Genetic Testing

MAXGEN

SNP’S- The Works

The Works is our most comprehensive genetics report, combining our MaxFood, MaxFunction, and MaxFitness reports into one. This panel tests approximately 180 of the most researched and most important genetic variants, providing insights into crucial aspects of your health.

Food Sensitivity- This home test kit is designed to determine your unique relationship with food. This Food Sensitivity Panel tests the reactivity levels of your IgG antibodies to 240 foods and offers recommendations to optimize your diet.

SPECTRACELL

LPP- Cholesterol has historically been used as the standard indicator for cardiovascular disease, often being classified as “good” (HDL) or “bad” (LDL). Studies have found that it is actually the lipoprotein particles that carry the cholesterol throughout the blood, not the cholesterol within them, that are responsible for key steps in plaque formation and the development of cardiovascular disease. The small, dense, cholesterol-depleted particles impart the highest risk, as does a higher number of these lipoproteins. Standard cholesterol testing does not tell us enough about the particle types—or subgroups—of each of these LDL and HDL families; therefore, it misses the earliest opportunity to prevent adverse cardiovascular events, when it’s easiest to treat.

Telomere- Telomeres are sections of genetic material that form a protective cap at the end of each chromosome in every cell of the body. When a cell divides, the telomere gets a tiny bit shorter, until there is no more telomere left to protect DNA from “unraveling,” and the cell dies. Cellular death causes the body to age, thus making telomeres a novel biomarker for biological age. The longer one’s telomeres, the younger one’s biological age. Moreover, the rate at which telomeres shorten is accelerated by inflammation, oxidative stress, nutritional deficiencies, genetic pre-disposition, and other lifestyle habits. Telomere shortening, when expedited, contributes to cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, and cancers.

Micronutrient- This Micronutrient test provides the most comprehensive nutritional analysis available by measuring functional deficiencies at the cellular level. It is an assessment of how well the body utilizes 31 vitamins, minerals, amino/fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites, while conveying the body’s need for these micronutrients that enable the body to produce enzymes, hormones, and other substances essential for proper growth, development, and good health. Repletion recommendations are made based on need.

PRODROME SCAN

Prodrome- Prodrome Scan comprehensively assesses biochemical systems by reporting over 40 biomarker levels. It identifies deficiencies and imbalances and specifically evaluates current plasmalogen level as well as the body's capacity to produce plasmalogens.
