You may already be dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle that includes proper nutrition, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. However, your chronological age does not always reflect what is happening inside your body. Biological age testing gives you an in-depth look at what is happening inside your body and how your body is really aging. It is an important tool for making informed decisions about your overall health and wellness. If you are looking to extend your health span, knowing when to take this test is important. At PHASE Plastic Surgery & Longevity, we believe longevity medicine should be grounded in science. Knowing your biological age and regularly testing it will help you assess the effectiveness of your overall wellness and health strategies.
What Is Biological Age Testing?
Biological age measurement is a series of tests that evaluate markers in your body that indicate you are aging. Biological age is like the odometer on your car, which shows the miles but not the years. These tests are done to evaluate your epigenetic markers, inflammation levels, and other biological markers. These tests are very different from other tests used to evaluate your health and wellness. While other tests are used to evaluate your illness and diagnose your condition, biological age testing is used to assess your wellness and identify preventive measures.
How Often Should You Test Your Biological Age?
The frequency of your testing will depend on your goals and your overall wellness and health strategies.
Common testing timelines may include:
- Baseline testing: This establishes a baseline before the start of longevity-focused therapies
- Follow-up testing every six to twelve months: This helps to assess your body’s response to the therapies or changes you have made
- Additional testing following major health changes: This is especially useful if you are introducing new therapies or have made major changes to your wellness strategy
Since there are many various factors that can impact biological aging, this can be incredibly insightful.
How Does Biological Age Testing Support Longevity Medicine?
Longevity medicine is all about personalization and prevention. This type of testing provides the data needed to provide you with recommendations so you can choose therapies intentionally.
At PHASE Plastic Surgery & Longevity, our therapies are based on science to promote long-term health. One such advanced therapy that we offer is therapeutic plasma exchange. This is an advanced treatment that few clinics nationwide offer. It is the only interventional treatment proven in a prospective randomized clinical trial to reverse epigenetic signs of biological age. TPE is a specific type of plasmapheresis (PLEX), which separates the plasma where toxins accumulate, and then replaces it with a fresh protein solution.
Using biological age testing along with science-based therapies can help you understand your health more effectively while also providing you with the tools you need to stay healthy for years to come.
