Chronological age ≠ Biological age.

While your chronological age counts the years since birth, your biological age may reflect the true physiological condition of your cells, tissues, and organ systems - and it may be a more accurate predictor of healthspan and disease risk.

There are different methods to test your biological age:
🔬 Measuring cell changes
🧪 Measuring tissue and organ system function
🧬 Measuring whole body changes
🧠 Using data science (which can factor in lifestyle factors and health habits)

Why it matters:
📉 Your biological age may predict how fast your body is ageing
It may impact lifespan and quality of life
🍎 It can provide actionable insight into how your daily habits influence your health and wellness.
🩺 It may help personalise preventative healthcare.

Tracking your biological age offers a data-driven approach to optimising long-term wellbeing - far beyond what the calendar can tell you.

Wellness isn’t a luxury - it’s key to a happy and healthy life. 🧬
The foundation? 4 evidence-based pillars that work together to support longevity, resilience, and daily vitality:

Sleep quality - good quality sleep regulates hormones, repairs cells, and strengthens the immune system.

Nutritional intake - whole foods such as fruits, vegetables and minimally processed protein and wholegrains contain many nutrients which help reduce the risk of certain diseases.

Physical activity - exercise can reduce the risk of cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and cognitive illnesses.

Emotional wellbeing - prioritising this can help you to feel happier and healthier and to cope better with life's challenges.

True health and wellbeing is like a jigsaw puzzle. When these pillars are aligned, the body and mind thrive.

.🧬 Biological age ≠ chronological age.
While your chronological age counts the years since birth, your biological age reflects how well your body is actually functioning on a cellular and systemic level.

It’s influenced by:
• DNA methylation patterns (epigenetic changes)
• Telomere length
• Biomarkers like blood pressure, glucose, inflammation, and organ function

Biological age is shaped by lifestyle - diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and environmental exposures - not just time. A lower biological age is often linked to greater healthspan, reduced disease risk, and slower aging at the cellular level.

Knowing your biological age can help guide personalized interventions for longevity and resilience.

Did you know there's a difference between life expectancy and longevity? 🧬

Life expectancy is the average number of years a person is expected to live based on statistical data, influenced by factors like healthcare, lifestyle, and environment. Longevity, on the other hand, refers to living a longer-than-average life for your population, often due to a combination of genetics and healthy habits.

While we can't change our genes, we can adopt lifestyle choices that promote longevity: balanced nutrition, regular exercise, stress management, and quality sleep. These habits not only add years to your life but also life to your years.

Understanding the distinction between life expectancy and longevity empowers you to make informed decisions for a healthier, longer life.
