I’m an academic scientist, involved in academic research all of my career up until the point where I retired and started focusing on biotech industries like Genetic LifeSpan. So, developed a protocol in Canada which was eventually called the Edmonton Protocol to treat patients with type one diabetes. That got me recruited to the University of California Irvine where we focused on stem cell and stem cell technologies to provide insulin producing cells to patients with type one diabetes. So for me Genetic LifeSpan is a novel technology, a comprehensive technology that allows an individual to better understand their health.
It excites me because I think everybody wants to live longer, wants to be healthier, everybody wants to do that, but they really don’t have the tools to do that. So Genetic LifeSpan provides that key component that allows somebody to get the information and then be able to make those changes. And those changes may come about through changes in their diet, changes in exercise, changes in nutritional, but also changes potentially in the future of using some stem cell technologies. We may look in the mirror and see something, but they actually have those hard numbers and to have that information is really critical.
So we can now collect somebody’s blood and bank the immune cells from that. Those cells are the key cells that are going be involved in the future technologies where we take pluripotent stem cells and differentiate them into different cells for different diseases. Diseases include diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, other neurologicals, autism potentially in the future. So by banking your own immune cells that is your personal bank of your own cells so that when those cells get transplanted there isn’t there isn’t the need to provide immune immunosuppression and immunosuppression is very toxic.
It prevents the body from rejecting but it also inhibits some of these cells from functioning. So my personal testimonial for age code is I took the test and I got my results and I’ve spent time now reviewing my outcomes. My biological age is lower than my actual which is good. So there are some positives but there are also things that were identified that I’ve started to work on.
So opportunities to improve my nutrition, obviously exercise is something that I’ve always had a challenge with. So I’m, you know, more interested in focusing on that so that in three or four months I can go back, redo the test and see what the changes I’ve made, how that’s changed my genetic life span results.
