The Age Edit
™
It’s not about anti-aging.
It’s about reverse-biological-aging.
What’s biological age?
You’re familiar with your chronological age - the number of years you’ve graced this planet, but your biological age isn’t determined by your birthday. Your biological age tells you how rapidly - or slowly - your body is aging. Are you 42 but biologically 50? Or are you 35 and biologically 29? It reflects a complex network of gene expression changes (epigenetic changes) and the resulting cellular functioning of your body.
What influences biological aging?
Biological age consists of what you inherited from your parents, what you developed during your childhood, and everyday lifestyle influences like sleep, stress, smoking, nutrition, exercise habits, and much more. The great news is, you can reduce your biological age by influencing the epigenetic expression of genes that tell your cells to act younger and the genes tell your body to keep chronic diseases hushed.
Okay, what the heck is epigenetics?
Epigenetics is simply the “turning on” or “turning off” of your genes that express health or the genes that express disease. It’s more like tweaking the various buttons up and down on the mixing console in the recording studio to control the music output. The “tweaks” in your life are “all the things” you’re doing - or not doing - on the daily that affects how your genes are expressed. There’s a reason we created The Foundations Edit!
Believe it or not, you have the power to age like that hot celebrity in their 50s that never ages.
But slowing aging isn't vanity - it's a powerful tool to reduce disease risk and increase healthspan.
The best biological age test on the market.
The Doctor’s Edit offers the most advanced epigenetic biological age test, called TruAge™, from TruDiagnostic™. This simple at-home finger-prick test will evaluate 900,000 spots on your DNA to tell you how quickly your body is aging. It’s more accurate than other saliva-based age tests out there.
Age is the number one risk factor.
When it comes to chronic diseases that do us in - cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and more, your age is the #1 risk factor. But contrary to conventional medical belief, age is a modifiable risk factor - biological age, that is. Your lifestyle is already changing your body. By measuring your biological age, you can learn to control it.
The Age Edit is the perfect complement to your Foundations Edit.
Together, the Foundations x Age Edit will give you a broad picture of your baseline health and biological age that you can track every 3 to 6 months with the lifestyle edits you’ve made.
✔︎ Included are four consultations (5 hours total) with the doctor to audit, analyze, and edit your foundations x biological age.
✔︎ Your genomic profile is continually updated by AI with new evidence-based research and will be available for all of your future consults onward.
✔︎ No recurring membership fees.
✔︎ Use your PPO insurance for Quest or Labcorp.
✔︎ HSA/FSA accepted.

The Age Edit FAQ
-
A: The list price for the TruAge test is $499. However, TruAge through The Doctor’s Edit is $450 and includes shipping and the Tasso device if purchased a la carte. This is included with The Age Edit price.
Insurance does not cover TruAge.
-
A: It’s recommended to repeat the TruAge test every 3-6 months to track how your lifestyle edits are affecting your biological age. The minimum amount of time needed to see changes in the test is 8 weeks (2 months) with massive lifestyle changes.
TruAge Pace is another option you may use to test every 3-4 months. This test is a less expensive version that offers a snapshot of how you’re doing using the Dunedin Pace of Aging measurement. It does not include all the comprehensive reports of the original TruAge test.
-
A: The TruAge reports are multi-page reports with a lot of information to cover. The whole Age Edit will likely take up the hour.
Depending on when your results return, you can do either the Age, Genomic or Foundations follow-up first. It does not need to be in a specific order.
-
A: Yes, we do offer the NADMED NAD+ /NADH test through TruDiagnostic. This is an optional add-on test that you may request during your Foundations x Age Audit.
The NADMED test is $350, which includes shipping and also the return shipping package fee. This test is billed separately from The Age Edit.
-
A: You may opt out of genomic testing during checkout.
In the “Genomic Test Option” at checkout, choose “No Genomic Tests”. This will subtract the cost of IntellxxDNA.
-
A: It depends. Was it a direct-to-consumer test? Did it give you the answers you need? We partner with companies that provide clinical-grade data and require a professional medical license.
Generally speaking, direct-to-consumer companies cannot give you information that requires a doctor to be in the room.
If you’re satisfied with the information from your previous test, you may choose to opt out of re-testing during checkout. In the “Genomic Test Option,” at checkout choose “No Genomic Tests”. This will subtract the cost of IntellxxDNA.
If you have already completed either IntellxxDNA or New Amsterdam Genomic testing, you may choose to share your profile with us, if you wish. Also choose “No Genomic Tests” during checkout.
