Standard blood tests barely scratch the surface.
Ryan Smith shares how TruDiagnostic’s TruAge & TruHealth tests use over 1,700 biomarkers from just a drop of blood to measure biological age, hormone health, immunity & more. Go beyond standard labs & start bioharmonizing with cutting-edge precision so you can make decisions that actually impact how you feel & age.
Meet our guest
Ryan Smith studied Biochemistry at Transylvania University before founding Tailor Made Compounding, which became one of the fastest-growing healthcare companies in the U.S. After exiting in 2020, he launched several ventures, including TruDiagnostic, a CLIA-certified lab specializing in methylation-based diagnostics for longevity & preventive health.
TruDiagnostic leads the field with one of the largest private epigenetic databases, over 13,000 patients, & active participation in 30+ clinical research studies. Ryan remains a key figure in advancing functional medicine through innovative health data solutions.
