Epigenetic Testing: What's Your Real Age?

September 9, 2026 · 42 min

Show notes

What if your insides don't match your outsides? Dr Jason Chan dives into epigenetic testing and what it can reveal about biological age, metabolic health and how our bodies are ageing.

Dr Jason shares the wake-up call that came when his biological-age score tested 10 years older than expected, and explains what these tests actually measure, how they differ from DNA testing, and what our everyday habits can tell us about our health.

From gut health, sleep and stress to MRIs, DEXAs and biomarker testing, Dr Jason breaks down the tools being used to understand our health beyond the number on the birthday cake.

This episode features personal experiences, professional perspectives and emerging research. It is for general informational and entertainment purposes only and is not a recommendation or endorsement of any test, treatment or procedure. Please speak with an appropriately qualified health professional about your individual circumstances.
