The Science of Aging: Tally Health’s Approach

The old saying “age is just a number” is being challenged by a new wave of companies, including Tally Health. Co-founded by Harvard Medical School professor David Sinclair and venture capitalist Whitney Casey, Tally Health offers a test that calculates your “biological age,” aiming to provide personalized recommendations to help lower that number.

Celebrity support for Tally Health is growing, with wellness guru Gwyneth Paltrow sharing her experience with the aging test on social media. Customers receive a test kit in the mail, complete a lifestyle survey, and mail the cheek swab back to Tally Health for analysis. The test measures DNA methylation patterns to determine biological age and provides lifestyle recommendations based on the results.

For those interested in trying the Tally Health program, a one-time test or subscription can be purchased, giving access to personalized recommendations and supplements formulated to promote longevity and improve aging. Despite the complexity of the science behind the test, Tally Health offers an intriguing opportunity to explore the potential impact of lifestyle choices on cellular health.
