Dr. Valter Longo—renowned longevity researcher and author—breaks down the top biomarkers he uses to assess biological age and long-term health. While your birthdate tells you your chronological age, these measurable markers reveal your biological age—how well your body is really functioning.
What’s in this video:
- The 5 key biomarkers Dr. Longo looks at to estimate biological age
- How IGF-1, insulin, glucose, CRP, and triglycerides relate to aging and disease
- Why systemic inflammation plays a critical role in longevity
- The impact of fatty liver disease on metabolic health
- The future of aging science: methylation testing and biological clocks
- Practical ways to monitor your own biological aging process
Why This Matters:
You can’t change your chronological age, but you can influence how fast your body ages. By understanding and tracking these core biomarkers, you gain powerful insight into your risk for chronic disease, energy levels, and how long and well you’re likely to live. We say it all the time and we’ll keep saying it: t’s not just about adding years to your life—it’s about adding life to your years.
