We use trackers to improve sleep, apps to manage stress, wearables to move more, but how do you know what's working for you, and where you should focus your energy?
Give new meaning to the phrase 'listen to your body'.
It's time to level up! Technological advancements now allow us to 'listen' for signals in your body called biomarkers.
The characteristics of these biomarkers reveal a lot about how well you are aging.
Research shows that lifestyle and environment can influence biomarkers, and it's never too late to improve. What's more, if you test regularly you can track the impact of your habits over time and use our insights to optimize your wellness regime for healthy aging.
Everyone ages differently. How well you age is determined to some degree by your inherited genetics, but to a far greater extent by your environment and lifestyle, and therefore your habits.
Every body is different, so what works wonders for someone might not have the same impact for you. You lead different lives, in different environments and have different habits.
Cellular Age
Cellular age is calculated using an epigenetic clock that was developed by leading longevity scientists.
Rate of Aging
Your rate of aging is calculated using the DunedinPACE epigenetic clock. This started with a longitudinal study that took place in Dunedin, New Zealand. Scientists from Columbia and Duke University used this study as a foundational element in the clock, which is powered by AI.
Telomere Length
Telomeres shorten with each cell replication and also over your lifetime. Telomere length is an indicator of biological age and cellular senescence.
Insights | Personalized Advice | Tools for Success
DNAage gives you an indication of how well you are aging, and provides a baseline for you to begin your journey.
We also help you to achieve your goals:
