Practitioners in Canada often use blood biomarker testing as a method to identify disease or condition indicators within your body. Blood biomarker testing can help your practitioner assess your risk for developing certain types of diseases.

These blood lab tests can empower you to take preventative measures against these conditions, as well as make early interventions if signs or symptoms begin to appear. It can also be beneficial in helping your practitioner diagnose conditions as early as possible.

Not only that, blood biomarker testing is an invaluable tool for identifying opportunities to optimize your overall health strategies and habits, so that you can maximize longevity in the future.

Together, these insights can make it easier for your practitioner to find effective short- and long-term treatment options to manage certain conditions, which could otherwise begin impacting your quality of life.

There are a number of different health factors that blood marker testing demonstrates. Markers can show changes happening in your body, help diagnose or monitor conditions that are developing, evaluate and track your organ function, as well as determine how effectively treatments are working.

Some of the different longevity biomarker tests in Canada that can be performed through Felix include:

• Vitamin and mineral deficiency blood tests, such as ferritin (iron-storage levels)
• Heart health blood tests (i.e., cardiovascular risks, blood cholesterol test kits, etc.)
• Metabolic health, including diabetes and prediabetes screenings
• Kidney and liver health testing

Over all, these longevity biomarkers can provide useful insights about what your biological age is, and if there are any opportunities to further optimize your health. This can be an invaluable resource for your practitioner to provide you with a preventative health assessment that’s uniquely catered to your personalized needs.

This really depends on the tier of blood biomarker testing that you’re choosing, because it will vary by each tier.

In most cases, biomarker blood testing is very accurate, especially when it's reviewed by your practitioner alongside other important clinical information (i.e., your medical history, etc.).

It is important to remember that in-person or at-home lab tests like biomarker testing in Canada only provide a snapshot of your current health status. Ongoing testing may be required to oversee a condition that has already presented and requires treatment or management.

In order to request a longevity blood test, you will need to chat with a practitioner. The healthcare practitioners at Felix have the knowledge and experience in order to guide you through your results and your treatment plan based on your unique needs, goals, and lifestyle.

At Felix, we test up to 43 essential biomarkers to monitor your heart, kidney, and liver health, vitamin and nutrient balance, inflammation and more. See all markers here.

As part of your longevity results, you’ll also receive your biological age alongside your blood biomarker lab results. We use Levine’s Phenotypic Age to calculate this, which is a measure of biological age blood markers that were developed by Dr. Morgan Levine and their colleagues.

To determine your biological age, we combine 9 common clinical biomarkers, including:

• Albumin
• Creatinine
• Glucose
• C-reactive proteins
• Several other blood cell measurements

Using a mathematical model, this information is combined along with your actual age to calculate your biological age. We also test a range of longevity biomarkers for your heart, kidney, and liver health, as well as vitamin and nutrient balances.

Together, all this information gives your practitioner the information they need to provide you with a preventative health assessment, as well as recommendations on lifestyle changes that can help you live longer and healthier.
