A blood test for the biological clock

The simple measurement is based on complicated algorithms built on years of research. Experts on aging, nutrition and exercise physiology have developed a blood test that claims to assess your physiological age based on your hormones, allowing you to adjust diet, exercise and lifestyle accordingly in hopes to stay young. The service, called InnerAge, launched this week in Cambridge, Massachusetts after two years of development. "The advice is tailored to your body, and might include guidance like eating avocados, beans, and artichokes to reduce glucose, and eating more salmon, cheese, and mushrooms to increase levels of vitamin D," says Dr. Gil Blander, who founded InnerAge based on his postdoctoral research on aging at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
