It's not about aging - it's about how well you're aging

News from Dr. Marsha
H.E.A.L. Medical now offers  TeloYearsTM
TeloYearsTM is a simple DNA test that reveals your "cellular" age, so you can know how  well  you are aging. Knowing how old you are is more than just counting how many birthdays have passed. The  TeloYears genetic test reveals your "cellular" age so you can discover how well you're aging at the level of your own DNA. And because telomere length changes over time, we can now use your TeloYears results to set a baseline and make adjustments to your anti-aging regimen and track your progress through retesting.

The TeloYears genetic test is based on cutting edge genetic science on telomere biology, which earned a Nobel Prize for the founder of Telomere Diagnostics, the laboratory we use to perform the TeloYears test.
What are Telomeres?

Telomeres are a key part of the process that ensures DNA is accurately copied as your cells divide and reproduce. When we are born, our telomeres are at their longest. However, throughout our lives, every time our cells divide, the telomeres shorten. At every cell division, telomeres lose a bit of their DNA until, over time, the cell cannot replicate and becomes "senescent", which is the cellular equivalent of aging. This shortening process acts as an aging clock for the lifetime of the cell.
But not everyone's cells age at the same rate throughout their lifetime. In fact, the rate of change is not constant even within the same person's lifetime. The rate of cellular aging and change in your telomere length is very individual and can be affected, both positively and negatively, by many contributing factors from person to person including:
    • Genetics                       
    • Diet              
    • Sedentary Lifestyle     
    • Active Lifestyle
    • Oxidative Stress 
    • History of Chemotherapy
    • Chronic Infections
    • Environment

You may be able to slow the rate at which your telomeres shorten with lifestyle interventions.    
What does TeloYears Cost?

TeloYears is available at a special introductory price of $89.
