The longevity-focused health tech company AgeRate offers at-home biological age testing through their advanced epigenetic analysis; Today they announce their partnership with Alively, a platform providing a wellness marketplace designed to build awareness, accessibility, trackability, and overall impact of what exists in the current wellness industry.
The collaboration’s main objective is to bring key biomarkers of aging and longevity like biological age to people directly, ultimately providing a better understanding of their health and what decisions will help them live longer.
By integrating AgeRate’s kit and health insights into their B2C Marketplace they are looking to leverage their advanced health tracking and longevity roadmap that allows users to derive personalized recommendations from their genetic data to improve their health and reduce their rate of aging through daily actions.
Cole Kirschner, CoFounder and CEO of AgeRate spoke about the partnership: “We have been looking forward to this partnership with Alively, our aligned missions provided a phenomenal opportunity to bring biological age and epigenetic insights to the forefront of those looking to take control of their health and wellness. Having access to our scores such as Chronic Inflammation, Balanced Diet Benefit, and Metabolic Health will provide a new level of depth to their understanding of their health, and what their next actions can and should be.” Cole’s words highlight the popular and growing desire for data-based approaches to managing health.
Lou Zameryka, the Chief Commercial Officer and CoFounder of Alively echoed the importance of their partnership and improving tracking health progress: “At Alively, our mission is to provide people with the right tools and practices to enhance their health journey. By partnering with AgeRate, we’re now able to help people take that even further—finally giving them the ability to see if the actions they’re taking are actually delivering the results they seek. With personalized insights into their biological age and key health markers, they can track progress, adjust strategies, and live healthier, longer lives. Together, we’re empowering people to take control of their longevity with real data and actionable solutions so they can live their best life their entire life.”
Understanding, “Why does biological age matter?”
The concept of measuring your biological age as a measure of contrast against your chronological age has been tried and tested by many. What makes AgeRate’s biological age measurement unique and reliable, stems from their proprietary algorithm that analyzes epigenetic markers in blood. Their test algorithm is also CLIA validated indicating unparalleled and consistent accuracy in its ability to track age and measure other markers as well.
Many treatments and health interventions are built around tracking a person’s chronological age. This all-in-one approach neglects personalization and the fact that individuals age differently. Tracking biological age provides an individualized metric that allows healthcare to be applied with personalized interventions. Furthermore, it can highlight specific target areas of age-related decline rather than starting with blanket solutions.
Epigenetic Scores – Cutting edge health tracking
Not all health metrics are equal, even metrics like biological age can vary based on the medium they are derived from. Every cell contains the same genetic code, but epigenetics vary based on the condition and age of the cell. AgeRate’s test identifies the genes that are turned on or off from a person’s lifestyle and environment. Their suite of health scores are derived from over 50,000+ CpG sites within your genes to provide a snapshot of your health. This uniquely provides longitudinal data instead of surface-level metrics like glucose levels and white blood cell counts that a typical blood test would measure.
Using these insights, users can take targeted actions to alter epigenetics and address specific areas affecting longevity. Whether it’s improving immune health or reducing inflammation, the scores provided offer more than just data, but actionable guidance to improve scores and health.
By making these advanced epigenetic scores available on the Alively platform the partnership ensures that users can seamlessly integrate insights into their existing wellness routines, and provides a way for users to repeat testing and truly track the progress of their aging and health, and ultimately figure out what works for them.
