Epigenetic Testing

TruDiagnostic Epigenetic Testing — Biological Age | SomneX Health

TruDiagnostic — Your Biological Age, Revealed.

Standard bloodwork tells you where your health stands today. TruDiagnostic tells you how fast you are aging at the cellular level and why. Using whole-genome DNA methylation analysis, TruDiagnostic measures 180+ biomarkers across biological age, aging speed, functional health, inflammation, nutrition, hormones, and more.

SomneX Health now offers TruDiagnostic testing as part of our precision longevity and hormone optimization practice ordered via telehealth and completed from a simple at-home finger-prick blood spot.

The Science

What Is Epigenetic Testing?

Your DNA is your blueprint it does not change. But epigenetics is the layer on top of it that controls which genes get turned on or off. These signals, called DNA methylation patterns, are shaped by your lifestyle, environment, stress, diet, sleep, and age.

TruDiagnostic reads these methylation patterns from a single dried blood spot across more than one million DNA sites providing a precise, stable picture of how your body is actually functioning at the cellular level, not just what you inherited.

Unlike serum labs that fluctuate day to day, epigenetic biomarkers reflect long-term biological trends. This makes them highly reproducible and clinically meaningful for tracking the impact of interventions over time.

Why Epigenetics Matters

Epigenetics determines approximately 80% of health outcomes — genetics only 20%
Epigenetic biomarkers outperform traditional labs in disease prediction by 62% (Harvard & TruDiagnostic)
Biological age is a stronger predictor of health outcomes than calendar age
Aging speed (DunedinPACE) is the strongest individual predictor of all-cause mortality
Results track meaningful changes from interventions — diet, supplements, hormones, sleep

"Epigenetic testing gives us a precise biological measurement to validate what we are doing — and to personalize care in a way that standard bloodwork simply cannot."

The Tests

Choose the Right Panel for Your Goals

TruDiagnostic offers three testing options. All are completed from a simple at-home finger-prick dried blood spot — no phlebotomy visit required.

TruAge

Measure how fast you are aging

75+ epigenetic biomarkers across biological age, aging speed, and organ-specific aging for 11 body systems including brain, heart, liver, immune, and musculoskeletal.

TruHealth

Decode your body's functional health

110+ epigenetic biomarkers across nutrition, vitamins, inflammation, metabolic health, toxin burden, mitochondrial function, NAD+ metabolism, stress markers, and more.

Recommended

TruAge + TruHealth Combination Kit

The complete picture — aging and root-cause health

180+ biomarkers combining both panels. One test, one sample, your full aging trajectory and the biology driving it. Recommended for most patients as a comprehensive longevity baseline.

The Process

How It Works

01

Telehealth Consultation

You meet with Charissa Phillips, APRN, FNP-C, ABAAHP via telehealth to discuss your health goals, current symptoms, and which TruDiagnostic panel is right for you. A test kit is ordered.

02

At-Home Sample Collection

Your TruDiagnostic kit arrives by mail. A simple finger-prick dried blood spot is all that is needed — no lab visit, no phlebotomy, no fasting. You mail the sample back in the prepaid envelope.

03

Epigenetic Analysis

TruDiagnostic's CLIA-certified laboratory analyzes over one million DNA methylation sites using validated algorithms backed by 50+ peer-reviewed publications and the world's largest epigenetic database.

04

Results Review & Protocol

Your results are reviewed with you in a follow-up telehealth appointment. Charissa will walk through your biological age, aging speed, and key biomarkers and build a personalized intervention plan targeting your highest-priority findings.

Ideal Candidates

Who Benefits Most from TruDiagnostic Testing?

Adults optimizing a longevity or hormone protocol who want objective data
Patients whose standard labs come back normal but who still do not feel right
Anyone starting hormone therapy, peptides, or a new supplement protocol
Individuals with unexplained fatigue, weight gain, or cognitive changes
Those with a family history of early aging, cardiovascular disease, or metabolic disease
Patients who want a precise biological baseline before making lifestyle changes
Anyone seeking to track the impact of interventions over time with repeat testing

Pricing & Access

TruDiagnostic testing is available as a self-pay service and is eligible for FSA/HSA reimbursement in most cases. Testing is not currently covered by insurance.

All testing is ordered via a telehealth consultation with Charissa Phillips, APRN. Your kit ships directly to your home — no in-office visit required.

Clinical Notes

Results are intended to support, not replace, clinical judgment and conventional labs
Repeat testing every 6–12 months allows you to track the impact of your protocol
Results are reviewed with you in a follow-up telehealth appointment
TruDiagnostic operates in a CLIA-certified laboratory
