Did you know that your biological age can tell a different story than your chronological age? From a health perspective, it’s not just about the number of years you’ve lived, but how your body has aged at the DNA level. Understanding your biological age can reveal how lifestyle choices and environmental factors have impacted your long-term health and longevity.
In this episode, I’m joined by Hannah Went from TruDiagnostic, a company that specializes in biological age testing and epigenetics, helping people gain deeper insights into their epigenome and overall health.
Went breaks down the science of aging, highlighting how lifestyle decisions affect up to 80% of your health outcomes, compared to the 20% dictated by genetics. Whether it’s stress from childhood, diet, or daily habits, these factors influence your body’s biological age and its vulnerability to diseases.
Using my own biological age test as a case study, we explore how it’s possible to age biologically faster than your chronological age, and what can be done to slow this process. Went also delves into epigenetic clocks like the OMICmAge, which assess gene expression to predict disease risks and mortality. Understanding these markers allows you to take a proactive approach to health, making preventative lifestyle adjustments before problems arise.
We also discuss the practical side of biological age testing, including privacy concerns and the importance of regular testing to guide healthier choices.
This episode provides actionable advice on how to take control of your aging process and improve both your lifespan and healthspan.

Peluva makes minimalist shoes to support optimal foot, back and joint health. I started wearing Peluvas several months ago, and I haven’t worn regular shoes since. I encourage you to consider trading your sneakers or training shoes for a pair of Peluvas, and then watch the health of your feet and lower back improve while reducing your risk of injury. To learn more about why I love Peluva barefoot shoes, check out my in-depth review and use code KUMMER to get 15% off your first pair.
