Epigenetics is the fascinating science that studies how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence. The Tru Age test uses the principles of epigenetics to provide a comprehensive analysis of your health and ageing process.
One of the key aspects of epigenetics is DNA methylation. This is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule, modifying the function of the genes and affecting gene expression. The Tru Age test looks at these methylation markers to determine your biological age. Their sophisticated algorithms identify how quickly the body is ageing at a biological level.
Accelerated biological ageing is the #1 predictor of chronic disease morbidity and death. People with a younger biological age are at a lower risk of suffering age-related diseases. Therefore, an accurate measurement of biological age is a key tool for healthcare practitioners to judge whether age-reversal interventions are necessary, and to what extent.
These measures provide a deeper look into how different systems in your body, such as the immune system, are affecting your epigenetic age

Hi, I’m Stephen Ward (MSc) from Fairfield Nutrition. As a Functional Medicine practitioner, I’ve seen firsthand how our lifestyle and environment can impact our health and ageing process. This understanding led me to the field of epigenetics and the Tru Age test.
Ageing is a natural part of life, but did you know that your biological age can differ from your chronological age? Factors such as diet, stress, sleep, and exercise can all influence how quickly our bodies age. Understanding this can provide valuable insights into our overall health and longevity.
The Tru Age test is a revolutionary tool that provides a comprehensive analysis of your biological age, offering a deeper understanding of your health beyond what traditional tests can provide. It’s not just about knowing your biological age, but about understanding what it means for your health and how you can potentially slow down the ageing process.
We offer the test along with a 1 hour consultation to discuss your results, their implications, and what changes you can make to reduce your biological age.
If you are serious about improving you health, wellbeing, and chronic health conditions, you may want to consider our Health Unlimited program. In the program, we can investigate and treat the root causes of health issues and accelerated aging.
This comprehensive 4-month program provides all the support you need to make meaningful and sustainable changes and includes a full assessment of your current health, lab testing, and a personalised step-by-step plan to recovery, focussing on diet, lifestyle and targeted supplementation.
You can read more about the program here.
Prices include a 1 hr consultation with myself to interpret your results and offer recommendations for next steps.
Once paid, you will receive a pathology slip to take a collection centre for a blood draw.
