How Does Biological Age Testing Work?

At the Salerno Wellness Center, we use cutting-edge diagnostic techniques to measure key biomarkers that reveal your biological age. These biomarkers include:

• DNA Methylation: A key indicator of how your cells age, linked to epigenetic changes.
• Telomere Length: Telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of your DNA, shorten with age, and their length can provide a measure of cellular aging.
• Oxidative Stress Levels: High levels of oxidative stress can accelerate aging by damaging cells and tissues.
• Metabolic Health Indicators: Blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and inflammation markers are examined to assess metabolic efficiency.

The process begins with a consultation where we discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and health goals. After collecting samples such as saliva, blood, or urine, our team conducts a detailed analysis using advanced lab technology. Within 1–2 weeks, you’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing your biological age and personalized recommendations to optimize your health.

Conditions Biological Age Testing Can Help With

Biological Age Testing can benefit individuals dealing with:

• Chronic fatigue and low energy
• Premature aging symptoms such as wrinkles or hair loss
• Hormonal imbalances impacting quality of life
• Cardiovascular health concerns, including high blood pressure
• Weight management challenges or slow metabolism
• Stress-related conditions that accelerate aging

This testing is also ideal for individuals seeking to optimize their health before or during anti-aging therapies.
