Genetic Testing

• 3X4 Genetics: A Full Genetic Roadmap and Personalized Care Plans

• 23 and Me: https://www.23andme.com/?gnav=gv1

• Promethease for DNA interpretation; https://promethease.com/ This allows you to

  download your 23 and me (or other genetic data (Ancestry, etc)) for interpretation of your specific genetic profile. While I think the name Promethease is awesome it is very medical heavy in an area called epigenetics which is how your genes express themselves. There are physicians who can help you interpret that data. Check out www.epigeneticsrx.com for further information. It is an emerging field so be cognizant of the need to find out how experienced the provider is in this field.
