After working briefly as a doctor in Berlin, he was appointed court pharmacist to Güstrow by Albrecht VII of Mecklenburg , where he married his wife Barbara († 1561), the daughter of mint master Andreas Schacht, among others in 1543. Soon afterwards he went to Stralsund as a pharmacist and city ​​physician , but was involved in the theological disputes that the Augsburg Interim brought with it. Therefore he went to Greifswald in 1549, founded the Ratsapotheke here in 1551 and in 1555 acquired the degree of licentiate in medicine at the University of Rostock .

From 1559 he was a professor of medicine at the University of Greifswald and in this function became its rector in 1567 and 1576 .

His first marriage had twelve children, the majority of whom died before him. He had his second marriage in 1562 with Katharina Tremel, who came from the old Stralsund family. From this marriage two sons and one daughter were born. His second wife married the Greifswald rector Lukas Taccius after his death .

He was buried in the Stralsund Nikolaikirche . After his death, his son (1564–1601) and his grandson (1595–1631) published the opera medica he had created, which is his main work.

Two sons of the grandson Franz Joel III, Franz and Philipp Joachim , entered the Swedish service, were ennobled under the name of Örnestedt and obtained high public offices.
