I just upgraded my annual blood test with FOXO Primer and got more than I imagined. Because of an autoimmune issue, I’ve had to do more “understanding” of my blood tests than most people, who often look at ranges, underlines, and move on. My annual tests were already more than standard packages, and I had learned to understand inflammation trackers and other markers earlier than I would have liked :) But I knew there was more to know. The challenge was that going beyond standard or expanded tests was either too expensive, too fragmented, or missing the most important layer: someone looking at everything holistically and giving advice that worked across systems. Over the last few years, this has changed globally. Access to extensive biomarker testing has become easier, cheaper, and increasingly paired with medical professionals who know how to correlate results. FOXO brought this to India with FOXO Primer, a comprehensive 200 biomarker assessment that combines clinical history, system-level analysis, and practical guidance to help you understand how your body is functioning and what you can do to improve it. I was genuinely impressed by the overall experience. We invested in FOXO at the founding stage because we had been clear on this opportunity for a while. But hearing founder Subhendu’s personal journey of “fixing his health”, the journey that led to FOXO, made the mission feel even more real. Nothing drives mission orientation like a personal story, and I could relate to his too. I believe the future of preventive healthcare will be driven by companies like FOXO: helping us understand our health earlier, act sooner, and hopefully avoid many reactive doctor visits later. Think of them as our future “pre-GPs.” Worth exploring if you’ve been curious but sitting on the sidelines: foxo.club/primer

In traditional healthcare, if your test results aren’t too high or too low, you’re told you’re fine. We equate ‘normal range’ with ‘healthy’, assuming all is well. But ‘normal’ is a statistical construct. It reflects the middle 95% of values from a reference population.

The most important rule of life is that there are exceptions to every rule. Got to keep seeking.

Often when I feel that I don't have time for something, I realise that I actually don't have the space for it. And while I may never understand it, it helps me grasp a bit of the space-time theory.

It's a weird feeling when a brand I'm fond of raises VC money. I feel excited for them, but too often the quality goes down.

One more factor to consider is the source of red meat, or what it was fed. A big problem with our food (meat or vegetables, milk or eggs) is how it is grown.

It means to have remained biologically younger than your chronological age. Think of the last time you met someone who seemed more active than their actual age. What is chronological age? What’s biological age? Why are we fixated on the wrong one? Your chronological is the number of candles on your cake on your last birthday, the number on your driving license or, the difference between the current year and your birth year. It’s a fact. Apart from being useful in government documentation or insurance premium calculation, the chronological age is just a number. It’s the biological age that matters. It is a reflection of how well the body is functioning, relative to its chronological age. And that’s influenced by genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors and your pace of ageing. Your biological age can also be measured. It is a number. And you can change what you can measure. But, the calculation is not simple. It is determined by how the body is functioning which means each system and biochemical pathway has its own ageing mechanism and clock. Carlos Lopez wrote a seminal paper on Hallmarks of Ageing in 2013. The entire scientific community now understands how animals & humans are ageing. Some of the popular blocks based on the hallmarks/biomarkers of ageing have been developed and are available as a D2C diagnostic tool.  Some of those are – 𝐆𝐥𝐲𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐀𝐠𝐞: Provides immune and inflammation insights related to immune dysfunction and nutrient sensing. Epigenetic Clocks: Based on DNA methylation, covers multiple hallmarks like genomic instability, epigenetic alterations, and inflammation. Telomere Length Clock: Measures cellular aging directly through telomere shortening. Each clock has its own significance and gives you an idea of how the internal biology is performing in your body. Good news is that these clocks are sensitive to lifestyle changes like nutrition based on personalization, movement and exercise, supplementation. It’s why we can change and impact it. How? You start by picking one or a combination of these clocks along with your blood biomarkers. Understand your current situation. Build a personalised protocol and implement those lifestyle changes. Measure again. 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 -> 𝐀𝐜𝐭 -> 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 ->𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭. P.S. This is also a glimpse of what @FOXOclub is creating for its members. Just 100x more detailed.
