Specialty Testing Guide › TruHealth Micronutrient Testing
If you live in or around Philadelphia, you can get TruHealth through YoungerMeMD's clinic in Conshohocken, Montgomery County. You start with an assessment, in person at the office or by telehealth if you are located in Pennsylvania, and the clinician decides with you whether TruHealth adds anything useful.
If it does, the test is a $375 add-on at checkout. Your results are then reviewed with a clinician and turned into a plan, either at the office or over a Pennsylvania telehealth visit.
Key takeaways
- Everything starts with an assessment at the Conshohocken office or by video for Pennsylvania residents.
- The test is optional and is chosen with your clinician, not ordered by default.
- The sample is a finger prick you do at home, and any blood test needed to confirm a result goes through our office.
- Results come back as methylation-based estimates that your clinician reads alongside your standard labs.
- If you live outside Pennsylvania and cannot come in, or you need a single nutrient checked, there are better routes.
Where we are and who we see
YoungerMeMD is at 125 East Elm Street, Suite 201, Conshohocken, PA 19428, just outside Philadelphia. Patients come from Montgomery County, the Main Line, Greater Philadelphia and the wider Delaware Valley. The areas we serve page lists the communities in more detail.
Visits can be in person in Conshohocken or virtual. Telehealth visits are only for patients located in Pennsylvania, so if you live in New Jersey or Delaware, plan to come to the office.
How it works, step by step
- 1. Book an assessment. You choose the $599 Peptide Assessment or the $724 Hormone Assessment on the payment page. Specialty tests such as TruHealth ($375) appear there as optional add-ons at checkout, and most patients start without them.
- 2. Assessment. A full review of your symptoms, history and baseline labs, in Conshohocken or by Pennsylvania telehealth.
- 3. Choosing tests. As a member, your clinician recommends the tests that fit your situation, no more and no less. If TruHealth was not part of your checkout and turns out to fit, ask our team how to add it.
- 4. Results visit. Your clinician walks you through the report and builds a medical, nutritional and lifestyle plan. Interpretation and planning are included in membership.
The sample and the timeline
TruHealth is an at-home kit. TruDiagnostic describes TruHealth as using a small finger-prick blood sample on a dried blood spot card.1 Each kit has its own barcode, registration and card, so if you are also doing TruAge with a separate kit, register both and fill the card in each box; ask our team how your order is set up. A flagged estimate is confirmed with a standard diagnostic blood test before any major medical or high-dose supplement change. If your clinician wants that confirming test, that test is ordered through our office and billed by the clinic, and the clinic offers at-home blood draws.
The lab's estimate for results is about 21 days from when it receives your sample, and the kit usually takes a few days to get there. For any preparation, such as whether to pause supplements before sampling, follow the kit instructions and ask our team if anything is unclear.
What you will get back
TruHealth reports about 80 markers as percentiles compared with a reference population.2 Those numbers are predictions made from DNA methylation, not measured nutrient levels, and TruDiagnostic states its outputs should not be the sole basis for diagnosis or treatment decisions.1 At your results visit, expect your clinician to separate broad patterns from single flags and to confirm anything that could change treatment. Our guide on how to read a TruHealth report shows what the pages look like.
Who should go elsewhere
- You need urgent care. Chest pain, fainting, severe weakness, black stools or sudden numbness need emergency care, not a nutrient panel. Call 911.
- You have one specific question. If you suspect low iron, B12 or vitamin D, ask your primary care clinician for the standard blood test. TruHealth does not estimate iron or B12.
- You are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Supplement decisions belong with your prenatal care team, and vitamin A in particular needs care.3
- The test is for a child. The clinic does not see patients under 18; start with the pediatrician.
- You live outside Pennsylvania and cannot visit. Telehealth with the clinic is limited to patients located in Pennsylvania.
Next step: book or ask
To go ahead, choose an assessment and add TruHealth at checkout on the payment page. Testing is self-pay through the clinic; ask our team about receipts for your own insurer or HSA. Questions first? Contact our team or call (215) 892-1230. The TruHealth hub has the full series.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to come to Conshohocken?
Not necessarily. If you are located in Pennsylvania, your assessment and results visit can be by telehealth, and TruHealth itself is an at-home finger-prick kit.
Can I bring results from another lab?
Yes. Outside lab results are accepted. Upload recent bloodwork to the patient portal for review at your first visit, because your clinician reads TruHealth alongside it.
What should I bring to my assessment?
Bring a list of your medicines and supplements with doses, or photos of the labels, plus any recent bloodwork and your main questions. That lets your clinician judge whether TruHealth would add anything beyond what you already know.
What happens after the results visit?
Members have 3 to 4 in-person or virtual visits a year plus support between visits, so your plan can be adjusted as you go. If a TruHealth estimate needed confirming, the standard blood test result is reviewed too. Membership is not required for a results review with your assessment, but treatment starts once you join membership.
How soon can I start?
Booking starts with the assessment on the payment page. For current appointment availability, ask our team. Once the lab receives your kit, its estimate for results is about 21 days.
