Question 1

Why should I take a genetic test?

Accepted Answer

Genetics make up the baseline “code” by which your body functions. The impact of every single choice you make throughout your life is influenced by your personal genetic makeup. We test over 157 genes that can affect your metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, fitness, weight, hormones, cognition, and response to your diet, and supplements. By understanding how your unique genetics impact these key processes, you can make smarter, more personalized decisions about your health. There may even be insights you never imagined (like whether that second cup of coffee is a good idea).

Question 2

How were the genes for this test selected?

Accepted Answer

Every gene has been selected based on 2 factors: scientific validity and actionability. The genes in the 3X4 Test were selected from peer-reviewed scientific publications. To ascertain scientific validity, we ensure that there is adequate research to understand what the gene does and how the version of the gene you possess affects your body. Every gene in your report has been hand-picked because there is a documented action you can take to reduce your risk and improve your health

Question 3

What will I learn from my 3X4 genetics test?

Accepted Answer

Our genetic test is designed to provide clear insights and recommendations about areas of health that are most important to you:
 • Nutrient needs
What are your body’s unique needs and how do you respond to certain foods? How well do you tolerate fat and carbs? What’s your vitamin D need? Do you require extra antioxidants and Omega-3 fats compared to others? Should you limit gluten, salt, or caffeine?

• Fitness strengths
What type of exercise will your body respond best to? How can you train smarter in alignment with your genes, for better performance, faster recovery, and fewer injuries?

• Proactive prevention
Is your body more prone to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol? How can you support your cardiovascular system and your immune system for more resilience as you age? We also look at processes like your inflammation, detoxification, methylation, and more.

• Ideal Weight
Why does your body resist weight loss and how can you manage your weight in a healthy way that is personalized to your unique body?

• Stress strategies
How does your life stress affect your brain health, your hormones, your sleep quality, and your overall wellness? More importantly, what can you do about it?

Question 4

Why should I consult with a practitioner for nutrigenetics guidance?
