How to prepare
No fasting is required for the blood draw. However, avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and significant sleep disruption in the 24 hours before collection, as acute stress and inflammation can influence methylation patterns. Let your practitioner know about any medications and supplements you are taking.
After the test
Discuss your result with your GP or a preventive health practitioner. A biological age that is significantly higher than your chronological age may prompt a broader health review covering lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, sleep, and stress management. Retesting after a sustained period of change can show whether your interventions are having a measurable effect.
Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.
Understanding results
Your result is reported as a biological age estimate. A biological age lower than your chronological age suggests your epigenetic markers reflect slower ageing. A higher biological age indicates accelerated ageing at the cellular level. No single result is definitive. Biological age is one data point among many in your overall health picture. Retesting after lifestyle changes (typically at least six to twelve months apart) can help track your trajectory over time.
