Genetic and epigenetic tests are revolutionizing healthcare and increasing human life expectancy. This video shows how we learned to read the genome and the range of “switches” called the epigenome that turn our genes on and off. It also shows how these tests help us to live longer.

Dead Reckoning does it again! Incredible series, every episode is deeper and more thought-provoking than the last. I look forward to seeing what comes next and seeing more conversations out in the world on this topic.

Fascinating, Tom. Well done! I am reading the book, "The Code Breaker, " by Walter Isaacson on Jennifer Doudna's efforts around gene editing and CRISPR. Your video helped reinforced some concepts and will prepare me as continue reading.

When epigenetic tests that predict biological age become more common in the coming years, is it possible that our biological age will replace our chronological age on everything from our drivers licence to our social security account?

Hmmm. Interesting thought! I strongly suspect that chronological age will be used for drivers' licenses, SS#s etc. because they don't change. However, the static, linear nature of chronological age is the very thing that makes it less useful for figuring out what behaviors and interventions are specifically most appropriate for YOU at any given time, driving the increased use of biological age for that and other health related purposes.

How can we get this test taken? Would love to try it! Nice YouTube!
