your Biological Age

WHY IT MATTERS

BIOLOGICAL AGE IS THE #1 PREDICTOR ​OF NEARLY ALL AGE-RELATED DISEASES.

TruAge™ is an epigenetic test that starts with an at-home blood ​collection kit. Once your sample is sent back to our lab, we ​analyze patterns of DNA Methylation to identify your ​Biological Age.

But what does that mean, and why does it matter?

A Methyl is a little molecule. A clump of them, called a Methyl

Group, can stick onto our DNA, changing how the gene in that

spot is expressed. Sometimes they turn a gene on or off

entirely, and sometimes they just turn the brightness up or

down a little bit. That process is called DNA Methylation.

So, DNA Methylation is a type of Epigenetic marker, which

changes which genes are being expressed, and how much

they’re being expressed. DNA Methylation happens in

response to daily habits like diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and

much much more.

About 40% of your DNA Methylation happens in response to

the natural progression of time, or during key developmental

stages in your gestation and childhood. However, that means

the other 60% is Changeable - you can control it with your choices!

Despite the name, Biological Age doesn’t look at how many ​candles are on your birthday cake. It’s not your age, it’s your ​body’s aging at a cellular level.

Cellular aging is the progress of cells dying or forgetting

how to function. An easy example of this is skin wrinkles - ​skin cells lose their flexibility, and don’t recover from damage ​as quickly, so when the skin creases it begins to hold those ​creases instead of bouncing back.

Many diseases occur at higher rates when you get older, ​because more and more of your cells aren’t functioning the ​way they should. The genes that should control that type of ​cell aren’t expressing like they used to.

A higher Biological Age is correlated with a higher risk of ​developing age-related diseases (like Alzheimer’s Disease ​and Cancers). A lower Biological Age is correlated with ​reduced risk of disease and a longer lifespan.

YOU CAN SLOW DOWN YOUR AGING.

Although epigenetic changes can be passed on over 3 ​generations, you can still control most of your Biological ​Aging through your choices.

You can reduce your risk of developing age-related diseases. ​And you can actually see the Methylation patterns change in ​response to your lifestyle.

Biological Age is a great way to track how well interventions ​are working to extend lifespan and improve overall health. ​Biological Age can also be used to check your current level

of disease risk.

Blood sugar can reveal a risk for Diabetes. Blood pressure ​can reveal a risk for Heart Attack. But Biological Age ​evaluates your risk for nearly every age-related disease

in one easy metric.
