Your Birth Certificate says you’re 35 but how old does your DNA say you are??
How great would it be to be able to see how fast (or slowly) your body is aging? Or to measure the impact of all those anti aging supplements, your regular meditation practice and that new diet you adopted 3 months ago?? It turns out that there are now companies that can give you that insight with just a few drops of your saliva…Chronomics is one of those companies – my guest today is Daniel E. Martin Herranz the Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder of Chronomics and we talk about the science of epigenetic aging, what we know and don’t know and how people are using this test to quantify the benefits (or downsides) of how they live their life.
