Genetic Testing can be a big piece of the puzzle! However, this information does also require further analysis as the science is still relatively new. Also, just because you have a specific gene, doesn’t mean it’s “expressed” or “turned on.” Our naturopathic physician can use the information from this test to help you decide which pieces to take action on, and which to not.

 

How Do I Get Started With Genetic Testing?

All you need is a 23andMe® or Ancestry® DNA Kit. If you’ve already done one, great! Once it’s completed, your raw DNA data can be very easily downloaded and then uploaded to your Pure Genomics Account for FREE.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page and send us a quick email. We will set up your Pure Genomics Account free of charge. It will automatically send you instructions on how to download and upload your raw DNA data. Its very easy!

What Do I Do With My Genetic Testing Results?

With the results of this genetic test, we can provide you with individualized, actionable reports that make evidence-based nutritional and lifestyle recommendations that are customized for your unique genetic profile. It takes the guess work out of building you a highly personalized nutritional plan and gives you some really in depth information about what you should be eating and what you should not be eating.
