What Is Biological Age Testing?

Have you ever wondered if your body's true (biological) age matches the number of candles on your birthday cake (chronological age)? While we all age chronologically at the same rate, our biological age — how our bodies are actually aging on a cellular level — varies based on our lifestyle choices, genetics and other unique factors. Biological Age Testing through GlycanAge helps us learn what is happening in the deepest levels of your body and will transform how you approach your health and longevity.

Our Biological Age Testing uses cutting-edge glycan analysis, a scientific breakthrough that measures chronic inflammation in your system to determine how your body is truly aging. This innovative test examines glycans, complex sugar structures attached to proteins in your body, which respond to your lifestyle choices and act as powerful biomarkers of aging and overall health. By analyzing these molecular patterns, we gain invaluable insights into your cellular health beyond what conventional medical tests can reveal.

The Benefits of Biological Age Testing

The insights gained from this testing are transformative. Our patients consistently report:

  • Greater understanding of how lifestyle factors affect their health at the cellular level
  • Increased motivation to maintain positive habits that are proven to be working
  • Clarity on which areas of their health and wellness require specific attention
  • Renewed determination when presented with opportunities for improvement
  • Empowerment through knowledge about their unique biological profile, sometimes surprised to learn excessiveness (in healthy habits and lifestyle choices) resulted in a negative impact
  • Validation of their wellness investments through measurable, scientific data

This testing serves as one of the cornerstones of our BioSculpt™ by BelleSante programs, providing objective measurements that help guide our recommendations and allow us to track your progress. It's truly the foundation of our commitment to optimal health and well-being and “HealthSpan Optimization.”

Your Biological Age Testing Experience at BioSculpt™ by BelleSante

Your journey begins with an initial meeting, where our BioSculpt™ experts will review your health history, evaluate your lifestyle and discuss your individual wellness goals to provide context for your upcoming  Biological Age testing and review of results. We take time to understand not just your health concerns but also your personal aspirations for longevity and vitality.

The test requires only four drops of blood from a simple finger prick. Your sample is then analyzed in a laboratory. Within three weeks, you'll receive your results and a consultation with our experts at BioSculpt™ by BelleSante will be scheduled to discuss your findings. We'll help you understand what your biological age means and make recommendations tailored specifically to you.

Unlike standard medical tests that only measure disease markers, our Biological Age Testing evaluates your overall biological wellness. It doesn't simply tell you what's wrong — it reveals how efficiently your entire system is functioning. Your results provide a comprehensive snapshot of how your lifestyle choices have impacted your aging process so far, empowering you to make informed decisions that could potentially add healthy, vibrant years to your life.

Understanding Your Biological Age Test Results

After receiving your results, you'll meet with our experts, who will interpret your findings and develop a HealthSpan Optimization strategy designed just for you, which includes:

  • Comprehensive explanation of your biological age compared to your chronological age
  • Detailed analysis of factors potentially contributing to your current status
  • Personalized recommendations based on your unique biological profile
  • Integration of your results into a comprehensive BioSculpt™ Wellness and/or BioSculpt™ Fitness program
  • Development of your “Personalized Prescribed Fitness & Wellness" protocols

Over the following months, you'll likely experience improvements in various aspects of your health even before retesting if you are following the BioSculpt™ Playbook. We recommend retesting approximately six months after beginning your HealthSpan Optimization journey to validate your progress. With its objective measurement capabilities, Biological Age Testing provides the science-backed accountability and validation many need to pursue their longevity goals with purpose.
