What does an epigenetic age test measure?
Chemical tags on your DNA, called methylation, that change with age. An algorithm uses them to estimate biological age.
• Staying ahead of it / Biological age
Biological age
Your birth certificate gives one age. Epigenetic testing estimates another, based on patterns in your DNA.
It is interesting and trackable. It also has real limits, and we are upfront about them.
Epigenetic age tests are not validated to guide individual clinical decisions. We use them as a trackable marker over time, not as a diagnosis, and no treatment here is prescribed on the basis of one.
What this can be
What the test is, and isn't.
What it measures
DNA methylation, chemical tags that shift with age.
What it estimates
A biological age compared with your calendar age.
What it isn't
A diagnosis, or a basis for prescribing treatment.
How it's useful
As one trend line, tracked over time.
What we measure
How we track it.
Epigenetic age, annually
Repeated on the same test so results are comparable.
Alongside validated markers
A1c, fasting insulin, lipids, thyroid and hormones.
Body composition
Muscle and fat on the InBody 970.
What happens next
Options, depending on what we find.
Clinical decisions are made from validated tests and how you feel. Epigenetic age is reviewed as context over time.

Common questions.
Can it guide my treatment?
No. Epigenetic age tests are not validated to guide individual clinical decisions. No treatment here is prescribed on the basis of one.
Then why test?
As a trackable marker over time, alongside measurements that are validated, such as A1c, lipids and body composition.
Is it included in membership?
Yes, it is included annually in Core membership.
Is it a diagnosis?
No. We use it as a marker to track, not as a diagnosis.
