Telomere Test (Track Your Inner Health)

· Those in Tokyo who wish to understand how stress impacts their cellular aging.
· Those who want to monitor their biological age compared to their chronological age.
· Those who want to live a longer, healthier life.
· Those who wish to evaluate the effectiveness of their current lifestyle, diet, or supplement.
· Those who wish to take charge of their long-term health.

Telomere Test determines your biological age and identifies the pre-disease condition of your body, which occurs before age-related disease symptoms manifest. By promoting dietary and lifestyle changes that are specific to your genetic makeup and present health state as shown by the test findings, Telomere Test's main goal is to help prevent aging and the onset of age-related disorders. Telomeres play an important role in regulating the rate of cellular aging and are intimately associated with the emergence of chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and other degenerative disorders. Important genetic information is protected during cell division by telomeres, which are protective structures found at the ends of chromosomes.

These telomeres are examined using Telomere Test to determine your gene strength, or the genetic resilience you were born with, as well as the extent of gene weariness, or the amount of stress and damage your genes have sustained as a result of aging, environmental variables, and lifestyle choices. People can maximize wellbeing, slow down aging, and promote long-term vitality by adopting tailored health solutions after learning about these signs.

Telomere Test usually starts with a straightforward sample of your blood or saliva, from which DNA is extracted. After that, the average telomere length of your white blood cells is determined by analyzing the DNA sequence using sophisticated laboratory procedures like Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). Your biological age is estimated by comparing this length to the population averages for various age groups.

Telomere Test gives results of how your cellular health compares to your chronological age, providing insights into the rate of aging in your body and how lifestyle factors, stress, or therapies may be influencing it. This test can also help to track changes in telomere length over time, helping to evaluate the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions aimed at improving health and slowing down the aging process.

1. Consultation on health goals and history with the doctor.
2. A sample will be collected through a blood draw or from saliva.
3. Length measurement of telomeres in white blood cells will be performed using Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR).
4. A detailed report with insights will be summarised and discussed once the analysis is complete.

<Advantages>
· Provides insight into your biological aging
· Helps monitor lifestyle effectiveness
· Ability to complement anti-aging or cellular therapies
· Supports personalized wellness planning

<Limitations>
· The test does not diagnose specific diseases, it only indicates health status and potential risks

· Ensure to get enough rest the night before taking the test
· Avoid strenuous exercise 24 hours before the test
· Avoid alcohol consumption and smoking at least 24 hours before taking the test
· Do not take supplements unless prescribed on the day of the test

· Ensure to drink enough water to stay hydrated, especially if blood sample was collected
· Normal routines can be followed right after the test

Q1: What can Telomere Test tell us?
A1: Telomere Test shows the length of your telomeres, which are protective parts at the ends of your DNA sequence; this helps to estimate your biological age compared to your actual age, giving an idea of your cellular health and how your lifestyle affects your body.

Q2: What should I do if I have short telomeres?
A2: Focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, good sleep, and avoid smoking and consuming alcohol. The doctor may also recommend supplements or therapies to support your telomere health.

Q3: Is Telomere Test painful?
A3: Telomere Test is usually done with a simple blood or saliva sample collection, which is quick with minimal discomfort.

Q4: How often should I take Telomere Test?
A4: Most people take Telomere Test once a year or every 6 to 12 months to track changes and to evaluate if the changes in lifestyle are contributing to the improvement of the telomere health.

Q5: Can Telomere Test diagnose diseases?
A5: No, Telomere Test is not able to diagnose specific diseases.

Q6: Is Telomere Test useful for younger people?
A6: Yes, Telomere Test can help you start early on healthy habits to support long-term health and slow down the aging process.
