Move Aside Anti-Ageing, It's Age Reversal We're Talking Now
SINGAPORE, Aug. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In the realm of medical progress, the horizon extends far beyond the battle against diseases. Now, the concept of "age reversal" — not merely slowing down or halting ageing — stands as a tangible reality. However, the validity and accuracy of ageing measurements determine the objectivity of this reality. Hence, the emergence of "biological age" testing, where epigenetic clocks reign supreme in scientific circles due to their unparalleled accuracy.
Remarkably, a platform named the Rejuvenation Olympics (1) has been established, inviting the public to participate in an age reversal competition by submitting their epigenetic clock biological age test results. This initiative aims to catalyze the search for the most effective age rejuvenation strategies.
At Root of Life, we interact with medical facilities across the United States, Malaysia, and beyond, where nutritional products are ordered for patient well-being, have exposed us to the realm of regenerative and longevity medicine. This arena encompasses treatments like stem cell therapy and IV nutrient infusions, which celebrities, patients, and doctors have embraced for their documented benefits. The scientific literature, along with long-standing safety records and minimal complications, bolsters these practices. Over time, we have witnessed compelling transformations in patients' lives and can identify clinics consistently delivering positive outcomes through biological age test assessments before and after treatment.
Singapore, too, is catching onto this trend, likely due to its ageing population's pursuit of vibrant health in their golden years. Notably, the National University Hospital (NUH) achieved great success with a study involving stem cell therapy for damaged knee cartilage among 392 patients (2). This breakthrough, published in The Straits Times in September 2022, was followed by another article in June 2023, spotlighting researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School developing an advanced stem cell therapy targeting cardiac regeneration in heart failure (3). While this treatment is still in development, the promising pre-clinical results offer hope for a condition with limited existing treatment options.
On September 7th, 2022, the Ministry of Health's National University Health System (NUHS) inaugurated the Centre for Healthy Longevity (CHL) with a resolute mission: to extend healthspan in the Singaporean population by five years through the deceleration of biological ageing (4). The CHL, led by distinguished figures like Professor Brian Kennedy and Professor Andrea Maier, comprises scientists and clinicians dedicated to exploring the multifaceted aspects of ageing. Their involvement underscores the NUHS's profound commitment.
At Root of Life, we provide a comprehensive test that offers your genetic blueprint and actionable insights related to lifestyle, diet, sleep, exercise, nutrition, and more. The assessment includes biological age along with metrics such as memory age, hearing age, eye age, and inflammation levels — collectively contributing to the overall understanding of healthspan and life quality. This evaluation is facilitated by Muhdo, a company that NUH, particularly Professor Brian Kennedy and his CHL team, rely on for their research (5).
If the idea of making informed health decisions, understanding your biological age, and gauging the efficacy of your health strategies intrigues you, we invite you to explore further via this link.
