I would not put much trust into some poorly-understood biomarkers, especially ones that have grandiose naming like epigenetic age. The naming alone implies more than I suspect these markers can deliver.
The price is also kinda ridiculous, $70 a day for meals and supplements.
- jandrese 4y agoHoly crap that's over $2,100/month! Over $25,500/year. Even discounting the regular food you are not eating this is crazy.
- googlryas 4y agoWell, the guy sold his company for $800M. It's pocket change to him.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoEspecially when an example of a biomarker is ability to hear out of the left ear. Yes, fixing that (if you could) could improve your quality of life, but unless there's a train coming from the left side, it won't make you live longer. Those tests also seem ripe for the nocebo effect. All this testing and measuring seems a coping mechanism for trying to find and control some sort of objective measures in squishy, uncertain, biology.
- fabian2k 4y agoAs far as I understood the epigenetic age this refers to are a bunch of DNA methylation tests. All the other tests are in addition to this.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoAh, that makes more sense, though it still looks like someone with anxiety around the uncontrollable to me.
