Glycans play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and are involved in various physiological processes. There is a correlation between glycans and cancer, as cancer cells use glycans to camouflage themselves from immune detection. Lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise, can impact glycan age and overall health. Personalized approaches to health are essential, as what works for one person may not work for another. Incorporating seasonal and local plant foods can support gut health and reduce chronic inflammation. Balancing exercise and biohacking practices is crucial to avoid chronic inflammation. Hormone replacement therapy can be effective in lowering biological age for individuals losing their hormones. Metformin may lower biological age, but its effectiveness varies depending on individual factors. Regular testing and monitoring are essential to track progress and make informed decisions. The GlycanAge test provides a long-term average of biological age and is responsive to lifestyle changes. The recommended frequency of testing depends on individual goals and the extent of lifestyle changes.   Keywords: glycan age testing, biological age, glycans, cell-to-cell communication, cancer, lifestyle choices, diet, exercise, personalized health, seasonal and local plant foods, biological age, lifestyle choices, balance, chronic inflammation, exercise, biohacking, hormone replacement therapy, metformin, testing, monitoring
