DNA Mind test
The DNA Mind test analyzes genes which have been shown to have significant associations with key mental health disorders. DNA Mind offers insight into the genetic contribution of cognitive function, mood stability, and addictive behavior. Optimizing the functioning of the key pathways that influence mental health can help guide prevention, diagnosis and treatment with personalized diet, nutraceutical, and lifestyle recommendations.
DNA Mind reports on associations in the following areas:
- Neurodegenerative disorders - mild cognitive decline and late onset Alzheimer’s disease
- Mood disorders - depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder & post-traumatic stress disorder
- Addictive behavior - risk of alcohol, nicotine, cannabis & opioid dependence, psychosis response from cannabis use and eating disorders (binge eating)
pharmacogenomic testing
The goal of pharmacogenomic testing, such as the Medcheck™ test, is to identify genetic variations that may be affecting individual response to medication and use this to make better drug therapy decisions, such as adjusting the dose of a drug or avoiding use of a drug due to risk for non-response or harmful side effects.
The Medcheck™ test reports on patient response to approximately 150 different medications.
The classes of medication reported on in the Medcheck™ test include Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists, Anticoagulants, Antiplatelets, Beta Blockers, Statins, Antiemetics, Proton Pump Inhibitors, NSAIDs, Opioids, Antiaddictives, Anti-ADHD Agents, Anticonvulsants, Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, and Benzodiazepines.
GrowBaby DNA test
Growbaby is a genetic test for mom-to-be, designed to help optimize maternal and fetal health.
The GrowBaby DNA test reports on gene variants in the pathways of lipid metabolism, inflammation, methylation, detoxification, progesterone, melatonin, insulin, vitamin D, as well as areas related to stress response (mono-amine oxidase and neurotrophic pathways).
