01 / THE MEASUREMENT
What does it measure?
Understand why an age estimate and a pace-of-aging measure answer different questions.
ANNUAL CES EDUCATION MEMBERSHIP

A result raises questions.
Start with understanding.
Build a foundation for reading the evidence and discussing what an epigenetic measurement can tell you.
02 / THE EVIDENCE
What supports the result?
Explore the research behind the measurement and the context in which it was studied.
03 / THE PERSPECTIVE
Where are the limits?
Keep the evidence and its limitations visible when considering potential applications.

Before you decide.
Is this a course or a membership?
You enroll in an annual CES membership. Course and forum access are included for one year.
Can I learn on my own schedule?
Yes. The course is online and self-paced.
Is this relevant to nutrition professionals?
The education addresses the science of methylation and biological aging for interested health professionals. Suitability for your learning goals and eligibility for professional credit are separate questions. Review the curriculum and the providerâs credit requirements before enrolling.
Will the course tell me how to treat a patient?
The course explores concepts, research and faculty perspectives. A test result or educational course alone does not establish a treatment decision; interpretation depends on the evidence and clinical context.
THE SOCIETY
A place for learning
and informed discussion.
The Clinical Epigenetic Society brings education and professional discussion to the evolving field of clinical epigenetics.
RESEARCH & COLLABORATION
Keep the inquiry going.
