Glycan Age Testing at Karli Health: Measuring Your Biological Age
At Karli Health, we go beyond traditional aging assessments with Glycan Age Testing, a cutting-edge tool that measures your biological age by analyzing glycans—sugar molecules that regulate inflammation and immune function. Unlike chronological age, biological age reflects the health of your body at the cellular level, helping you understand how lifestyle, stress, diet, and inflammation influence aging.
Why Glycan Age Testing Matters
- Assess Your Biological Aging – Understand if your body is aging faster, slower, or in line with your chronological age.
- Identify & Manage Inflammation – Glycan patterns shift with chronic inflammation (inflammaging), a key driver of age-related diseases like arthritis, diabetes, and cardiovascular issues.
- Measure the Impact of Lifestyle & Hormones – Track how diet, exercise, stress, sleep, and hormone balanceinfluence your biological age and overall health.
- Preventative Health Optimization – Use your results to make targeted lifestyle changes and interventions that slow aging and enhance longevity.
How Glycan Age Testing Works
Understanding Glycans & Aging
- Glycans are sugar molecules attached to proteins, regulating immune and inflammatory responses.
- With age, glycans shift to a more inflammatory state, accelerating chronic disease and aging.
- Unlike DNA, glycans respond to lifestyle changes, making them a valuable marker for personalized health optimization.
Testing Process
- Step 1: A simple pinprick (or blood draw) can be done at Karli Health.
- Step 2: Advanced Laboratory Analysis – IgG glycans are examined for patterns linked to inflammation and aging.
- Step 3: Personalized Interpretation – Your biological vs. chronological age is assessed, along with insights into your inflammatory status.
- Step 4: Track Progress – Reassess every 6–12 months to measure the effectiveness of lifestyle changes.
Who Should Consider Glycan Age Testing?
- Longevity & Preventative Health Seekers – Optimize aging with proactive lifestyle strategies.
- Individuals Managing Chronic Inflammation – Arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune conditions.
- Health & Fitness Enthusiasts – Gauge how diet, exercise, and recovery routines impact cellular aging.
- Patients Undergoing Lifestyle or Hormone Therapy – Monitor improvements in biological age as you implement personalized interventions.
How to Use Your Glycan Age Results
- Targeted Lifestyle Changes – Optimize diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management to reduce inflammation and slow aging.
- Personalized Nutrition & Hormone Optimization – Correcting nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances can enhance immune regulation and reduce biological aging.
- Monitor & Adjust Interventions – Track how dietary shifts, exercise programs, or medical treatments impact aging markers over time.
