THE EPIGENETIC REVOLUTION: THE CLINICAL UTILITY AND APPLICATION FOR EPIGENETIC TESTING IN AGE MANAGEMENT WEBINAR SERIES
WEBINAR COST – $75.00
Aging is the number one risk factor for almost all chronic diseases. However, the wide phenotypic variation between has always kept chronological age from being a reliable clinical biomarker. As a result, aging has always been difficult to objectively assess.
Now, with the advent of new Multi-omic diagnostics such as epigenetics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, we now have ways to effectively assess patient’s aging rates and vet the effect of many anti-aging treatments. In particular, many advances have been made to epigenetic testing and the algorithms that can interpret these DNA markers to health related risks and outcomes. Now we can use these epigenetic algorithms to assess immune system function, telomere length, senescence, instantaneous aging rate, and of course how all of these metrics relate to the risk of developing chronic disease.
Additionally, unlike DNA, changes can be made to reverse the signs of epigenetic aging as a way to improve health. As a result, we can finally treat and test aging with a single test. n this lecture series we will talk about the history of this new field, how many are using it, and the best ways to reverse epigenetic aging.
Curriculum
Every cell in the body has the same DNA, however, it is our cells’ epigenetic programming that gives our cells their individual phenotypes. Through new developments in computer learning, we now have a way to read these epigenetic markers as ways to predict disease and improve health. Perhaps no area of medicine has benefited more from these developments than the area of aging medicine. This is because there are amazingly accurate biological age measurements which can be used as an objective measure of the aging process and can successfully quantify the effect of age management interventions. In this lecture, we will discuss the new ways to read epigenetics for age related biomarkers.

While epigenetic age is a breakthrough therapy for preventative health, the benefits of methylation data exceed way beyond aging. In this lecture we will discuss how epigenetic methylation can give us insights on other aspects of aging such as the instantaneous rate of aging, telomere length through epigenetics, senescence, and stem cell depletion. We will also discuss where the field is going in the next 10 years and how it will change functional medicine.

As epigenetics research continues to expand to more accurately predict health, we are also learning about how to structure medical interventions to facilitate the best health changes for patients. In this lecture, we will discuss validated interventions to change epigenetic aging, epigenetic rate of aging, and other methylation loci.

Chris Turnpaugh is a skilled practitioner whose primary focus is on finding and addressing the root cause of disease. He graduated from LIfe College of Chiropractic and received his post-doctorate in functional neurology. His passion for functional medicine led him to open the Turnpaugh Health and Wellness Center in 1999. He has extensive experience in supporting patients who are dealing with chronic, autoimmune and neurological health conditions. He has a vast history of personal experience in supporting Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, Fragile X Syndrome and pediatric neurological conditions, thyroid disease, hormonal conditions and more. With over 25 years of clinical experience, he has started a program named “LIVEgevity” to maximize health potential in the aging population. He has been asked to consult with several national laboratories to further understand the value of testing relative to healthy aging. Dr. Turnpaugh teaches providers across the country about blood chemistry, the aging physiology, thyroid conditions, brain disorders and other functional medicine trainings. In his free time, Dr. Turnpaugh enjoys spending time outside, hiking, swimming, watching college football and spending time with his family, his wife, Heather, and their four children.
