Novos Founder Chris Mirabile on How to Slow One’s Biological Age
The longevity-focused biotech company founder spoke to Athletech News about best practices to increase one’s lifespan using technology
Novos, the longevity-focused biotech company, was founded by Chris Mirabile, whose passion for longevity came from a brain tumor diagnosis during his teenage years.
“Though I’d always been interested in nutrition and fitness, that experience shifted my perspective and encouraged me to view health through a longevity-driven mindset,” Mirabile told Athletech News. The Novos founder developed a new approach to health that led to him slowing his biological pace of aging by 37%, which he said was verified by multiple third-party tests.
“I’ve chronicled this journey on my blog, SlowMyAge.com, sharing my experiments with lifestyle strategies aimed at avoiding disease and slowing aging,” Mirabile explained. “Over time, the blog became a resource for others exploring their own longevity paths.”
This experience laid the groundwork for Novos, which offers supplements like Core, Vital, and Boost, as well as the blood-based Novos Age test. Last year, the company also released Novos Life, a free mobile app that features an AI-based biological age test.
“Most biological age tests are either prohibitively expensive or inaccessible to the average person,” Mirabile noted. “We wanted to change that by offering a free, highly accurate, survey-based biological age test built on AI-driven Enabl Age technology.” Developed by Professor Su-In Lee at the University of Washington and overseen by longevity expert Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, the test incorporates aging mechanisms that can be missed by other models.
“While it’s not as precise as our blood-based Novos Age test, which uses the DunedinPACE clock, Novos Life’s biological age test offers a valuable entry point for engaging with longevity science without financial barriers,” he added.
The app offers more than just biological age testing. “We designed Novos Life to be a comprehensive longevity companion,” Mirabile explained. Users can access personalized longevity profiles, lifestyle scores, community rankings, and daily actionable recommendations. The app also features a longevity-trained AI chat capable of answering a wide range of health and wellness questions.
“Most of the interventions Novos Life suggests are free and accessible,” Mirabile said. “In an industry dominated by expensive gadgets and treatments, it was important for us to provide a resource that encourages actionable, evidence-based longevity practices without added financial pressure.”
To increase longevity, while Mirabile prioritizes nutrition, fitness, and sleep, he also emphasizes lesser-known factors such as stress relief, strong social connections, and community engagement.
“Recent studies show that up to 90% of our health outcomes are determined by lifestyle and environment,” Mirabile noted. “This means that anyone—regardless of genetics or financial circumstances—can take meaningful steps to improve their healthspan.”
Mirabile’s goal with Novos Life is to simplify longevity science and make it attainable for all. “I want people to know they don’t need to spend exorbitant amounts to see results,” he shared. “Most of my own core habits are simple and replicable, and I hope to inspire others to adopt similar practices.”
