In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Stephen Sideroff, PhD is joined by Ryan Smith, founder of True Diagnostics delve into a discussion of the intricate world of epigenetic clocks.
Will the secrets to slowing biological aging be revealed through your genetic code? Our special guest, Ryan Smith, co-founder of Tailor-Made Compounding and founder of True Diagnostics, believes it might be possible. As we delve into the intricate world of epigenetic clocks, Ryan’s vast knowledge in biochemistry and the healthcare industry shines through, offering a new perspective on aging, longevity, and disease prevention.

Imagine having the ability to predict your risk of multiple diseases based on the measurements of your DNA methylation and inflammatory markers. From Ryan, we learn how the evolution of first, second, and third generation epigenetic clocks have made this a reality. He also introduces us to the Dunedin Pace algorithm – a powerful tool that not only tracks the rate of biological aging, but also predicts disease risks and life expectancy.
But what if we could alter our biological age? We discuss this intriguing possibility as we explore various interventions, from caloric restriction to vitamin D and rapamycin, that might have the potential to do just that. Ryan elaborates on the advances in epigenetic methylation testing, which might even provide insights into our lifestyle habits. Intrigued? We sure were. Don’t miss out on this captivating conversation as we navigate the fascinating world of epigenetic clocks and their potential to redefine our understanding of longevity and health.
