Epigenetic and genetic testing
Your DNA is the key to identifying individual health risks, personalised treatments and the promotion of health, longevity and well-being.
Indication
Analysing your DNA not only helps us identify risk factors for disease, but also allows us to improve our treatments, guide behaviors and optimise environmental and lifestyle factors – to help you become the best version of yourself.
Diagnostics
We offer a range of genetic tests that enable us to provide you with personalised risk assessments and tailored nutritional advice. These tests analyse a wide range of genetic variations to assess disease risks and intolerances and enable preventative and corrective measures to be taken.
Through a deep understanding of the interplay between genetic predispositions and lifestyle preferences, we can, in collaboration with our Well-Being Partners, enable you to make informed choices that reduce the risk of disease and improve your quality of life and healthspan.
Epigenetic testing
With epigenetic testing, together with our Well-Being partners, we offer highly personalized preventive and corrective solutions. First, we measure how your environment and lifestyle affect your rate of ageing by calculating your biological age and youth capital through epigenetic analysis.
Preventive and corrective measures
The (epi)genetic analysis forms the basis for implementing and maintaining preventive and corrective measures tailored to your DNA so that you can proactively make positive adjustments to your lifestyle and reverse the effects of negative lifestyle choices and environmental factors.
For longevity and well-being
Although we cannot change your genetic make-up or stop the ageing process completely, we can influence your longevity and well-being by making objective and optimal decisions.
Together we strive to improve your health, longevity and well-being.

Frequently asked questions about epigenetic and genetic tests
Why is the decoding of DNA with genetic tests important?
Your DNA is the unique collection of genes you were born with. Your genetic code significantly influences your physical and mental functions at all levels. Genetic tests show which risk factors you have and how you tolerate food and medication.
What is nutrigenetics?
The development of various diseases is due to a combination of genetic and behavioural factors, especially dietary habits. Every person reacts differently to certain foods, which is due to unique genetic variations.
Certain dietary habits in combination with certain gene variants can increase the risk of diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis and autoimmune diseases. Nutrigenetics adapts nutrition to personal needs, helps prevent disease and promotes a healthier life.
What is NUTRIPASS®?
NUTRIPASS® provides comprehensive insights into different correlated gene variants for:
- Alcohol, caffeine and theine metabolism
- Lactose and gluten intolerances
- Cholesterol level
- Response to statins
- Homocysteine metabolism
- Vitamin D level
- Weight gain
- Detoxification
What is epigenetics?
Epigenetics investigates how environment and lifestyle influence which genes are active in our body – without changing the DNA itself. Factors such as diet, stress or sport can switch genes on or off and thus influence health, ageing and diseases. These interactions between genes and the environment are crucial for many aspects of health as well as for your physical and mental performance.
What are epigenetic tests?
Today, we can measure how diet, stress or exercise influence your genes and your biological age. The analysis can serve as the basis for strategies to improve your longevity and your physical and mental well-being.
What are epigenetic lifestyle profiles?
The epigenetic lifestyle profiles show the direct effects of certain lifestyle choices such as physical activity, diet, tobacco use and alcohol consumption on your DNA. Separate epigenetic signatures help determine the relative impact of these factors on your DNA and your biological age.
What is my biological age?
Biological age indicates how old your body is at a cellular level and reflects the actual state of health and the ageing process – regardless of chronological age. Measuring lifestyle profiles and biological age allows us to correct and reverse negative effects and risk factors through targeted interventions in collaboration with our Well-Being partners.
What is an epigenetic stress profile?
The epigenetic stress profile shows the effects of stress overload in various areas: Cardiovascular system, metabolism, immune system, mood and stress response. Prolonged stress significantly accelerates the aging process and impairs health, often leading to chronic disease and a decline in overall well-being. Identifying the molecular effects of stress overload opens the door for customized interventions aimed at mitigating the effects of stress.
How do the tests work?
The test requires a simple blood sample, which is taken at our practice. This sample is sent to a specialised laboratory where your (epi)genetic profile is analysed.
How long does it take to receive the results of the test?
The test results are delivered within 1 (ultra-fast track) to 5 weeks (standard track) after sampling.
How often should an (epi)genetic test be carried out?
A genetic test is carried out once, as the result does not change over time. An epigenetic test, on the other hand, is carried out before the start of a possible longevity treatment in order to obtain baseline values. Depending on lifestyle changes or health goals, the test can be repeated after a few months or years. Repeated testing allows for ongoing monitoring and provides insight into the lasting effects of the positive changes you are making towards a younger biological age.
Why do we have a holistic approach that goes beyond DNA testing?
Since not all health factors can be directly measured by genetic signatures, additional aspects such as pre-existing conditions, medical history, genetic predispositions, sleep habits, mental health and even the quality of interpersonal relationships need to be considered for a comprehensive assessment. These factors can either reduce or increase your youth capital.
How does our Better Ageing approach improve your youth capital?
Our evidence-based approach can help you to reduce your biological age. This allows you to invest directly in your youth capital and mitigate or reverse the effects of accelerated epigenetic ageing. Using genetic and epigenetic tests, we identify starting points to take proactive measures today. This allows you to improve your performance and prevent potential health problems or diseases as you age. We call this Better Aging.
