This episode features Hannah Went, of TruDiagnostic. She discussed the topic of epigenetics, a field of biology that examines markers above the genetic sequence and is modifiable by environmental influences and human intervention. Hannah talked about the role that genetics and epigenetics play in diseases like diabetes and how modifying one's lifestyle might reduce the possibility of developing these illnesses.

Hannah and I talk about the importance of preventative healthcare and biological age during the interview. Given that aging is the leading risk factor for chronic illnesses and death, she highlights the need of knowing one's biological age. She notes that biological age is reversible and changeable through lifestyle factors that can reduce stress and encourage healthy living.

Hannah Went has a lifelong passion for longevity and breakthrough, disruptive technologies that drive radical improvement to the human condition. She attended the University of Kentucky and graduated with a degree in Biology. During that time, she had multiple research internships studying cell signaling and cell biology. After graduation, she worked for the International Peptide Society as their Director of Research and Content. Through work in the integrative medicine industry, Hannah saw an opportunity for methylation-based age diagnostics and started TruDiagnostics in 2020. TruDiagnostic is a company focusing on methylation array-based diagnostics for life extension and preventive healthcare serving functional medicine providers. TruDiagnostic has a commitment to research with over 30 approved clinical trials investigating the epigenetic methylation changes of longevity and health interventions. Since TruDiagnostic’s inception, they have created one of the largest private epigenetic health databases in the world with over 15,000 patients tested to date. Hannah has since created Everything Epigenetics where she shares insights on how DNA regulation has an impact on your health.
