What I learned trying to know myself a little bit better through a DNA analysis

I’m very interested in longevity and aging limitation (or even reversal) now that I passed the half line of my theoretical life expectancy. I believe in aging as an illness that can be diagnosed, understood and soon cured, but living in Barcelona is not that easy to get in direct touch with experts like you’d in the USA where most of my sources come from. The likes of Aubrey de Grey, Rhonda Patrick, David Sinclair, Peter Diamandis, Andre Hubermann, Dominic d’Agostino or Peter Attia.

I wanted to act, but first of all I needed to know where I am. My mechanical engineering thinking process needed a plan, and first of all, it required an audit of the situation to know some biomarkers and understand my genes.

I started searching some international services until I found a local startup, based in Barcelona that was performing some of this. Enter Made of Genes.

Made of Genes as they explain on their site: “take care of your health in a new and better way with our innovative molecular study. By integrating a blood test and a DNA test, we’re able to get a comprehensive view of your state of health and help you take the right steps towards a healthier life”. This is not an ad, I fully paid for their service and they don’t know I’m even writing this.
