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.
