What is included with Medical Genetic Testing & Interpretation?

A saliva or cheek‑swab genetic panel plus a practitioner‑readable summary that maps key SNPs (e.g., methylation, detox, neurotransmitter pathways) to practical, nutrient‑focused recommendations. Results are explained in plain language with optional follow‑up.

What does the HPA 4 Amino Acid + Hormone Profile measure?

It blends diurnal stress‑hormone markers with targeted amino acids involved in neurotransmitter balance and detox, giving a functional snapshot of stress adaptation, mood chemistry, and recovery capacity.

Why use Dried Urine Hormones for sex, thyroid, and adrenal status?

Dried urine enables assessment of parent hormones and selected metabolites over the day. It helps contextualize estrogen/progesterone/androgen patterns, thyroid‑adrenal interplay, and phase‑I/II detox orientation.

What can Urinary Amino Acid testing reveal?

It highlights amino acid insufficiencies or imbalances that can affect methylation, energy production, gut repair, and neurotransmitters—useful for tuning protein intake and targeted supplementation.

Do I need to stop supplements before testing?

Follow each kit’s pre‑test instructions. Many labs ask you to pause biotin and high‑dose vitamins 24–72 hours prior; hormones or amino acid products may require longer. When in doubt, ask us before collecting.

Why add lab testing

Testing reduces guesswork. By aligning nutrients with your genetic tendencies, hormone rhythm, and amino acid balance, you can fine‑tune protocols for energy, mood, detox, and recovery—without piling on unnecessary supplements.

Collection made simple

Most kits are done at home (saliva, cheek swab, dried urine). Ship samples using the included packaging; results are delivered electronically for easy review.

Next‑step guidance

If you’d like help, add interpretation to translate findings into diet, lifestyle, and supplement adjustments tailored to your goals.

Detailed Test FAQs

How is Medical Genetic Testing interpreted into a plan?

We translate SNP findings into nutrient priorities (e.g., methyl‑donor balance, antioxidant need), plus food and lifestyle nudges. Genes aren’t destiny—your daily inputs still drive outcomes.

What makes the HPA 4 profile different from standard stress tests?

It couples hormone rhythm with amino acid status related to neurotransmitters. That dual view helps connect stress patterns to mood, sleep, cravings, and recovery capacity.

What does a Dried Urine Hormone panel show that blood might miss?

Dried urine captures time‑spread metabolism of hormones, offering added context on metabolites and detox orientation—useful for cycle mapping and adrenal‑thyroid crosstalk.

Who benefits from Urinary Amino Acid testing?

Anyone troubleshooting fatigue, focus, mood, slow recovery, or gut healing. It can validate increased protein needs or identify targeted amino support.

How do I prepare and when will results be ready?

Each kit includes instructions on timing and supplement holds. Most results return in several business days to a few weeks depending on the lab.

Can I order internationally?

Yes—many kits are available globally. Some countries have restrictions; check availability at checkout or contact support.
