How fast are you aging?

What is biological age?

Last Updated: Jan 16, 2025

Your biological age reflects how well your body is functioning - not how many years you’ve been alive. Unlike chronological age, which simply counts birthdays, biological age estimates the true state of your health based on cellular, metabolic, and physiological markers.

It’s a more accurate snapshot of how "old" your body really is.

‍

Why it matters

In short: the younger your cells and systems are, the more energy, resilience, and strength you have - and the longer you’ll live.

Imagine having the energy of a 20-year-old when you’re 40.

That’s our mission at Superpower

But the truth is, modern healthcare doesn’t fully unlock your potential.

A typical annual physical tests only about 10 biomarkers and compares your results to declining population averages. You leave with a printout, a vague “you’re fine,” and no real direction.

That’s why Superpower exists.

We test over 100 biomarkers and compare your results to optimal - not average - ranges, developed by our clinical team.

Then we give you clear, personalized steps to lower your biological age - so you can feel better, perform your best, and take control of your long-term health.

If you’ve been waiting to feel young again -This is your wake-up call.

How we measure biological age

There are many ways to estimate your biological age but we’ll cover two of the main ones here.

Physical assessment

Simple physical tests can offer a surprisingly accurate window into your biological age.

Metrics like your waist-to-height ratio and how many  pushups  you can do are closely linked to cardiovascular fitness, and long-term health.

We use these measures to assess your risk for chronic disease and understanding what is accelerating your pace of aging.

Your PhenoAge

As part of the Superpower membership, we calculate your PhenoAge using a modified version of the original algorithm.

Traditional PhenoAge uses blood biomarkers to estimate your biological age at the cellular level, but in generally healthy people, it tends to underestimate the impact of low-grade inflammation and early dysfunction.

So what should you do now?
