Genetic Profiles

DNA or Genomic Testing is an innovative new health tool.

 

DNA & Genomic Testing

A Personalized Tool for Preventative Health

DNA or genomic testing is a cutting-edge tool that helps uncover your unique genetic blueprint—so you can make informed, proactive decisions for your health.

🧬 How It Works

Using a simple saliva sample, we collect your DNA and send it to 23andMe for processing. Once the raw data is ready, we analyze it using a specialized algorithm to uncover key genetic predispositions.

What Can DNA Testing Reveal?calgary homeopathy

With your personalized genetic report, we can assess:

  • Your blood clotting tendencies

  • Liver detoxification efficiency

  • Neurotransmitter production (linked to mood, focus, and sleep)

  • How your body uses and metabolizes Vitamin B12

  • Other traits tied to energy, immune function, and inflammation

Who Can Benefit from DNA & Genomic Testing?

Genomic testing is a powerful tool for anyone looking to take a proactive, personalized approach to their health. While it’s beneficial for general wellness, it’s especially valuable for those managing complex conditions, unexplained symptoms, or seeking preventative strategies.

🧠 Neurodevelopmental & Cognitive Conditions

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD, or ADHD may have genetic variations that impact neurotransmitter pathways, methylation, or detoxification.
This testing can guide targeted support for:

  • Focus and attention

  • Mood regulation

  • Nutrient absorption (like B12 and folate)

  • Reducing environmental sensitivity

 

🧬 Cancer Prevention & Support

Genomic testing can help identify inherited risk factors related to detoxification, inflammation, and immune function—factors that may increase the risk of developing cancer.
It’s especially useful for:

  • Those with a family history of cancer

  • Cancer survivors seeking long-term health strategies

  • Individuals looking for preventative lifestyle changes

 

⚡ Chronic Fatigue & Energy Imbalances

Fatigue that doesn’t respond to typical treatments can sometimes be traced to genetic factors affecting:

  • Mitochondrial function (your body’s energy factories)

  • B vitamin metabolism

  • Inflammatory, Allergies or immune system pathways
    Understanding your DNA helps us customize protocols for better energy production and resilience.

 

🧠 Neurological & Autoimmune Conditions

Conditions like Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune or neurological issues may have genetic components related to:

  • Immune system dysregulation

  • Gut-brain axis imbalances

  • Inflammation and oxidative stress

Genomic testing gives us data to develop a plan that supports these systems with precision.

🌱 Everyday Wellness & Preventative Health

Even if you don’t have a specific diagnosis, genomic testing offers insight into how your body is naturally wired, helping you:

Real-Life Examples of How DNA Testing Helps

💡 Case Example 1: Chronic Fatigue & Brain Fog
A 38-year-old woman with years of unexplained fatigue and difficulty concentrating discovered through DNA testing that she had a MTHFR gene variation impacting her ability to utilize B vitamins efficiently.
Result: A targeted plan with methylated B12, detox support, and nervous system regulation helped improve her energy and mental clarity within weeks.

💡 Case Example 2: ADHD & Behavior in Children
A 9-year-old boy diagnosed with ADHD was found to have genetic variants affecting dopamine production and detox pathways.
Result: With dietary changes, specific nutrient support, and home-based behavioral tools, his focus and emotional regulation noticeably improved.

💡 Case Example 3: Family History of Cancer
A 45-year-old man with a strong family history of colon and prostate cancer wanted to be proactive.
Result: DNA testing revealed detox pathway weaknesses, prompting a personalized anti-inflammatory nutrition and supplement plan to support long-term prevention.

DNA & Genomic Testing FAQ

Q: Is this the same as ancestry testing?
A: No. While 23andMe does offer ancestry reports, we use the raw DNA data to assess health-related gene variations, not heritage.

Q: Is the saliva collection safe and easy?
A: Yes! It’s a non-invasive, at-home test. Just spit into a tube and mail it in—simple and safe for all ages.

Q: What kind of recommendations will I get?
A: Dr. Marnie provides a detailed interpretation of your genetic profile, with tailored strategies around nutrition, supplements, detox, hormone balance, and stress support.

Q: Can I do this test if I’m already taking supplements?
A: Yes, and in fact, it can help you fine-tune what you’re taking—possibly saving you from over-supplementing or missing key supports.

Q: Is this covered by insurance?
A: Most extended benefits don’t cover genomic testing, but we provide invoices that you can submit if your plan allows for naturopathic services.
