Methylation is a biological process in which a methyl group (one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms) is added to DNA molecules. This process does not alter the genetic code itself but plays a crucial role in regulating and understanding gene expression, essentially determining which genes are "turned on" or "off." Methylation patterns are dynamic and influenced by age, environment, stress, diet, and other lifestyle factors. Because these patterns directly impact cellular behavior, immune function, inflammation, and even detoxification, they serve as powerful indicators of overall health and aging.
At Genetic LifeSpan, we use methylation as a cornerstone of our AgeCodeā¢ Test because it provides the most scientifically validated window into biological aging. By analyzing over 200 epigenetic biomarkers, including methylation signals, we can accurately assess client's Pace of Aging, Biological Age, and the functional health of key Organ Systems. This data enables us to go beyond surface-level insights and generate precise, personalized health recommendations based on how the body is actually performing, not just how old the client is.
