The Most Important Test Your Doctor Won’t Order

I’ve been getting a lot of mail from readers asking a similar question. Most are like this one from MK in Philadelphia: “I’m going for an annual checkup with my doctor soon. I want to make sure I’m getting the right tests. What’s the number one anti-aging test I should ask my doctor for?” It’s a great question. The problem is your local doctor has probably never even heard of the top anti-aging test I recommend. You see, I want to know what’s going on with you at the cellular level. And that’s why I think it’s essential to measure your telomeres. Telomeres are an important part of human cells that affect how our cells age. You know by now telomeres are the protective caps at the end of each strand of DNA. When you are young your telomeres are long. But every time a cell divides the telomeres get shorter. Over time, your telomeres get so short they can’t protect your DNA as well. When a cell divides, new cells are defective. You begin to develop the signs and diseases of old age. Short telomeres dramatically boost your risk of serious diseases. They’ve been linked to a 300% increased rate of death from heart disease. They’re also linked to an 800% higher death rate from infectious diseases.1 By measuring your telomeres, I can tell your true “biological age.” Telomere length is the strongest indicator of how quickly you’re aging and how old you really are. So let’s say you’re tested when you’re 60 years old. It takes four to six week...
