At Bliss MD, we go beyond traditional health metrics. With advanced DNA methylation testing, you’ll uncover how fast your body is truly aging—at the cellular level. Backed by cutting-edge epigenetic science, this test gives you the blueprint to optimize your longevity, vitality, and disease prevention strategies.
What Is DNA Methylation Testing?
DNA methylation refers to tiny chemical changes that influence how your genes express themselves. These patterns shift with age, stress, and lifestyle—making them powerful indicators of your true biological age. At Bliss MD, we partner with TruDiagnostic, a leading U.S.-based epigenetic lab, to analyze over 850,000 methylation sites from a simple blood sample.
You’ll get a comprehensive report showing how old your body “acts,” how fast it’s aging, and which biological systems may need support—far beyond what a typical physical or blood test can reveal.

What Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
What is biological age vs. chronological age?
Chronological age is your actual age in years. Biological age reflects how fast your body is aging based on DNA methylation markers.
Is DNA methylation testing better than telomere testing?
Yes. It’s more predictive, research-backed, and provides more actionable health data.
Is the test painful?
No. It only requires a simple blood draw or finger-prick.
Can I really reverse my biological age?
Yes. Scientific evidence shows that with the right interventions, you can reduce biological age through peptides, hormones, NAD+, and lifestyle optimization.
