8. Epigenetic Age Tests
Epigenetic age tests determine what your epigenetic (biological) age is, compared to your chronological age. Our biological age reflects the actual state of our bodies and encompasses factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environmental influences. This can be incredibly insightful because it shows us how our current lifestyle choices are positively or negatively impacting our health. Likewise, the feedback can help us improve our health and lower our biological age. An epigenetic age test is a great longevity gift, especially for biohackers who love metrics, numbers, and quantifying things.
Novos Age Test

TruDiagnostic even provides a free 30-minute epigenetic consult to review your test results with you and help you create a personalized health plan to optimize your lifestyle for aging.
Cost: $499
9. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) make excellent longevity gifts by offering real-time insights into blood sugar levels.

January.ai is a CGM and artificial intelligence (AI) health coach. Unlike other CGM subscriptions, you only need to wear January once because January’s AI technology provides ongoing glucose estimates, insights, and predictions after a 14 day calibration period of wearing the device. January provides a custom health plan based on the goals you set up in the app and supports you in achieving those goals by providing daily targets to manage your glucose, sleep, and gut health, such as by suggesting food replacements and scheduling exercise breaks. In order to use January, members are required to have an activity tracker to support the AI in making accurate predictions. January is compatible with Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Oura Ring.
Cost: $288 for the first month, $28/month thereafter
10. Physical Recovery Devices
Physical recovery devices such as massage devices and compression therapy devices promote muscle recovery and blood circulation, allowing people to get back to their next workout fully recovered.
