Genetic Testing

The human genome is made up of 3.2 billion DNA base pairs with humans having about 20000 to 25000 genes, and all human beings have 99.6 % of identical DNA according to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS).

Disorders due to genetic changes can be inherited or occur randomly. Genetics testing can help by identifying potential risks for acquiring certain disease conditions, and enable healthcare providers to initiate preventative measures where possible.

Genetics testing analyzes human body DNA and can uncover mutations or indicators in the genes which can lead to, or predispose a patient, to an illness condition. Genetics tests can provide information on a patient’s vulnerability to inflammation or oxidative stress.

With genetic testing/lab testing, we can test anything from allergy/food sensitivities, vitamin deficiencies, cancer risks, autoimmune, gut health, adrenal and stress, sleep, tumor markers, Lyme and tickborne diseases, women/men health, weight management risks, etc.

Below is the most popular Genetic/DNA tests but many more are available depending on the information you are looking for or the problems you are having!

Popular DNA tests

3×4 genetics test– The 3X4 Genetics Test + Blueprint Report evaluates over 134 genes that influence metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, performance, weight, hormones, cognition, and response to diet and supplements. The report includes insights into nutrition, fitness, illness prevention, weight management, and de-stressing recommendations.

Diet- DNA Diet® is a genetic test designed to guide the personalization of diet and lifestyle recommendations to manage weight. It provides insight into which diet type (low carbohydrate, low fat, or Mediterranean diet) would be most suitable for you according to your unique genetic makeup.

Health– DNA Health® tests for genetic variations that are known to have a significant effect on health and susceptibility to chronic diseases. DNA Health® reports on key biological pathways that govern overall health and helps practitioners and patients understand how genetic weaknesses in these pathways may increase predisposition to chronic diseases of lifestyle.

Risk– The comprehensive DNA Risk HLA-Related Autoimmunity (HLA test) looks at gene variants related to common autoimmune diseases. It provides healthcare practitioners ‘diagnostic insight’ for patients already suffering from an autoimmune disorder or who are identified as at risk due to a family history of disease and exposure to environmental risk factors.

Mind– DNA Mind reports on variants in 30 genes involved in key biological pathways, from serotonin and dopamine to inflammation and methylation, that have been shown to have significant associations with mental health. It provides personalized diet, lifestyle, and nutraceutical recommendations.

Oestrogen– DNA Oestrogen tests for genetic variations associated with estrogens and estrogen metabolism. Research has shown that increased lifetime exposure to estrogen, and unbalanced estrogen metabolism, is a strong risk factor in the development of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer, as well as estrogen-dominant disorders, such as endometriosis and premenstrual syndrome.

Skin– DNA Skin analyses genes involved in areas that influence skin health. DNA Skin was developed to provide insight into the genetic contribution of important biological areas involved in maintaining the health of the skin, thus allowing for a more targeted approach to skincare.

Active– The DNA Active test was created to assist trainers and coaches in designing unique and effective training and nutrition programs optimized to assist clients in accomplishing their performance and weight loss goals. The test is suitable for the elite performance athlete as well as the recreational athlete looking to maximize their fitness potential and reach peak levels of conditioning.

Resilience– DNA Resilience is a genetic test targeted at individuals who want to lead more effectively (in business, sport, and life), cope better under stressful and demanding conditions, enhance their mental, emotional, and physical health, and live up to their fullest potential.
