Matt Kaeberlein's podcast episode
“Epigenetic age came back 6 years higher, then 7 years lower than chronological age.”
Story of claim
Matt observes significant fluctuations in epigenetic age test results over time, questioning their reliability.
- Goal: To examine the fluctuations in epigenetic age test results over time.
- Proof: Age results fluctuated dramatically, suggesting instability in test metrics.
- Nuances:
- Results from December 2022 to November 2023 showed wild variation.
- Reversed aging suggested 15.8 times normal chronological time.
- Impact on Life: Such fluctuations can lead to confusion and misinterpretation of aging status.
Investments
- Price: $100-500 for test kits
- Time: Depends on test frequency and provider
- Effort: Minimal, but requires ongoing monitoring and interpretation
Risks
Fluctuating results may lead to misguided health decisions.
Alternatives
- Track health through consistent biomarkers
- Use lifestyle changes for stable health monitoring
Get Started 🚀
- Monitor epigenetic age over time for patterns.
- Consider fluctuations when interpreting results.
