Why should I take the test at all?

Iodine is the fuel for your thyroid gland. Without enough iodine, your metabolism can slow down – leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, or difficulty concentrating. It's especially important to check your iodine levels if you eat little seafood/seaweed, follow a vegan/vegetarian diet, are breastfeeding, or exercise a lot. The ORY iodine urine test provides a quick, practical assessment of your iodine levels. Best of all, you gain clarity about your iodine status – and can take targeted action before symptoms become chronic. Prevention begins with understanding your body.

What can I actually do with the results – what is the test good for?

Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 are produced from iodine – they regulate energy metabolism, temperature, cardiovascular function, brain function, and regeneration. Urine iodine levels reflect your current intake and help identify deficiencies or excesses. Based on the results, you can personalize your diet (fish, seaweed, iodized salt), supplements, and lifestyle. In functional medicine, we combine this marker with other biomarkers (e.g., selenium, inflammation or detoxification parameters) as needed to better understand causal chains and initiate targeted steps for energy, focus, and metabolism.

How does this test relate to my long-term health, prevention, and self-healing?

A balanced iodine status supports hormonal balance, cellular energy (mitochondria), and cognitive vitality – cornerstones of longevity. Early detection of imbalances prevents subsequent costs and chronic patterns. Your results empower you: you understand which factors truly matter and can adjust your diet, micronutrients, and routines based on evidence. Combined with the evi.plus app, you can track trends over time, evaluate measures, and thus strengthen your body's self-healing powers – individually, holistically, and sustainably.
