Epigenetic Test

An epigenetic test is an advanced biological analysis that helps evaluate how your genes function.

Your DNA sequence does not change throughout life. However, the speed and intensity at which your genes work are influenced by factors such as nutrition, stress, sleep, environmental exposures, and lifestyle. These regulatory mechanisms are called epigenetics.

Epigenetic tests aim to create a personalized health roadmap by analyzing the relationship between your genetic infrastructure and your biological tendencies.

These tests do not diagnose disease; however, they provide a scientific framework regarding your biological sensitivities and potential risk areas.

Epigenetic tests are performed for the following purposes:

• Assessing biological age
• Analyzing inflammation tendency
• Examining methylation capacity
• Understanding oxidative stress burden
• Identifying hormonal and metabolic sensitivities
• Evaluating the efficiency of vitamin and mineral utilization
• Analyzing genetic tendencies related to skin and hair health
• Assessing stress response and cortisol regulation

The aim is to create a personalized health plan instead of using the same approach for everyone.

Epigenetic tests are generally performed using a simple buccal swab sample taken from the inside of the cheek.

No blood draw is required. The procedure is painless and is completed within a few minutes.

The sample collected is sent to the laboratory, where genetic (SNP) analysis and epigenetic evaluation are performed.

The turnaround time is generally 3 to 4 weeks.

Epigenetic evaluation covers many biological systems. The main areas analyzed are:

1. Functional medicine assessment
   General metabolic status, vitamin-mineral balance, and biochemical tendencies are analyzed.
2. Epigenetic gene expression analysis
   Biological tendencies related to inflammation, detoxification capacity, stress response, and cellular aging are examined.
3. Methylation panel
   Methylation capacity related to cellular repair, DNA synthesis, and homocysteine balance is evaluated.
4. Biological age assessment
   The rate of cellular aging and biological age indicators are analyzed.
5. Oxidative stress analysis
   Free radical burden and antioxidant capacity are evaluated together with blood and urine tests.
6. Female and male hormonal panel
   Core hormonal systems such as cortisol, thyroid, insulin, estrogen, and testosterone are examined.
7. Hair and skin health analysis
   Collagen structure, inflammatory background, and micronutrient relationships are evaluated.
8. Inflammation panel
   Markers of chronic low-grade inflammation are analyzed.

These analyses are not interpreted individually, but together through a biological pathway-based approach.

The test results evaluate:

• Biological sensitivities
• Metabolic and hormonal tendencies
• Inflammation and oxidative stress status
• Rate of cellular aging
• Nutrition and supplement response profile

The results are interpreted by a specialist physician, and a personalized longevity plan is created.

This plan is supported with nutritional adjustment, supplement optimization, exercise planning, and stress and sleep regulation.

Epigenetic tests are not used for diagnostic purposes. They do not replace clinical decisions. However, they provide biological awareness and help develop personalized preventive health strategies.

The aim is not to intervene after disease develops, but to support healthy aging by preserving biological balance.

Supports that may be planned according to individual biomarker results:

• Omega-3
• Probiotics and prebiotics
• Glutamine
• Zinc
• Vitamin D
• Antioxidant support

The aim is to reduce inflammation and strengthen the gut barrier.
