Functional Profiles
Immune & Inflammatory Profiles
This section looks at your genotype result that impacts inflammation and immunity. Many factors are involved including immune signaling hormones and immune cell function and have a significant influence over immune-related conditions such as allergies, asthma, eczema, infections as well as auto-immune and inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Increased inflammation has a profoundly deleterious effect on disease risk and leads to the adverse expression of many genes. The profile analyses the combination of your genes in order to balance your immune response and treatment is directed at reducing your inflammatory mediators plus supplemental protocols to moderate the inflammatory response if needed.
Detoxification Profile
We are all surrounded by an environment that contains harmful substances called toxicants. These include things like caffeine, cigarette smoke, pesticides found in food, flame-retardants found in clothing and exhaust products found in air. The liver is involved in breaking down many toxicants (man made products that you are exposed to) and toxins (naturally occurring poisons) that you ingest. It also transforms and eliminates these substances out of your body. Your liver’s ability to metabolize optimally is dependent on your analysis. This profile looks at how to prevent inflammation and cellular toxicity by balancing these two pathways. Protocols to regulate both phases of detoxification are included.
Methylation Profile
Methylation (and demethylation) is like little on/off switches inside your body that control everything from how your body converts food to energy, how your hormone signals your brain and body to function all the way to how you respond to stress and inflammation. If you struggle with mental health related issues, fertility issues or have/ suspect an auto-immune condition, methylation is an important factor in your gene expression. Treatment Recommendations to address these keys pathways will be addressed.
