Summary
Generation Lab has made groundbreaking efforts in quantifying our bodies "biological age" based off what's actually happening in our bodies based off of 19 organ functions and systems.
The technology of this new way of testing allows for personalized protocols to maintaining our health based on your unique epigenetic information.
New emerging technologies in making the testing and evaluation processes of healthcare more accessible allows patients to be more proactive about their health.

| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. Kay, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon. |
| 0:18.4 | In today's podcast, we're going to dive deep into the concept of |
| 0:21.8 | biologic age. It's not enough to know how old you are. Age. It's just a number after all, |
| 0:28.1 | but our genes tell an untold story of our aging process. In today's podcast, we're interviewing |
| 0:33.4 | Alina Sue. She's the CEO and the founder of Generation Labs. And Generation Labs is a spinoff |
| 0:41.0 | from Convoy Labs at UC Berkeley. She is fascinating. She was at Harvard Med School, |
| 0:46.9 | getting her PhD and MD. And she dropped out in her third year to pursue this amazing idea |
| 0:52.3 | and this technology of looking at your |
| 0:54.7 | biologic age based on your genetic aging, DNA from like 19 different tests from the organ |
| 1:01.5 | systems of the body. So welcome to the podcast, Alina. I can't wait to find out how actually |
| 1:06.9 | old I am. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks for having you, Dr. Kay. It's always interesting because people are, we were the one who created plasma exchange 20 years, |
| 1:15.7 | so 20 years ago. |
| 1:17.3 | And people like Peter Thiel were starting to exchanging blood with a younger person. |
| 1:22.1 | But it was always a myth for us. |
| 1:24.5 | How old can we actually reverse? |
| 1:26.8 | Like how much can we actually reverse people Like, how much can we actually reverse |
| 1:28.4 | people's biological age back to a younger state? So that's when, starting from the lab, |
| 1:34.1 | we were doing research into how do we actually quantify your biological age? Because men age is |
| 1:40.1 | differently than women. And your brain ages differently than your skin, than your liver, |
| 1:44.8 | then your heart. So how do you actually quantify it and build a best actionable, personalized |
| 1:51.0 | protocol on top of that information? And that's what we're going to be building today in our podcast. |
| 1:56.6 | Well, I love the whole concept. So first, I want to start with, wait, you were in med school at Harvard and you dropped out. |
