Book Your PRIME ProfileOVERVIEW
The Longevity Panel is an advanced blood analysis that measures biomarkers associated with biological aging, chronic inflammation, metabolic resilience, and long-term disease risk. While a standard health check tells you whether you are sick today, the Longevity Panel reveals how your biology is aging and whether the trajectory can be improved.
The WunderLife Longevity Panel includes markers across several categories. Inflammatory aging markers include high-sensitivity CRP, homocysteine, and interleukin-6. Metabolic health markers cover fasting insulin, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, and fasting glucose. Cardiovascular risk markers include advanced lipid panel with LDL particle size, Lp(a), and ApoB. Cellular aging indicators encompass NAD+ levels, glutathione status, and CoQ10. Organ function markers cover liver enzymes, kidney function, and thyroid function.
At WunderLife in Bad Vilbel, near Frankfurt, Dr. med. Desirée Grawunder uses the Longevity Panel to look beyond conventional reference ranges. Standard lab ranges define normal as the middle 95% of the population, but the population includes people in various stages of declining health. WunderLife interprets results against optimal ranges associated with healthy aging and disease prevention.
Longevity medicine is not speculation. Elevated homocysteine correlates with cardiovascular and cognitive decline. Insulin resistance precedes type 2 diabetes by years. Chronic low-grade inflammation accelerates cellular aging. The Longevity Panel measures these patterns early, when intervention can change the trajectory.
THE PROCESS
The Longevity Panel is typically ordered during your PRIME Profile Consultation or at a subsequent PRIME review. Dr. med. Desirée Grawunder evaluates your medical history, family health background, lifestyle factors, and existing lab data to determine which longevity markers are most relevant.
A venous blood sample is drawn at the WunderLife clinic or at a partnering laboratory. The Longevity Panel typically requires a 12-hour fast for accurate metabolic and lipid measurements. The blood draw takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Samples are processed by accredited German laboratories with specialized testing capabilities. Some advanced markers such as NAD+ levels and oxidized LDL require specialized assays and may take 7 to 14 business days.
Dr. Grawunder conducts a detailed review of all markers in the context of your complete PRIME Profile. Each result is evaluated against both standard reference ranges and optimal longevity ranges.
Panel results inform your comprehensive longevity strategy: IV therapy protocols, supplement adjustments via WunderRise and WunderReset, lifestyle recommendations, and a retesting schedule that tracks biological change over time.
IDEAL CANDIDATES
The Longevity Panel is designed for patients who want to move beyond reactive healthcare toward proactive optimization of their biological aging trajectory.
Patients interested in longevity medicine who want a comprehensive biological baseline. Adults over 35 who want to identify age-related changes before they become symptomatic. Those with a family history of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, or neurodegenerative conditions. High-performing professionals who want to maintain cognitive sharpness and metabolic efficiency as they age. Patients already following longevity-oriented protocols who want objective data to track progress. Those in the PRIME Enhance phase seeking the deepest available insight into cellular health.
The Longevity Panel is most impactful when ordered early, ideally in your 30s or 40s, when interventions can influence biological trajectories before damage accumulates. However, it is valuable at any age as a baseline for future comparison.
Patients seeking diagnosis or management of acute illness should consult their primary care physician. The Longevity Panel is an elective, preventive assessment.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
A 12-hour fast is typically required for accurate metabolic and lipid markers. Water is permitted. Continue all regular medications unless Dr. med. Desirée Grawunder advises otherwise. Morning appointments are recommended.
A standard venous blood draw from your arm. The Longevity Panel may require 4 to 6 tubes of blood, approximately 20 to 30 millilitres total. The draw takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Resume normal activities immediately. A small bruise at the draw site is possible and resolves within a few days.
Standard markers return within 5 to 10 business days. Specialized longevity markers may take up to 14 business days. Dr. Grawunder schedules a comprehensive review appointment of 30 to 45 minutes to walk through every marker and discuss actionable next steps.
SAFETY & SCIENCE
The Longevity Panel is a diagnostic blood test carrying the same minimal risk as any standard blood draw.
Blood is drawn using sterile, single-use equipment. The procedure involves brief discomfort and a small risk of bruising. Serious complications are extremely rare.
All samples are processed by accredited German laboratories using validated assays with established reference ranges.
The Longevity Panel includes markers requiring nuanced clinical interpretation. For example, Lp(a) is genetically determined and cannot be lowered through lifestyle changes alone. Similarly, mildly elevated homocysteine in the context of adequate B-vitamin levels suggests a different picture than homocysteine elevation with confirmed B12 deficiency. Dr. med. Desirée Grawunder interprets every marker within full clinical context.
All results are stored in compliance with DSGVO/GDPR regulations as part of your confidential medical record.
THE PRIME PROTOCOL
The Longevity Panel is a Profile-phase diagnostic providing the deepest available biological assessment within the PRIME Protocol.
The panel establishes a comprehensive biological baseline that standard PRIME Profile blood work does not fully cover. For patients with longevity goals, the Longevity Panel is an essential Profile-phase addition.
Findings such as insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, or oxidized LDL trigger targeted Repair-phase interventions including dietary changes, IV antioxidant therapy, and metabolic optimization through WunderRise supplementation.
Longitudinal Longevity Panel tracking is the core of the Maintain phase for longevity-focused patients. Annual or biannual retesting reveals whether interventions are producing real biological change.
The Enhance phase may incorporate NAD+ IV therapy, targeted antioxidant protocols, and precision supplementation, all guided by Longevity Panel data. Dr. med. Desirée Grawunder uses cumulative trends to refine protocols over years.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A standard blood test checks for acute illness within conventional reference ranges. The Longevity Panel measures biomarkers specifically associated with biological aging, chronic inflammation, and long-term disease risk, interpreted against optimal ranges rather than population averages.
Ideally in your 30s or 40s, when interventions can influence trajectories before significant damage accumulates. However, the panel is valuable at any age as a baseline for future comparison.
An initial panel establishes your baseline. Follow-up testing is typically recommended annually or biannually. Some markers may be retested more frequently during active Repair-phase interventions. Dr. med. Desirée Grawunder sets the schedule based on your results.
The standard PRIME Profile blood work is included in all memberships. The Longevity Panel as an advanced add-on is priced separately. It is most frequently used by WunderSignature and Body Membership patients.
Yes. Many longevity markers including hs-CRP, HbA1c, fasting insulin, and triglyceride-to-HDL ratio respond meaningfully to targeted dietary changes, exercise, stress management, and supplementation. Some markers like Lp(a) are primarily genetic. Dr. Grawunder identifies which markers are actionable for your specific profile.
The Longevity Panel and Vitamin Panel serve complementary purposes. The Vitamin Panel focuses on micronutrient status; the Longevity Panel focuses on aging, inflammation, and metabolic markers. Many patients benefit from both.
