Our Mission
OneTest for Longevity™ focuses on tracking inflammatory biomarkers and foods for healthy aging. Chronic inflammation contributes to 8 of the 10 leading causes of death including heart disease, stroke, many cancers, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, dementia, as well as depression, mood disorders, and even old-looking skin. Studies demonstrate that certain diet and lifestyle changes can lower chronic inflammation in even a few weeks, reducing your disease risk, improving appearance and extending your health span.
What Makes Our Test Different
A Unique Approach in the Longevity Market
Multiple longevity tests exist in the current market. Competing tests typically examine telomere length or gut microbiome composition. We focus on inflammation assessment due to the substantial evidence associating it with diseases related to aging.
The First Combined Testing Method
OneTest for Longevity is the first test to measure both inflammation-associated biomarkers and dietary habits to provide the most comprehensive, scientifically validated assessment of inflammatory status. This approach includes practical diet and lifestyle modifications that can be implemented immediately with observable changes within weeks.
Our Approach
We assess inflammatory status two different ways: (i) internal tracking through blood biomarkers, and (ii) dietary tracking through the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII). These two tracks are synergistic and scientifically interrelated since DII was developed, refined, and validated over 20 years based on how eating certain foods raises or lowers inflammatory biomarkers based on studies of tens of thousands of individuals.
Our combined, holistic approach—looking at biological and behavioral patterns—compensates for limitations of each method independently: inflammatory biomarker testing alone can be impacted by minor infections (e.g. a cold), injury (e.g. a sprained ankle) etc. while dietary tracking is subject to human error (people often forget what they ate).
Thus, combining your DII score with lab tests can enhance the predictive power for chronic diseases beyond either one alone.
Why the Combo Matters
What the Research Shows
- A large prospective study found that men with high DII scores had a 50% higher risk of first myocardial infarction, even after adjusting for traditional lab-based risk factors.
- Another study in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting showed that higher DII scores were associated with worse lab profiles — including higher triglycerides, hs-CRP, and lower HDL — and with higher surgical risk scores.
- These findings suggest that DII adds independent predictive value and may help identify at-risk individuals who appear low-risk based on labs alone.
