Traditional healthcare treats symptoms of disease as they arise. Of course, preventative measures like a healthy diet and regular exercise are recommended, but it can be difficult to know what your body may need to stay healthy as you age.
GlycanAge biological testing in Seattle offers personalized, real-time health metrics to guide anti-aging interventions well before symptoms arise, allowing clients to age with wellness. Our team is dedicated to providing longevity medicine that is evidence-based and clinically proven to improve health outcomes for our community.

What Is GlycanAge?
GlycanAge is a leader in Glycan-based biological age analysis in Seattle. It is the first technology to analyze glycan age, disease, mortality risk, and intervention responsiveness within one comprehensive system.
This advanced diagnostic test determines your biological age by analyzing chronic low-grade inflammation in the body, which is a key factor in the aging process. From there, clinicians can measure the rate at which your body is aging, rather than just your chronological age. We can then use this information to guide personalized health and anti-aging interventions and determine their effectiveness.
How Does GlycanAge Testing Work?
A Seattle patient’s GlycanAge biological testing will begin with an initial consultation at our office. Once we get a sense of your medical history, current state of health, and treatment goals, we will collect a blood sample that we will send to the lab for glycoanalytical testing.
In the lab, antibodies will be extracted from your blood, and the specific sugar molecules attached to them will be analyzed. As you age or experience chronic stress, the balance of these inflammatory markers shifts. A specialized algorithm will then process your glycan profile to estimate your biological age and overall chronic inflammation levels.
Benefits of GlycanAge Testing
At PHASE plastic surgery, Dr. Richard Baxter trusts GlycanAge biological testing as the way forward for longevity medicine in Seattle. This biomarker testing leads to personalized, evidence-based interventions that offer enhanced results compared to generic anti-aging methods. This biological age system can provide early warning signs for underlying health risks, highlight actionable areas for improvement, provide personalized health insights, and track interventions to determine effectiveness.
GlycanAge Vs. Other Biological Tests
GlycanAge stands out from other biological testing in Seattle for its timeline, accuracy, and effectiveness. Unlike traditional DNA tests, GlycanAge testing is highly responsive to short-term lifestyle alterations such as diet, exercise, and medication changes. IgG Glycans turn over in just 3 weeks, making it ideal for reflecting how your current lifestyle is impacting the body, and also for tracking the effectiveness of interventions in real time.
Based on available data, Glycan can detect biological alterations up to 10 years before symptoms of age-related diseases, offering a crucial window for early intervention and disease prevention. Because of this unique opportunity to guide evidence-based interventions, Dr. Baxter strongly believes in Glycan as the way forward for the science and practice of longevity medicine.
