How I Reverse My Biological Age by 15 Years With Supplements
Like many of you, I am constantly tinkering and experimenting with different modifiable lifestyle factors to try to optimize my quality of life – I am truly a biohacker.
As you would know, there is a big difference between Chronological Age and Biological Age. We have all worked with patients and seen individuals who look a lot older – or younger than their Chronological Age.
There are a lot of factors that can influence this difference: we cannot discount genetics however as we all know epigenetic expression can be significantly influenced by lifestyle and environmental factors.
So factors that we typically help our patients with would be included, such as diet, sleep, exercise, mental attitude, exposure to environmental toxins etc. can influence Biological Age.
When I am working with clients, I use a technology device which I have referred to previously – the iHeart technology which functions as a pulse oximeter but as well it measures AoPWV- Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity which is a measurement of aortic flexibility.
This biomarker is increasingly being used by progressive cardiologists and other health care practitioners as an indication of CV health and the potential for future events including sudden death, strokes and heart attacks.
This is considered a more accurate predictor of these events vs. lipid panels due to the fact that approximately 40% of individuals who have one of these events have normal lipid panels.
But what I really love about the iHeart is that it has an algorithm which compares Chronological Age vs. Biological Age.
I use this technology with all my clients and I find it works well to convey the concept of Healthspan and to optimize compliance.
I use this device regularly on myself and I get good results: I am 66 years old and my Biological Age result is typically around 25 years of age.
I take a lot of supplements and I have been doing some experimentation recently whereby I would check my Biological Age before and after taking my supplements to see if they were having any impact on my Biological Age results.
And sure enough, recent experimentation has shown that prior to taking my supplements my Biological Age reading was around 40 years – and then an hour or two after taking my supplements it was down to around 25 years of age.
And then I wanted to see if I could determine which of my supplements was having the most significant effect.
Sure enough the most significant impact came from just two supplements which would decrease my Biological Age by approximately 15 years and these two supplements turned out to be our two key Integra Nutrition formulations: Pricera, our very popular NAD+ precursor formulation as well as our GenZogenol formulation.
I won’t go into detail on these two formulations in this article: if you want more details on them, have a look at our Integra Nutrition website.
GenZogenol: this formulation includes a key ingredient – Enzogenol which has been shown in a rat study to LENGTHEN telomeres by 40% and in a mouse study to to lengthen healthspan and lifespan by the equivalent of approximately 15 years in humans.
Pricera: is an NAD+ precursor formulation and according to the published literature the best on the market.***
NAD+ levels decrease by 50% by the age of 50 and they are down by 90-96% by the age of 80.
One key factor about NAD+ is it is necessary to activate the Sirtuin longevity genes so if these are not being activated, it accelerates vascular aging which has an impact on virtually every cell in the body.
Optimizing NAD+ levels can have a significant impact on energy levels due to its impact on mitochondrial function: many users feel a surge in energy levels even within 24-72 hours.
These two formulations can have a dramatic positive impact on your personal aging process and healthsplan.
In addition, they can have a significant positive impact on pretty much all chronic, degenerative conditions.
If you would like to get some additional documentation of these two formulations – including some of the published research, reach out to me.
Pricera Testimonials
Liking Pricera 🙂
Definitely boosting energy and focus.
It’s been ages since I got out in the evening for a bike ride just because I was so knackered.
This changed within 2 days of starting the Pricera.
Also more mental clarity.

For a number of years I have been dealing with low energy and stamina, Chronic Fatigue and hand tremors.
One of the key areas where Pricera impacts me is my energy levels – in the past, I often could only work for 4-5 hours before I felt exhausted and would have to stop.
Some days it felt like my energy levels were so depleted that it was a struggle to get out of bed.
Since starting on the Pricera, I have experienced a tremendous boost to my energy levels and I can now work 8-10 hours at a stretch.
I have gained more stamina, energy and clarity and I have seen a significant improvement in my exercise capacity.
For myself, Pricera has been a life saver, and I will not miss a single day taking it!
