DNA Methylation and Aging ft. Ryan Smith

Welcome back to the Health Upgrade Podcast! In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Smith, the founder of TruDiagnostic, to talk about the fascinating world of DNA methylation and its role in personalized healthcare and aging. Founded in 2020, True Diagnostic uses AI and genomics to build the largest private epigenetic database.

Ryan breaks down epigenetics by comparing DNA to hardware and gene expression to software. He explains how changing the way DNA works without altering its sequence can have a big impact on health and aging.

We also learn about Ryan’s journey from medical school to starting a pharmacy focused on peptides, and eventually founding TruDiagnostic. The episode dives into DNA methylation clocks, predictive technology for aging, and the potential of cellular reprogramming. There’s also discussion on using epigenetic treatments for animals, anti-aging strategies for dogs, and how things like diet, climate change, and lifestyle affect our genes.

Tune in to discover how cutting-edge science is shaping the future of healthcare. Whether you're looking to optimize your health or just curious about the future of medicine, this episode is full of valuable insights and practical tips!
