Why get tested?
Many people hesitate, "I don't want to know if I have that gene; what good will knowing do?" The emerging field of epigenetics – the study of factors that influence gene expression- answers that question, and in many cases, the answer is, "A lot!" We now know that there are many factors that influence how a gene is expressed or whether it is expressed. Our Defy Your DNA Program tests for genes that influence important areas of our health and that have been shown to have important "epigenetic" or modifiable factors, including nutrition, lifestyle, stress and nutritional supplementation. Our Program includes consultation with a geneticist and guidance on important factors that can change the impact of your genetic profile.
