Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/trupodcast
In this fascinating episode with repeat guest Dr. Matt Dawson, you’ll discover how epigenetic testing analyzes DNA methylation (chemical tags that control how your genes behave) to reveal how fast you’re biologically aging, what’s driving your health, and your risk for disease. You’ll also explore how these signals can detect diseases like cancer earlier than traditional labs, and how TruDiagnostic built the TruHealth Test by analyzing ~1,000 biomarkers to pinpoint the most meaningful indicators of health and disease.
You’ll also get a clear breakdown of their TruAge Test, covering your biological age, how quickly you’re aging (pace of aging), and how different organs are aging, along with insights from my own results and what they reveal about my overall health. We also discuss how AI and large language models (LLMs) are being used to identify which interventions actually improve specific biomarkers, and what truly moves the needle for longevity, from caloric restriction and GLP-1 drugs to the often-overlooked impact of relationships, stress, and recovery.
