I am pleased to offer a unique learning experience. This hybrid event will start with a visit to Sparkle Health where you take a BioAge testing by TruDiagnostics. At that time, you will also receive a copy of Dr Hyman's book, “Young Forever” to read before our on-line discussion.

Results of your test results will be emailed to you when available.

From there, you are encouraged to read the book and we will have a Zoom session to discuss the BioAge results in general and interventions to improve biological age. We will also use and discuss relevant information from “Young Forever” which you can apply to your specific results.

Cost of the event includes the testing and book. Upon registering, Sparkle Health will contact you to set up a time to visit for your BioAge test.

What is a BioAge Test?

A BioAge test give you a measure of your biological age vs your chronological age as well as your telomere length.

The TruAge PACE is a biological pace of aging test that focuses on short-term changes in methylation that translate into long-term impacts to health. It acts like a speedometer for aging, where values above 1 are 'accelerated aging' and below 1 are 'slowed aging.'

The primary algorithm offered in PACE is the Dunedin Pace of Aging algorithm (DunedinPACE) - developed over 50 years and trained on longitudinal phenotypic data. Dr. Eileen Crimmons in USC evaluated DunedinPACE, and found it was the most predicative age-related biomarker for health consequences.

WHY Measure Age?

Aging is cellular loss of function. In longevity research, we track molecular markers that have been correlated with that aging process. While your chronological age will always progress at a fixed rate, biological age can show a summary of how a person’s lifestyle choices and behaviors are affecting their body.

We don’t all age in the same way, at the same rate.
