How Long Will You Live? The Future of Longevity Testing w Dr. Matthew Dawson of TruDiagnostic 256
Tuesday, 18 March, 2025
In this episode, we dive deep into the world of longevity science and epigenetic testing with TruDiagnostic . We discuss the accuracy of biological age tests, the ethical and regulatory challenges in the industry, and how personalized interventions could reshape the future of health. Whether you're skeptical or curious, this conversation uncovers what’s real, what’s hype, and what the future holds for longevity research. https://youtu.be/UzTjW9oDTlE https://youtu.be/UzTjW9oDTlELearning with Lowell links Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/66eFLHQclKe5p3bMXsCTRH RSS: https://www.learningwithlowell.com/feed/podcast/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzri06unR-lMXbl6sqWP_-Q Website: https://www.learningwithlowell.com Dr. Matthew Dawson and TruDiagnostic links: https://trudiagnostic.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-dawson-75196040 About TruDiagnostic “TruDiagnostic is a state of the art epigenetic testing company, specializing in Biological Aging, Nutritional Deficiencies, and Cellular Systems Health based on DNA Methylation. We offer testing for clinical practitioners and their patients, and consumers. TruDiagnostic is dedicated to utilizing validated research and rigorous scientific standards to expand our knowledge and analysis into Epigenetics and Aging. We also participate in research studies, using our validated Biological Age test (TruAge) to verify claims from interventional products. Our goal for the future is to continue to develop our DNA Methylation analytical ability until we can successfully identify markers that can be used by physicians to diagnose age-related diseases before they show outward symptoms, and let them begin early interventions. “ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction to longevity, health, and lifespan. 00:05 - Guest introduction: Matt's company was featured on the Kardashians. 00:11 - The Kardashians used Matt’s product and featured it on their show. 00:29 - How the Kardashians initially used the product anonymously. 00:47 - The business impact of being featured on their show. 2:24 - Concerns about a deep science company being associated with pop culture. 3:39 - The role of influencers in translating deep tech for the general public. 4:53 - Questions from new customers after the Kardashian episode. 5:38 - Differentiating from inaccurate biological age tests. 6:08 - Issues with market confusion and low-quality alternatives. 7:03 - Strategies to rise above market noise (publications, collaborations). 8:07 - Explanation of True Diagnostic's work. 9:02 - Why early biological age tests were not useful. 9:40 - The breakthrough with Duke’s "Pace of Aging" test. 10:30 - Sensitivity of the test to interventions (pregnancy, stress, COVID). 11:43 - Clinical use cases: testing interventions in real-time. 12:01 - Accuracy of the new tests versus old biological age models. 13:00 - Practical applications of knowing your aging rate. 14:01 - The relationship between aging and disease risk. 15:02 - Why aging is the biggest health risk factor. 15:20 - Rising chronic diseases and lifestyle factors. 16:49 - Microplastics, environmental toxins, and their potential impact. 17:57 - Exercise and cognitive health. 18:59 - The importance of heart health for brain function. 19:54 - Types of exercise and their impact on aging. 22:14 - How AI can optimize personal health recommendations. 23:48 - AI-assisted food recommendations based on genetics. 25:17 - The future of AI-driven precision medicine. 26:49 - How precision medicine can add 20 years to lifespan. 28:16 - The role of genetic and biomarker testing in personalized medicine. 32:00 - The potential for AI-driven medical interventions. 36:07 - Collaborations with top universities (Harvard, Duke, Mayo Clinic). 38:56 - Using AI for predictive health insights. 42:26 - The possibility of a single blood test diagn...
