Ryan Smith has previously been
a guest on the show to teach us all about
peptides. Today he joins
me to talk about epigenetic aging, DNA testing, changes in the
market and new regulations for peptides, predictions, interventions
and individual diagnostics. This is a fascinating conversation for
me, as I put my body under a lot of stress during my career and am
always interested in longevity and living my best life. I hope you
enjoy it as much as I did, and please don’t hesitate to contact the
team at TruDiagnostic if you have any questions about the fascinating
things they are doing.
Ryan Smith graduated with a
degree in Biochemistry from the University of Transylvania. In that
time, he had multiple research internships, studying large scale
protein synthesis and physical chemistry. After graduation, he
attended medical school at the University of Kentucky for 2 years.
After finishing all the educational curriculum and passing USMLE
Step 1 he decided to leave and help open up a pharmacy in the
United States that focused on peptide synthesis and formulations
for pharmaceutical preparations. Since that time, Tailor Made
compounding has become the 4th fastest growing company in
healthcare and 21st fastest growing business in the US. Tailor Made
Compounding was the first pharmacy to offer an extensive list of
peptides in the US and continues research and expansion for the use
of these products for the integrative medicine
space.
Since then,
Ryan has opened many businesses including TruDiagnostic, a company
focusing on methylation array based diagnostics for life extension
and preventive healthcare.
