Your ideal protein, fat, and carb balance
How your body handles sugar, salt, caffeine, and alcohol
Vitamin and nutrient deficiencies you may be genetically prone to
Your exercise recovery needs and injury risk
How your genetics affect weight loss, satiety, and cravings

⏳ GlycanAge Testing- $499

Your True Biological Age—Measured at the Molecular Level

Aging isn’t just about the candles on your birthday cake—it’s about how your cells are functioning beneath the surface.

GlycanAge Testing is a cutting-edge blood test that measures the biological age of your immune system and overall inflammation status—two of the most powerful predictors of longevity and chronic disease.

This simple test provides a personalized, science-backed benchmark for your healthspan—and helps us tailor your lifestyle plan for maximum impact.

📊 What It Tells You:

Your biological (vs. chronological) age
Levels of chronic, low-grade inflammation ("inflammaging")
How your body is responding to stress, poor sleep, diet, and other lifestyle factors
Whether your current lifestyle is reversing or accelerating aging

Track your progress over time and see how smart lifestyle changes—like movement, fiber, stress reduction, and muscle building—can literally turn back the clock.

Ideal for patients in our aesthetic, longevity, or weight loss programs who want a deeper view of their metabolic and immune health.

FAQs

1. What is lifestyle medicine? Lifestyle medicine uses evidence-based, therapeutic lifestyle interventions—like nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and social connection—to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic conditions. At Icon Aesthetics, we pair this science-backed approach with aesthetic care, helping you feel and look your best.

2. What are the Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine? The Six Pillars are the foundation of long-term, evidence-based wellness. They are: Nutrition – Whole, mostly plant-based foods with a focus on fiber, protein, and anti-inflammatory nutrients Movement – Regular physical activity, especially resistance and functional training Sleep – Restorative, consistent sleep routines that support hormone balance and recovery Stress Management – Mind-body practices like mindfulness, breathwork, or gratitude to calm cortisol Social Connection – Supportive relationships that boost longevity and mental wellness Avoiding Risky Substances – Reducing alcohol, nicotine, and other behaviors that harm your health Our program weaves all six pillars into your plan—not just focusing on weight, but optimizing how you feel and function.

3. How do you evaluate my habits in all six areas? During your initial intake, we perform a comprehensive lifestyle medicine evaluation that includes: A full nutrition and eating behavior questionnaire Movement assessment (what you do now + what fits your life) Sleep quality and routine inventory Stress triggers and coping style Your social support system and isolation risk Current use of alcohol, tobacco, or other substances We use this 360° profile to tailor your program to your life—no cookie-cutter plans here.

4. What biometric tests are included in your program? We combine cutting-edge data with personal coaching. Our biometric assessments include: Resting Metabolic Rate (BMR) Metabolic Age Skeletal Muscle Mass Body Fat % and Visceral Fat Level Body Water Balance and BMI Tracking these metrics helps you understand what's really changing beneath the surface—not just the number on the scale.

5. How does lifestyle medicine support sustainable weight management? We help you: ✅ Build lean muscle mass to boost metabolism ✅ Optimize gut health for satiety and blood sugar regulation ✅ Set SMART goals for habit change ✅ Understand food as medicine—not just calories ✅ Address emotional and behavioral roots of eating Our approach is rooted in behavioral change science, not short-term fads. And the best part? Most patients say they feel better, stronger, and more confident—even before the number on the scale changes.

6. Why do I need a structured plan for weight loss and health? Because guesswork doesn’t work. There’s too much misinformation out there—from crash diets to TikTok trends. Our patients come to us overwhelmed by conflicting advice, unsure what truly works. We provide a clinical roadmap to health that includes: Clear goals and progress tracking Personalized plans based on your body’s data Accountability, education, and real results Integration with GLP-1 medications, if needed Your health deserves more than trial and error—it deserves a manual grounded in science.

7. Do you teach me how to self-monitor and make changes? Yes! We believe knowledge is power, but action creates results. You’ll learn: How to track your food, movement, and sleep (without becoming obsessive) What to look for in your biometric readings over time When to adjust your plan—and when to stay the course How to recognize plateaus and bust through them gently We help you become your own health detective and advocate.

8. Is this only for people on weight loss medications? Not at all. While many of our patients begin with GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, our Lifestyle Medicine program is built for anyone looking to improve their health, enhance their appearance, and extend their quality of life. Whether your goal is weight loss, better energy, or simply to age gracefully while looking and feeling your best, we’re here for it. Our program supports those who want to: Lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way Reverse chronic conditions like prediabetes, insulin resistance, or high blood pressure Improve energy, gut health, and hormonal balance Protect muscle mass and skin integrity during weight loss Enhance their GLOW—from the inside out This isn’t just about numbers on a scale—it’s about optimizing your healthspan, the number of years you live vibrantly, confidently, and radiantly. Whether you're on medication or not, we’re here to help you become your own health success story—and love what you see in the mirror along the way.

9. Can this help prevent the “Ozempic face” or post-weight loss sagging? Yes. Rapid weight loss can lead to skin laxity, facial volume loss, and a drawn appearance—especially without resistance training or adequate protein. We protect your glow by: Promoting slow, steady weight loss Recommending skin-supportive nutrients and lifestyle habits Preserving muscle tone with strength-based exercise Offering optional facial aesthetic support when needed Our signature approach helps you glow from the inside out, not fade away.

10. What if I’m not perfect—can I still succeed? Absolutely. Our motto is: “Progress, not perfection.” We teach you how to set: Small, achievable SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) Weekly habits that build confidence Long-term routines that feel second nature You’re not expected to overhaul everything overnight. We help you build momentum with tiny shifts that lead to big changes.

11. Do I need to be plant-based to join this program? Nope! While we advocate for a plant-predominant diet (for better gut health, fiber intake, and GLP-1 support), we respect all preferences. Our program includes: Both plant-based and animal-protein options Flexible meal planning Recipes you’ll actually enjoy—no weird ingredients or restriction vibes It’s not about rules—it’s about fueling a body you love to live in.
