Biological Test
XBody Health, Wellness & Spa
Knowing the age of your organs might one day help you prevent and treat disease. In theory, if you knew that your heart was aging too fast, you could take steps to ward off heart disease.
Recent studies show that many of us are walking around with at least one organ aging much more quickly than the others, and that older organs can indicate a greater chance of developing diseases. An older heart, for instance, was linked to a higher chance of heart failure among generally healthy people. And older arteries and brains were associated with a higher risk of developing cognitive impairment.
Biological age tests, which various companies sell for several hundred dollars, work by measuring chemical changes in our DNA. Those tests generally give users a single number estimating their body’s biological age or rate of aging.
To find this we used blood samples to measure the levels of those proteins, which change with age.
This Biological test can find someone’s chronological age and the ages of their organs. This advanced testing will lead patients to be able to tell through a blood test which organs are aging faster and start treatment years before chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s, diabetes or hypertension
Stay Ahead of Health Issues by Understanding Your Organ Age
Have you ever wondered how old your organs really are? While we all know our chronological age, many of us don’t realize that our organs can age at different rates. Recent studies have shown that some organs may be aging faster than others, potentially increasing the risk of developing chronic diseases.
Understanding Our Cutting-Edge Tests
At XBody Health Wellness and Spa, we recommend testing every three months to track the impact of your health efforts. Our advanced testing methods provide you with the tools to measure your biological age, assess the age of your organs, and take proactive steps to optimize your health.
What is Organ Age?
Organ age is a measure of how well your organs are functioning, independent of your chronological age. For instance, a 50-year-old might have a 53-year-old heart, a 51-year-old pancreas, and a 49-year-old brain. This concept is becoming more relevant as researchers discover that certain organs age faster than others, and this imbalance can be linked to an increased risk of disease.
By understanding your organ age, you can take proactive steps to prevent or manage diseases like heart failure, dementia, and more. For example, if your heart is aging more quickly, you could focus on lifestyle changes to maintain cardiovascular health.
What Is Your True Age?
Your chronological age is simply the number of years you’ve been alive. But your biological age reflects how old your cells and tissues really are, influenced by factors like lifestyle, genetics, and the environment. While some people’s chronological and biological ages align, others may age faster or slower than expected.
The Epigenetic Clock & Biological Age Testing
Traditional methods of predicting biological age, like measuring telomere length, have been around for some time. However, newer methods, such as the epigenetic clock, offer even greater accuracy. This clock is currently the most reliable predictor of age and longevity. With a Biological Age Test, you can track longevity markers, measure your rate of aging, and take proactive steps to stay ahead of age-related decline. Understanding the biological age of your organs may even help prevent or treat diseases. For instance, if testing reveals that your heart is aging too quickly, early intervention could reduce your risk of heart disease.
Cutting-Edge Testing for Early Detection
Advanced biological age testing can determine both your chronological age and the individual ages of your organs. A simple blood test can identify which organs are aging at an accelerated rate—allowing for early treatment before chronic conditions like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, or hypertension develop.
DunedinPACE: Measure Your Rate of Aging
Your rate of aging reveals how quickly your body is aging over time, offering critical insights into your long-term health. By tracking changes in your aging rate, you can assess the impact of lifestyle choices and interventions. With just a finger-prick test, you can gain personalized insights into:
- Organ Age: Understanding how your key organs are aging, including your heart, brain, liver, and lungs.
- Metabolic Function: Learn how well your metabolism is functioning and how it may affect your overall health.
- Immune Support: Assess how well your immune system is supporting your health.
- Oxidative Defense & Inflammation: Monitor how your body is handling oxidative stress and inflammation.
