The Process of Testing
After the initial consultation and ordering of labs, it typically takes 2-4 weeks for results to come in. Once received, we’ll schedule a review of the results and a treatment recommendation session with the provider.
Please note that occasionally, phlebotomy (blood draw) is needed. In such cases, we will find a lab near you or arrange a mobile phlebotomy technician to come to you. An extra charge ($30-$100) will be applied depending on the phlebotomy service.

Learn More About Medical & Genetic Testing
There are a variety of genetic tests that are on the market. Here we feature a genetic variations test. It is a test that helps us show predispositions to certain diseases, including heart disease, cancer, stroke. Additionally, the test looks at our ability to metabolize vitamins, medications and certain foods.
A component of this test is nutrigenomics, meaning how certain foods affect our genes.
Another concept is Pharmacogenomics, that is the study of how an individual’s genetic makeup influences their response to medications.
LIPID METABOLISM: Looks at genetic components of fat metabolism (LDL, HDL, etc) in the context of being predisposed to heart issues and its prevention.
METHYLATION: DNA methylation implies an ability of DNA to repair itself. It is vital for healing, cancer prevention and aging.
DETOXIFICATION: Genetically predisposed ability to ward off and metabolize toxins.
INFLAMMATION: Inflammation is a normal response when there is an injury. However, inflammation that doesn’t turn off results in a chronic body inflammation that has been a culprit in many medical conditions, from arthritis to heart disease.
OXIDATIVE STRESS: Free radicals are byproducts of biochemical processes in the body. Antioxidants (specific enzymes) are found in the body to defend it from the free radicals. Deficiency in these enzymes is associated with certain cancers.
BONE HEALTH: After age of 30 bone loss starts in both men and women. These genes reflect our propensity for the degree of osteoporosis, probability of fractures, and risk of osteoarthritis.
INSULIN SENSITIVITY: The role of insulin is to transport glucose into the cells where it serves as an energy source and maintain a normal glucose level in the blood. When the body becomes less sensitive to insulin, metabolic syndrome and diabetes may occur.
Caffeine response: How many cups of coffee per day is safe for you to drink based on your genes?
Gluten Intolerance: How much do you need to worry about gluten? Are you prone to celiac disease?
Lactose Intolerance: How do you metabolize milk?
Salt Sensitivity: How closely do you need to watch your salt intake
Alcohol Metabolism: How do you metabolize alcohol?
It also investigates vitamin metabolism and individual’s need for replenishment:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin B12
In addition to DNA HEALTH test, there are other tests that look further into specific genes related to DIET, SPORT, SKIN, ESTROGEN, PAIN, RISK, RESILIENCE, and MEDCHECK (looks into individual ability to metabolize medications).
