Measure
Utilizing advanced biological research and machine learning, BioAge™ is testing combinations of almost 50 biomarkers. Among these, the 9 specific markers show the highest probability of predicting lifespan and health risks.
Understand
BioAge™ provides insight into your biological aging and an indication of health risks and the risk of premature death by measuring markers that reflect the status of: brain, heart, metabolism, immune system, inflammation, kidney, liver, hormones, and blood.
Improve
Based on the results, we follow up with evidence-based recommendations and protocols to optimize both the length and quality of your life. You can also speak directly with our doctors through consultation.

When biological age was tested independently, researchers could predict with 90% accuracy who had the highest likelihood of surviving in the next 10 years. Without knowing more about the person, this type of test can not only estimate biological age but also reveal changes in individual biomarkers associated with the most common age-related diseases.
Chronological age, the more familiar concept, represents the passage of time as we celebrate each birthday, advancing by one year. In contrast, biological age signifies the extent of age-related changes that occur within the body. It assesses the degree of aging based on physiological factors, reflecting how well or poorly the body has aged.
Understanding one's biological age is significant as it allows for a comparison with one's chronological age. This comparison offers valuable insights into whether the body is aging at an accelerated pace or maintaining a more youthful state. Identifying this difference at an early stage provides an opportunity to take preventive measures against age-related decline.
If your biological age is higher than your chronological age, it could indicate that your body is aging faster than it should be for your age.
We have gathered a few actions you can take to improve your biological age:
Get a comprehensive health assessment
By assessing your overall health, you can get a better understanding of your health status, setting a roadmap for improvements and identify potential underlying health conditions. One way to start your journey is by taking our CheckUp™.
Exercise regularly
Exercise is probably the most effective medicine on planet earth! Through exercise, you help maintain a healthy weight, you can reduce stress, you can improve your cardiovascular health and you can improve your sleep.
Eat a healthy diet
A healthy diet that includes plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats can help slow down your aging process by improving your overall health.
Reduce stress
Chronic stress has the ability to accelerate the aging process. By reducing your everyday stress through techniques such as relaxation exercises, yoga or meditation you may slow down your aging.
Get enough sleep
Your body will not function properly, nor be able to repair and regenerate without sufficient amount of sleep. Aim at 7-9 hours of good sleep per night.
Avoid unhealthy habits
Avoid harmful habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
