Epigenetics | Healthy Aging

A drop of blood from your finger shows how lifestyle, stress and environment leave epigenetic traces in your genes — and how they affect healthy ageing.

Sample typeCapillary blood (bloodspot)
MethodDNA-Methylierungsanalyse
Turnaround7–21 days from sample arrival
AnalysisPartner laboratory in Germany
Evaluation usually takes 7–21 days from the arrival of your sample at the laboratory, not from the order date. We let you know as soon as your results are in.
  • Molecular insight DNA methylation patterns of relevant genes show how lifestyle and environment affect gene expression
  • Analysed in the partner laboratory Evaluation against the laboratory’s reference ranges
  • Sample collection at home A quick finger prick, no doctor's visit needed
  • Results consultation included 15 minutes of free discussion of your result

Principle

Measure first, then decide

Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn the order around: the lab report first, then the decision.

A consultation to make sense of the values
  1. 01
    Measure DNA methylation patterns from a drop of capillary blood, analysed in the partner laboratory in Germany.

    See where you stand Every value is in the lab report with the lab's reference range. You can see which values sit inside it and which do not.

ORY experts stay with you

Doctors and Heilpraktiker from the ORY team are there for you the whole way — with your lab report and with whatever follows.

Initial consultation

What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.

Details

What is in this analysis

What is measured

DNA methylation patterns of genes linked with healthy ageing — shaped by stress, diet, sleep and exercise.

H612 DNA methylation Epigenetic changes in relevant genes, as an objective assessment beyond chronological age

The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.

To the biomarker reference

For whom

Epigenetics | Healthy Ageing suits anyone looking for an objective assessment beyond chronological age — for example as part of a longevity or prevention plan, or to understand how lifestyle factors such as stress, diet and exercise act at the molecular level.

What a single value means in your situation is something you discuss with a practitioner. This does not replace medical assessment.

How it works

Four steps from order to lab report.

  1. 01 Kit arrives Ships the next working day, postage paid to your door.
  2. 02 Take the bloodspot A quick finger prick, 3–5 drops onto the pre-punched field, leave to dry for 45–60 minutes.
  3. 03 Send it in Labelled, in the foil packaging with the request form.
  4. 04 Get your lab report 7–21 days after the sample arrives, with a consultation if you want one.

Instructions

The key points first:

  • Warm the hand well first, clean the finger with an alcohol swab and let it dry.
  • Put 3–5 drops of blood onto the pre-punched field of the bloodspot card and leave to air-dry for 45–60 minutes.
  • Send it labelled, in the foil packaging with the request form.

Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters: it is what allows your sample — stool, urine, saliva or blood — to be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Family and partner diagnostics

Testing together shows connections that a single analysis does not make visible. We need three things for that.

Clear details per person For everyone being tested we need a name and date of birth so the laboratory can match everything correctly.
A separate email address Each person needs their own email for secure digital access. Where that is not possible, we send the results as a PDF to one shared address.
Clear labelling Samples and forms must each be assigned to exactly the right person.

From three tests of the same analysis for the family you get 10 % off. Write to us and you will receive your own discount code.

Reimbursement by private health insurance

This is how it works with us if your private insurance may reimburse you:

01 A short online conversation with one of our therapists We go through your symptoms and take a brief medical history.
02 A referral for the matching lab tests After the conversation you receive a referral that you can submit to your private insurer.

Many private insurers cover the cost in full or in part – some not at all. That depends entirely on your policy. We support you through the process as best we can.

Which product suits you, and in what amount, is something you discuss with a practitioner after your lab report. This page recommends nothing.
