Your inherited blueprint — SNP and polygenic risk patterns, pharmacogenomic signatures, detox and inflammatory genes.

The Biological Audit® · Foundational Diagnostic Program
A physician-led, systems-biology evaluation developed by Anil Bajnath, MD. It maps your current state of health, your aging trajectory, and the biological risk that routine bloodwork leaves invisible.
CancerCheck screening and advanced imaging are optional additions, billed separately through the lab or partner facility. They complement, and do not replace, guideline-recommended cancer screening such as mammography and colonoscopy.
What Happens
Four steps, roughly two months end to end. Most of that is laboratory time — whole genome sequencing and multi-omic analysis cannot be rushed without compromising what they tell us.
You meet with Anil Bajnath, MD to review your history, your goals, and what you want the data to answer. Together you determine which program fits.
Collection is matched to your panel. Some programs need a single blood draw; others require several visits or additional sample types such as saliva. Elite and Concierge members can have collection arranged at their home, their place of work, or another convenient location within thirty miles of our office.
The laboratory processes your specimen while Dr. Bajnath builds your threat map and hallmarks profile, reading every result against your history rather than a population reference range.
You sit down with Dr. Bajnath and walk through the findings in full — what is stable, what is compensating, what needs attention now — and leave with your detailed report, your precision plan, and your digital twin.
Elite and Concierge continue from here with ongoing testing, monitoring, and recalibration. The Biological Audit® on its own concludes with your report and plan.
From Insight to Intervention
The Biological Audit® is not a report. It is a roadmap. Once we have mapped your biomarkers, multi-omic signatures, and hallmarks of aging, we translate those findings into a precise, individualized strategy designed to improve your trajectory of health.
This is where data becomes medicine.
Steps 1 through 3 complete the Biological Audit®. Steps 4 and 5 continue with Elite or Concierge.
What It Is
Most evaluations look at the body one symptom or one lab panel at a time. The Biological Audit® looks at how your systems behave together — how metabolism informs hormones, how immune activity shapes your aging trajectory, how gut and mitochondria influence cognition, how genes and environment interact over years.
Anil Bajnath, MD built it across a decade of treating complex metabolic, inflammatory, and age-related conditions, drawing on the systems-biology frameworks he teaches at George Washington University. He personally oversees every audit, so each data point is read against your physiology, your history, and your goals.
What We Measure
Two views of the same biology. First how your organ systems are performing, then the molecular layers underneath that explain why.
Organ systems
Molecular data layers
Foundational layer
Your inherited blueprint — SNP and polygenic risk patterns, pharmacogenomic signatures, detox and inflammatory genes.
Biological aging
DNA methylation patterns and biological age estimates showing how lifestyle and exposure have shaped gene expression.
Real-time activity
mRNA expression trends, cellular stress responses, and immune activation patterns reflecting how your cells are responding now.
Signaling layer
Cytokines, growth and repair factors, and vascular proteins that reveal inflammation and nutrient-sensing activity.
Metabolic function
Organic acid profiling, mitochondrial efficiency markers, and fatty acid balance — a biochemical fingerprint of your metabolism.
Gut ecosystem
Microbial diversity, dysbiosis and barrier integrity, and the metabolites your gut ecosystem produces.
Life exposures
Environmental and toxin burden, stress and sleep impact, and circadian influences accumulated over time.
Clinical expression
Body composition, performance metrics, organ function, and hormone metabolite data — how the layers above show up in you.
Not a complete list. Your history, goals, and risks determine which systems and layers we emphasize within your Biological Audit®.
“When we understand your biology at the molecular, cellular, and systems level, we can intervene early, precisely, and meaningfully. That is the future of medicine and the purpose of the Biological Audit.”
Biological Age
Rather than reducing you to a single biological age number, we evaluate each of the twelve recognized hallmarks of aging against your multi-omic and clinical data — identifying which processes are stable, which are compensating, and which have begun to accelerate.
What We Find
The outcome is not more data. It is a map of the biological threats that matter most to your health, performance, and aging — six domains, each reported on the same three-point scale.
This map becomes the foundation for your strategy — what to address first, what to protect, and how to move from compensation to optimization.
Investment
The Biological Audit® is the diagnostic physical exam of the future. Where the annual checkup looks at a handful of surface markers, the Audit reads your biology across multiple omic layers — genomic, epigenetic, proteomic, metabolomic, and microbial — interpreted together by a physician and translated into a precision plan. Every program begins with a consultation, and capacity is deliberately limited.
Beyond the annual physical
A standard exam measures roughly a dozen values. The Audit evaluates thousands of data points across systems that interact.
Multiomic by design
Genome, epigenome, proteome, metabolome, and microbiome are read as one integrated picture rather than isolated reports.
Measured, not inferred
Every recommendation traces back to a measured value, and every value is re-measurable so change can be tracked over time.

Request a consultationAn "ome" is a complete set of one type of biological molecule. Multiomics is the integrated analysis of several of those layers at once — the genome (your DNA sequence), the epigenome (chemical marks that regulate which genes are switched on), the proteome (the proteins your cells are actually producing), the metabolome (the small molecules produced by metabolism), and the microbiome (the bacterial populations in your gut). Each layer answers a different question: your genome describes predisposition, while your metabolome and proteome describe what is happening right now. Analyzed in isolation, they are separate reports. Analyzed together, patterns emerge across layers that no single test can show.
Learn more about our scienceYes. Advanced omic testing is included in your audit. The fee also covers physician time, interpretation, and program design. Optional add-on testing and imaging are billed separately.
No. The Biological Audit and Biological Audit Elite are complete one-time evaluations. The Ongoing Optimization Membership is an optional continuation for those who want quarterly re-measurement and physician-guided adjustment, and it is priced separately.
Each program requires direct physician time for interpretation, strategy, and ongoing adjustment. Concierge is capped at fifty patients per year so that level of attention remains possible. Audit and Elite open as capacity allows.
