Healing Food for Cancer is Partnering with 3x4 Genetic Testing!
Most people are making health decisions based on generalized recommendations without ever truly understanding their body.
Your health is too important for a one-size fits all approach.
Every health decision you make should be personalized for you and your unique body. The journey to taking control of your health begins with understanding your body. Genetic testing empowers you to do exactly that!
Your genes don’t work in isolation – they work with each other and the body’s environment. What we eat, how we move, our stress levels and our emotional lives affect how our genes behave. Understanding our individual genetic blueprint can guide us to make health choices that help us to live happier, longer and better.
How We View Genetics and Functional Health
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.
The 3x4 tool tests over 134 genes that can affect your metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, fitness, weight, hormones, cognition, and response to food and supplements. By understanding how your unique genetics impact these key processes, you can make smarter, more personalized decisions about your health.
This genetic test is designed to provide clear, actionable insights and recommendations about the 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 based on your unique gentoype? 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? How can you enhance your athletic performance to get faster results and better outcomes?
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, to better understand what your body needs to cope better with the stressors of modern life.
Ideal Weight Why does your body resist weight loss and how can you manage your weight in a healthy and sustainable way that is personalized to your unique genotype?
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 based on your genetic predispositions?
How is 3x4 Genetic Testing Different from Other DNA Tests?
Rooted in Science
The 3X4 Genetics Test focuses on the genes that have undergone vigorous examination for both scientific validity and clinical utility (how useful will it be in real life?). As such, only the genes that have the greatest potential to influence health are examined because a genetic test is only as good as the actionable insights that can be extracted from it.
Practitioner Guided
Genetics is complex, you shouldn’t be left alone to understand your genes. I will work with you to translate your results and analyze how your genes work together in your body to impact your overall health.
Actionable Insights in Order of Importance
The 3X4 Blueprint Report uses infographics, explanations and actionable recommendations that are prioritized into the top three suggestions for nutrition; supplements; and lifestyle changes for each of your most genetically impactful pathways (hence the name 3X4!) making it easier to know where to start and how to prioritize meaningful lifestyle changes.
What Do You Do with the DNA Sample Once It Is Processed?
The 3x4 partner lab securely retains your sample until we are sure we have complete and accurate results to produce a report.
The sample is destroyed 90 days after we have received your results.
How is the DNA Sample Collected? Does it Hurt?
The test kit is a simple and pain-free cheek swab that you can complete at home. A thorough rub with a cotton swab on the inside of each cheek for 60 seconds is all it takes. No spitting or blood draw is required.
How long does it take to get the results?
A prepaid envelope is included in the kit for you to easily return the sample. After your sample is returned it takes approximately 4 weeks to process and generate a personalized report. I will schedule time to meet with you to go through the report.
