AGE TESTS EXPLAINED: How Dr Nic uses science to define our celebrity guest's results
About this episode
In the first bonus episode of our new series of Dr Nichola’s Second Opinion, resident scientist Dr Nichola Conlon is back in your feed with more of the science behind What’s My Age Again?
This time she’s unpacking biological age tests: what they measure, how they work, and what they can really tell you about your health.
Dr Nichola explains why we all have two ages (chronological and biological) and how the show’s go-to GlycanAge test reads patterns to reveal how fast – or slow – your body is really ageing.
Listener questions take us from pollution and skin ageing, to healthspan vs lifespan and “inflammaging.”
And it’s back! Each week we sign off with Dr Nic’s Quick Fix.
This week: How to choose the right test and use results for insight rather than anxiety.
Send in your questions using our socials and we could be answering them soon on Dr Nichola’s Second Opinion.
