Genetic TestingUnique care based on you
Physician-guided genetic testing, recommended when clinically appropriate. Your provider reads your results with your history, labs, and body composition to personalize your plan.
What Your Results Can Help Us Understand
Each panel reads small differences in your DNA and sorts them into clear predisposition levels. Your provider uses them together with your history, labs, and body composition to tailor recommendations to you.
Small Differences in Your DNA
Each panel looks at single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small variations in genes known to influence nutrition, metabolism, and other key processes in your body.
Higher, Medium, or Lower
For each trait, your result is placed at a Higher, Medium, or Lower level of genetic predisposition, based on the combined effect of the gene variants you carry.
Guidance for Your Provider, Not a Diagnosis
Your results help your provider personalize diet, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations. The panels are not intended to diagnose or treat disease.
Genetic Testing Panels & Pricing
Four panels, each focused on a different part of your health. Your 1st panel is $299.00, and the panels that follow it are discounted.
We recommend the Foundational Panel.
- Customized Diet Panel$249.00
- Metabolic Health Testing Panel$199.00
- Food Intolerance Genetic Panel$199.00
$50 off for existing weight loss patients
Foundational PanelNutrition, metabolism, brain health, mood & aging
A comprehensive view of your genetic predispositions related to nutrition, metabolism, cognitive function, mental wellness, and aging, from cholesterol and blood sugar to folate, vitamin B12, stress sensitivity, and cellular aging. Some traits are read as a risk (a tendency toward a less favorable outcome) and others as a propensity (a natural inclination toward a favorable trait).
Not intended to diagnose or treat disease. Your provider decides how to apply your results, including any diet, lifestyle, or supplement recommendations.

Metabolism and Energy Expenditure
- High LDL Cholesterol: how your body processes LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular risk

Customized Diet PanelHow your body uses carbs, protein & fat
Looks at how your genes may influence the way your body absorbs, processes, and stores carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Your provider can use the results to build a nutrition plan that matches your metabolic profile, to support a healthy body weight and help reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.
Not a diagnostic tool. It offers personalized insight to support nutrition planning and preventive care.

Carb-Protein Metabolic Insights
Carbohydrate metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and blood sugar control.
- Carbohydrate Metabolic Response: whether you may benefit from a lower-carbohydrate diet for better glucose control and metabolic balance
- Whole-Grain Response Modulation: how your body responds to whole grains for blood sugar control and diabetes prevention
- High Protein Intake Response: how you respond to more protein, for energy, fullness, and body composition
Dietary Fat Dynamics
How your genes shape fat metabolism and your response to different types of dietary fat.
- Saturated Fat Sensitivity: how saturated fat may affect your cholesterol and cardiovascular risk
- MUFA-Responsive Metabolic Efficiency: how monounsaturated fats affect your metabolism and energy use
- PUFA-Responsive Metabolic Efficiency: your response to polyunsaturated fats (omega-3 and omega-6), linked to inflammation control and heart health
Food Sensitivity Response
Digestion, tolerance, and immune responses to common foods, to guide choices that support digestive comfort and nutrient absorption.
- Lactose Intolerance: lactase enzyme activity and how well you tolerate foods that contain lactose
- Gluten Sensitivity: non-celiac gluten sensitivity and immune reactivity, to help reduce inflammation and digestive discomfort where it applies
Metabolic Health Testing PanelMetabolism, eating habits & metabolic risk
Helps you understand how your DNA may influence your metabolism, eating habits, how you process nutrients, and your risk for certain metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Suggestions for Higher and Medium results often overlap; the difference is usually how actively and consistently they are applied.
Does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. It highlights inherited tendencies.
See what this panel assesses (14 areas)
Taste Perception
- Sweet Taste Perception: whether you may be genetically inclined to crave sweet foods
- Bitter Taste Perception: how sensitivity to bitter flavors may shape your food preferences
Eating Behavior
- Tendency to Snack: whether your genes may influence how often you feel hungry or snack
Macronutrient Metabolism
- Carbohydrate Response: how your body may respond to carbohydrates and their effect on blood sugar
- Protein Response: genetic tendencies in how you digest and metabolize protein
- Saturated Fat Response: how your body handles saturated fats and their possible effect on cholesterol
- Unsaturated Fat Benefit: possible benefits from healthy fats such as those in nuts, seeds, and olive oil
Metabolic Health Disorders
- Weight Management: genetic factors that may affect how easily you gain weight or how hard it may be to lose it
- Cholesterol Dysregulation: how your genes may influence your cholesterol levels
- Type 2 Diabetes Risk: your likelihood of developing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
- Triglyceride Dysregulation: how well your body manages triglycerides, a key type of blood fat
- Coronary Artery Disease Risk: genetic variants linked to heart disease
- Myocardial Infarction Risk: inherited risk for heart attack
- Hypertension Risk: whether your genes contribute to a tendency toward high blood pressure
Food Intolerance Genetic PanelFood intolerances, allergies & sensitivities
Looks at genetic markers that affect how your body responds to specific foods and dietary components. It can help your provider spot possible triggers that may go unrecognized in conventional testing and shape a diet that supports digestive health and overall well-being. Your provider reads the results as a whole, together with your symptoms and history.
Does not diagnose or treat food-related conditions.
See what this panel assesses (6 areas)
Food Intolerance
Difficulty digesting certain food components because of enzyme deficiencies or metabolic differences.
- Lactose Intolerance: a reduced ability to digest lactose, which can lead to bloating, cramps, or digestive discomfort
- Gluten Intolerance: genetic risk for immune-related gluten sensitivity, which may affect intestinal health and digestion
Food Allergy
Immune reactions to specific food proteins, ranging from mild symptoms to severe allergic responses.
- Milk Allergy: susceptibility to allergic reactions to milk proteins such as casein and whey
- Egg Allergy: risk factors for allergic reactions to egg proteins, particularly egg whites
- Peanut Allergy: a predisposition to react to peanuts, from skin irritation to anaphylaxis
Food Sensitivities
Non-immune reactions to certain foods or substances that can still cause physical or digestive discomfort.
