Reversible cellular aging markers that can be improved with targeted interventions.
This test enables our longevity team to fine-tune anti-aging and preventive medicine strategies customized to your biology.
3. Telomere Length Testing
Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of your chromosomes that shorten as cells divide and age. By measuring telomere length, we can assess:
-
Your cellular stress load.
-
The biological wear-and-tear accumulated from lifestyle, stress, and chronic disease.
-
Early indicators of accelerated aging and degenerative disease risk.
With this information, we can proactively adjust your lifestyle, supplementation, and medical care to protect your cellular health.
4. TruHealth Advanced Biomarkers
TruHealth by TruDiagnostics expands beyond biological age to analyze:
-
Chronic inflammation pathways.

All About Iron Deficiency: What It Is and How to Treat It
What is Iron Deficiency?
Iron deficiency happens when your body doesn’t have enough iron to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Without enough iron, your body can’t make enough healthy red blood cells, leading to iron deficiency anemia. This condition can leave you feeling tired, weak, and a bit out of breath.
Why Does Iron Deficiency Happen?
Iron deficiency can be caused by several things, such as:
1. Not Enough Iron in Your Diet:
If you’re not eating enough iron-rich foods like red meat, beans, or spinach, you might not be getting enough iron.
2. Your Body Needs More Iron:
Certain stages of life, like pregnancy or growth spurts in children, increase the body’s need for iron.
3. Losing Too Much Blood:
Heavy periods or internal bleeding (like from ulcers) can cause you to lose more iron than your body can replace.
4. Trouble Absorbing Iron:
Conditions like celiac disease or Crohn’s disease can make it hard for your body to absorb iron from food.
Signs You Might Be Low on Iron
Look out for these signs that you might be low on iron:
-
Feeling Very Tired: Because your body isn’t getting enough oxygen.
-
Pale Skin: You might notice your skin looks lighter than usual.
-
Shortness of Breath: Even small activities can leave you feeling winded.
-
Dizzy or Lightheaded: Lack of oxygen can make you feel woozy.
-
Cold Hands and Feet: Poor circulation from low iron can make your extremities chilly.
-
Brittle Nails and Hair Loss: Iron deficiency can weaken your nails and make your hair fall out.
-
Weird Cravings: You might crave strange things like ice or dirt, a condition known as pica.
How is Iron Deficiency Diagnosed?
To find out if you’re iron deficient, your doctor might:
1. Ask About Your Symptoms and Diet:
A good chat about how you’re feeling and what you eat can give clues.
2. Do Some Blood Tests:
Tests like a Complete Blood Count (CBC) or Serum Ferritin test show if you have enough iron and healthy red blood cells.
3. Check for Other Causes:
If needed, tests like an endoscopy or colonoscopy can see if there’s internal bleeding.
Treating Iron Deficiency: Iron Infusion to the Rescue!
When it comes to treating iron deficiency, there are several options, but iron infusion stands out for a few reasons:
1. Fast and Effective:
Iron infusion delivers iron directly into your bloodstream through an IV drip. This means your body gets iron quickly, without relying on digestion. It’s ideal for people who need to boost their iron levels fast, like those with severe anemia or those who can’t tolerate oral iron supplements.
2. Bypasses Absorption Issues:
If you have conditions that make it hard to absorb iron from food or pills (like celiac disease or after certain surgeries), an iron infusion bypasses your digestive system altogether.
3. Convenient and Long-Lasting:
While taking iron pills daily can be a hassle, an iron infusion is usually a single session or a few spaced-out treatments. The effects can last much longer, making it a convenient option for those with busy lives or those who struggle with taking daily supplements.
4. Less Digestive Upset:
Oral iron supplements can sometimes cause stomach issues like constipation or nausea. Iron infusion avoids these side effects because it doesn’t pass through your digestive system.
How Iron Infusion Works
1. Preparation:
Before your infusion, your doctor will check your iron levels and overall health.
2. The Infusion Process:
You’ll sit comfortably while an IV drip delivers iron into your bloodstream. This usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. You might feel a bit of warmth as the iron goes in, but most people find it quite relaxing.
3. After the Infusion:
You can go about your day as usual. Your doctor will schedule follow-up tests to check how well the infusion has worked and if you need more treatments.
Preventing Iron Deficiency
To avoid iron deficiency in the future, try these tips:
1. Eat Iron-Rich Foods:
Include foods like red meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, and leafy greens in your diet. Pair them with Vitamin C-rich foods like oranges or tomatoes to boost iron absorption.
2. Regular Check-Ups:
Get regular check-ups, especially if you’re at higher risk (like if you’re pregnant or have chronic conditions).
3. Know the Symptoms:
Recognize the symptoms of iron deficiency early, so you can seek treatment before it becomes severe.
4. Manage Conditions:
If you have conditions that affect iron absorption or cause blood loss, work with your healthcare provider to manage them effectively.
