DNA tests – an insight into your genes

Gaining insight into your genetics has become more popular in recent years. We have previously written this article where you can read more about genetics and environment and how they influence each other.

DNA tests can be relevant if you want to understand why your body is challenged in different areas and here it can make sense to test more deeply. It can also be based on a desire to be able to take more targeted action, for example in relation to your health and longevity – read more about longevity here.

The DNA tests we use are all validated and are clinically relevant tests.

In short, this means that the results of the DNA tests we offer contain useful information about your genetics, where it is possible to optimize conditions yourself.

We offer different types of DNA tests and it is important to get the right advice to assess which tests make sense in your particular case and whether DNA tests are the right thing for you. This is done during a possible consultation.

Overall, the following DNA tests are offered:

DNA HEALTH

The test is, as the name indicates, a good test to assess where you are most challenged in your genetics with regard to your health and the risk of developing diseases in various systems in the body.

This DNA Test provides broad insight into your ability to metabolize fat and your risk of developing circulatory diseases, as well as how intensively you should work to minimize the risk.

In addition, DNA HEALTH tests your genes for inflammation, gluten, lactose, methylation, insulin, bone strength, vitamin D receptors, detoxification or biotransformation, and much more.

This test may be obvious to most people, as it can also be used in connection with optimizing health and can be used to find out where in-depth testing should be done to find out if problems are actually occurring in a given area. You may be less strong in a genetic area and still not have any real problems there if the environment around you is favorable.

DNA Sports & Activity

Overall, this test is for those of you who are curious about what your genes look like, e.g. in relation to performance in endurance training, explosive sports, muscle growth, recovery time, inflammation response, injury risk, etc.

The test can also provide a lot of information about your response to weight loss efforts and whether you can use caffeine in a performance-enhancing way.

It is for those of you who are active or want to know more about how you can tailor your training and what you need to pay attention to to avoid injuries.

Other tests

We offer other DNA tests that are more focused on the mind and are more specific to specific areas of health. These tests can also be consulted to take individual circumstances into account. With all tests we offer, it is important that you consult with our experts in the field so that you receive the right course of action for your specific situation.

During a Functional Medicine consultation, we take into account all aspects of your life situation, both in terms of relevant tests, but also through in-depth conversation about your challenges.
