Telomere Testing (Understand Your Aging Process)

· Those in Tokyo who want to assess their biological age and cellular health.
· Those who want to understand their longevity potential.
· Those who want to maintain optimal health and vitality.
· Those who wish to take preventative measures against age-related diseases.
· Those who wish to monitor the impact of lifestyle changes on aging.

Telomere Testing is a diagnostic procedure that measures the length of telomeres, which are the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. As we age, telomeres naturally shorten, as they are significantly linked to the aging process and an increased risk of age-related diseases. By testing the length of your telomeres and G-tails in white blood cells through a blood test, along with quantifying gene strength and fatigue, this procedure provides insights into your biological age and overall health. It helps you understand how well your cells are aging, allowing for proactive steps to improve longevity, prevent diseases, and maintain vitality. This non-invasive test can be an important tool for those looking to closely monitor and optimize their health and wellness.

Telomere Testing is a simple, non-invasive procedure that typically involves a blood sample or a cheek swab. The sample is then sent to a laboratory where the length of your telomeres will be analysed. The testing equipment used measures these telomeres accurately and compares your results to population averages for your age group. A shorter telomere length may indicate accelerated aging, while longer telomeres suggest better health and longevity. The process is quick, and the results provide valuable insights into your biological age and overall cell health, allowing for personalized health recommendations.

1. Consultation and health assessments will be conducted.
2. A blood sample or a cheek swab will be collected for the test.
3. The sample will be tested and reviewed.
4. A follow-up consultation may be scheduled to discuss the results.
5. Post-test instructions may be provided by the doctor.

Q1: What are Telomeres?
A1: Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that prevent DNA damage. As we age, telomeres naturally shorten, due to the aging process and the risk of age-related diseases.

Q2: How accurate is telomere testing?
A2: Telomere testing is generally accurate, providing a reliable measure of telomere length. However, results can vary based on factors such as genetics and lifestyle.

Q3: Can you change telomere length?
A3: While telomere length naturally shortens over time, certain lifestyle changes like exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management may help slow down the shortening process.

Q4: What is the minimum telomere length?
A4: The minimum telomere length varies by age and individual health. Generally, shorter telomeres are linked to higher risks of age-related diseases.

Q5: Does exercise affect telomere length?
A5: Yes, regular exercise has been shown to help preserve telomere length by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, as these can accelerate the aging process.
