- Emagene Life announces collaboration with TruDiagnostic and AGTC Genomics to introduce cutting-edge biological age and longevity testing to Malaysia, enhancing anti-aging services.
- This collaboration employs innovative, scientifically-backed methodologies, supported by highly qualified medical professionals, to improve ageing and lifespan.
- TruDiagnostic’s biological age diagnostic and analysis software will demonstrate the transformative impact of DNAm diagnostics in extending patients’ health span.
A groundbreaking advancement in health is now available in Malaysia, as Asia’s first biological age and longevity testing is introduced.
Emagene Life, Malaysia’s premier functional medicine and longevity centre, has partnered with TruDiagnostic, a leading company in biological age testing, and Professor Dr Chee-Onn Leong from AGTC Genomics. This collaboration aims to advance anti-aging and longevity services in Malaysia and the broader Asian region.
The partnership employs innovative and scientifically-backed approaches to address issues of ageing and lifespan, offering health plans supported by highly qualified medical professionals. Emagene Life distinguishes itself as the only centre adhering to functional medicine principles, with doctors fully trained by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). Notably, two of the three certified functional medicine doctors in Malaysia are from Emagene Life.
As for TruDiagnostic.com, some of its renowned clientele count celebrity socialite Kim Kardashian and sister Khloe, who, together with their mum Kris, have gone on to undertake the biological ageing test. Their results and the test’s diagnosis will be unravelled to viewers in the season finale of ‘The Kardashians’, which premiered on July 25, 2024. The Kardashians had learnt about this epigenetic marker when they attended a “Don’t Die” dinner hosted by Bryan Johnson, another famed and long-time client of TruDiagnostic.com, and who has documented efforts in reversing aging. Over the past year and a half, TruDiagnostic has focused on biological age testing, anti-aging, and aging prevention services, yielding proven outcomes.
Dr. Shirley Koeh, medical director and founder of Emagene Life, advocates a patient-centred methodology, offering clients the possibility of embracing a healthier, longer life through expertise in functional medicine. Dr. Koeh is one of IFM.org’s certified doctors at Emagene Life, alongside Dr. Irdina Aminuddin, the first Malaysian recipient of a full scholarship from the organisation.
“We hold steadfast to the principle that medical care should address the underlying root causes of poor health and suboptimal performance, by thoroughly understanding genetic, biological, and lifestyle factors. Building a healthy and strong body to prevent diseases is key. Functional medicine holds the future to progress beyond mere treatment and suppression of diseases,” says Dr. Shirley Koeh of Emagene Life.
“We are thrilled to partner with TruDiagnostic to help more people reverse their biological age, enabling them to live longer with vitality and vigour,” adds Ryan Smith, head of research and development at TruDiagnostic. “By increasing access to biological age and longevity testing, we can address ageing comprehensively and create optimised health plans to enhance longevity. This collaboration is a valuable addition to our advanced services, including bio-restorative therapy and personalised vitamins and supplements tailored to each patient’s needs.”
According to TruDiagnostic, accelerated biological ageing is the top predictor of chronic diseases. Modern medical interventions can slow, defy, or reverse this process, which is the expertise behind TruDiagnostic.
“We are excited to bring TruDiagnostic’s biological age software and analysis to Malaysia through this partnership with Emagene Life,” says Smith. “As one of the fastest-growing diagnostic platforms globally, DNA methylation (DNAm) holds immense potential. Emagene Life, a leader in functional medicine and longevity, is ideally suited to leverage this innovative technology with their laboratory partners in Malaysia to enhance patient care. This collaboration will highlight the transformative impact DNAm diagnostics can have on extending patients’ healthspan and lifespan.”
TruDiagnostic’s state-of-the-art technology provides epigenetic analysis and measures changes in patients’ ageing rates, offering accurate biological insights for informed medical decisions on anti-aging and wellness journeys. Utilising a science-first approach and collaborating with leading biotech developers and researchers, TruDiagnostic is a trusted source of epigenetic data grounded in evidence and research.
