The concept of measuring the difference between chronologic and biologic aging is a new phenomenon. First it was telomere length, but that hasn’t proven to be accurate. Many new metrics have since followed. Few have panned out to be accurate as we dive deeper. Often in science its not the obvious or sexy stuff that has real meaning. It’s usually the things right under our nose that have been around for decades, and thus, often ignored. What if the targets to accurately measure biologic aging are already in our hands? Today we will discuss a new program that is offered to laypeople that unlocks the target markers of biologic aging. Understanding these will help provide accurate data-points to assess if what you are doing is actually working. We will also explain how you can become certified yourself.

SHR # 2480 :: Continuing Education Series: Hitting The Right Targets of Biologic Aging
Show Notes:
[3;15] Chronological age vs. biological age.
[9:28] Your normal physical bloodwork contains a large amount of valuable information that gets overlooked.
- There are algorithms that can predict which value is a good indicator of your healthspan.
- Albumin values are underrated.
- Take a couple of days off of training before getting bloodwork done.
- Bloods should be tested in a fasted state.
[17:50] C-reactive protein.
- The optimal value should be less than 1.
[19:01] red blood cell distribution and width.
[22:15] Alkaline phosphatase.
- Methylation deficits correlate with higher alkaline phosphatase levels.
[23:17] White blood cell count.
- Neutrophil: lymphocyte ratio is important.
[26:50] Does chronological age make a large difference?
[35:20] the first human optimization summit.
- You will spend the day in Boulder, CO.
- You will gain an education and deep dive on how to read blood work results.
[43:08] clinicians can also learn from this experience.
