The Dr. Hyman Show
Reverse Aging Now: The Latest Longevity Breakthroughs | Dr. Eric Verdin

there there is a need a crying need for what we call surrogate markers markers that would be able to predict you know how well are you aging and when we talk about biological aging or biological age this is in contrast to chronological age so just for your audience you you can be 40 years old but you your body can be behaving more like the body of a typical 30 year old or like the body of a typical 50 year old that would be your biological age

And by the way, we are also able to generate an estimate of biological age. If you've met someone who's 70 years old and you think that person looks younger, you have defined in your own head that this person is biologically younger. And this, by the way, these are true statistics. variables.

There are actually algorithms that will predict your age simply based on facial recognition, just like we do. And so there's been a lot of interest in the field of generating more precise and more predictive biomarkers of biological age. The reason being not just to be able to tell you where you are on your trajectory, but also to assess the efficacy of our interventions.

And you just described your end of one, which is critical, which is, okay, you start a whole series of interventions. How do you know you're actually helping yourself versus hurting yourself? And so this is where these clocks are coming into play. Now, we are right at the beginning of a whole field. So I did the same thing as you did. True Diagnostic, I don't have any affiliation with them.

We collaborate with them. I think they are the best company right now in terms of providing a large number of assays. And I say large numbers, I think, is key. There are right now, there's a proliferation of these clocks. Many of them are epigenetic clocks. They're measuring methylation in DNA. The reason is not that these clocks are better than others.

It's just that historically, they were the first one. This is work pioneered by Steve Horvat and his colleagues. So I did the same thing as you did. I measured all my clocks. I'm 67 years old, and my clocks came between 25 and 67. And of course, I look at the 25-year-old clock and I say, that's a really good clock. That's good.

And that's glycan age for whatever reason. Yeah. But the other clocks, frankly, varied between 42 and 67. So the question is, how do we sort through this? And
