Longevity Testing

know your numbers.

You may be younger or older than what you think you are.

We have a chronological age which is how many years you have been here on Earth - and we also have a biological age which is how fast are your cells and organs actually aging. Biomarkers are measurable indicators that can help reflect biological age by revealing the state of the body and whether your systems and organs are in optimal, normal or diseased state.

You can affect your biomarkers and biological age for the better using certain protocols like the above mentioned how to eat, sleep and exercise.

Moreover, tracking biomarkers is a useful way to see if your rituals and practices are even working. These days we are are not suffering from a lack of information when it comes to health and wellness - in fact, there is too much and often contradictory information. Do the honey bee lemons from the top of Mount Everest you heard on a podcast last week actually benefit lung capacity? There are so many random claims and rush to trendy topics that may not actually make a difference - in a sea of snake oil and arbitrary opinion you can use biomarkers to know what is actual truth for you.

Below are a suite of biomarkers and tests I have used to track my progress slowing my aging. 

daily readings I take upon waking:

weekly readings:

  • BMI: 20.6 (goal is to be 18.5 to 22.5)

monthly readings:

  • My cycle (an app): goal is on time every month

yearly:

  • AMH:
    -    Nov 2020: 4.25

    -Jan 2022: 3.78

    -Aug 2024: 2.71

    -Feb 2025: 3.74 (I effectively raised my AMH in 6 months on ritual)

Quarterly Readings:

  • Speed of aging: .88 (using Horvath clock, not all speed of aging tests are the same btw)

  • Clinical markers (Blood test): 10 biomarkers out of range, 2 borderline, 73 in range

  • Grip strength: 117 lbs

    (grip strength tester)

  • Vo2 max: 46.3

  • RMR (Dexa scan): 1,568 calories

  • Total Mass (Dexa scan): 152.4

  • Fat Tissue (Dexa scan): 23.1

  • Lean mass (Dexa scan): 122.1

  • Bone mineral content (Dexa scan): 7.1

  • Total Body Fat Percent (Dexa scan): 15.2%

  • NAD: not optimal

    (NAD Test, use code: SlowAgingGuide)

  • Inflammation (Blood test): In optimal range

  • Microplastics: “very high”

  • Microbiome

  • AGEs (advance glycation end products): 1.2
