Time Is an Illusion: All You Need to Know About Epigenetic Clocks

As human beings, we operate in linear time – minutes, days, weeks, and years into the future or past. 

Because of that, we often correlate our mortality and expected lifespan to our chronological age, a feeling of helplessness accompanying the inevitable aging process.But the truth is our longevity relies upon our biological age more than our chronological age – now more than ever. 

In fact, there’s a way you can measure your current biological age to see how much, or how little, you’re aging compared to your chronological age. 

You can do this through an epigenetic clock. Learn about the history, benefits, and types of epigenetic clocks in this week's article.
