What Is the Epigenetic Clock?

Your birth certificate tells one story. But your cells? They might be aging faster—or slower—than you think. Epigenetic clocks don’t measure time. They measure biological wear and tear by tracking chemical tags on your DNA called methylation markers. It’s how scientists can now estimate your true age at the cellular level, and even detect how your lifestyle is affecting your healthspan. From Horvath’s pioneering work to today’s AI-powered age predictors, we’re now able to track aging in real-time. The best part? Some studies suggest it might even be possible to slow down or reverse your biological age with the right interventions. Welcome to the future of aging, where the clock is more than just ticking. 🧬 Neoradus | Making Longevity Understandable
