The benefits of getting your biological age tested

In today's pod I chat to Dr Lucija Sironic, MBBS, a UK-trained medical doctor and a researcher in the field of glycobiology.

Having transitioned from practising medicine in a public healthcare system to GlycanAge, a longevity biotech start-up, Lucija pursues the transfer of cutting-edge scientific findings from lab into clinical practice.

At GlycanAge, she works as a Researcher and Product Development Scientist, and is a Lead Consultant working 1-1 with clients and business partners who use the GlycanAge biological age test to optimise healthspan.

We chat about:

The difference between chronological age VS biological age
Why it's beneficial to get your biological age tested.
What glycans are and how they impact your longevity.
How the test is done and what they test for.
The importance of lifestyle choices and how they impact chronological age.
How a biological age test can act as a preventative measure against chronic diseases.
The challenge of finding high quality supplements and the lack of regulation in the industry.
My own GlycanAge test results and what it led me to discover.
How changing hormones can impact your biological age.
The impact of exercise on inflammation.
The future of bilogical age testing and personalised treatment.
