Genetic testing can certainly screen for certain genetic variants to determine if someone might be more predisposed to a disease — and many people use genetic testing in just that way. But like we've already seen, genetic testing can be used for much more, including informing lifestyle and food choices to address root causes of illness and disease before they even start. It’s important to understand which genetic tests focus on food choices and lifestyle changes — what we call nutrigenetic tests — and medical genetic tests that look for rare genetic variants that may by themselves cause disease.

Our test kit is a simple and pain-free self-swab to the mouth. A thorough rub with a sterile swab on the inside of each cheek for 60 seconds is all it takes. No spitting or blood draw is required.

3X4 Genetics takes safeguarding all genetic data seriously.

While genetic discrimination is rare, it is both common and understandable to want to know what protections are in place around the use of this type of information. In the United States, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, or GINA, protects all Americans from discrimination on the basis of genetic information when determining eligibility for employment and health insurance. It does not currently extend to life insurance, long-term care insurance, or disability insurance. State-level legislation vary and may provide additional protections.

For more information on GINA, we’ve created this resource: Genetic Information and Discrimination Protections.

Vitamin D is actually more of a hormone than a vitamin and we have receptor sites for Vitamin D on every single ell in the body, That is how rant it is. It affects our Gut health and our Immunity. Most of the population is vitamin D deficient anl deficiencies have been linked to Auto Immune challenges, depression, anxiety and much more.

Everyone needs to understand the importance of gut health not only because there are trillions of microbes in the gut but because they play many roles in the body. This collection of microbes is called the microbiota and a person’s entire well-being depends on how well it functions..

The world we live in is full of microorganisms, so it’s natural that our body is home to some of them too. Human bodies carry millions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses which together create a microbiome, especially in the guts or intestines. While many of these microorganisms are associated with diseases, the majority of the ones your gut naturally supports are crucial for the proper functioning of the digestive system, the immune system, and even the nervous system.

So, keeping your gut microbiome thriving and healthy is very important for key body functions and overall health. However, there are situations where the gut microbiome can be jeopardized and its balance disrupted, which can have immense adverse effects on your health.

The microbes (gut microbiome) present in the body can also change as a person grows older. As soon as a baby enters the world, these organisms are already present.

As they age, the number of microbes also increases, especially when they reach three years old. During this time, the microbiome is already similar to that of an adult.

They can also differ depending on where they thrive. The bacteria on the cheeks are different from the ones that live in the intestines, for example.

The profile of the bacteria will continue to modify, but they have the tendency to dwindle in number as you age.

There is a strong connection between the gut bacteria and the Immune system.

The gut flora can also influence the way the immune system behaves.

These bacteria teach the immune system to learn to h. good and harmful microorganisms. This way, it doesn’t flare up or create an abnormal response every time it comes across “threats” such as dust, pollen, and other types of microbes.

The Gut Microbiome may also affect mental health.

The Effects of Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis

A study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in 2018 reveals that this disruption in the gut microbiota is called dysbiosis, and the condition is linked to intestinal illnesses like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Moreover, the study shows that dysbiosis can also cause other issues like obesity, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular syndrome, allergies, and asthma.

A 2019 study published in Nutrients shows that gut microbiota dysbiosis is now also linked to colorectal cancer, diabetes, and even neurological disorders. The study suggests that there are reciprocal interactions between gut microbiota and the brain - popularly known as the gut-brain axis - and changes in this interaction due to dysbiosis can trigger the onset of neurological issues. Overall, studies indicate that dysbiosis is a condition that can affect your health and quality of life immensely and should be prevented at all costs.

Your genetic test and our detailed Health Appraisal Questionnaire and the challenges you present with, gives us a deeper understanding of what would be of greatest benefit to your wellbeing. The following may be recommended: Toxicity panels, Organic Acid Testing, Gut and wheat zoomer, Hormonal panels.

Sulforaphane Complex combines selenium (as l-selenomethionine) with whole broccoli sprout powder (as EnduraCell) to produce a supplement that supports healthy detoxification and immune function while promoting cellular health.◆

Broccoli sprouts contain especially high levels of sulforaphane, a naturally occurring compound found in cruciferous vegetables that is capable of activating the body’s antioxidant response and enzymatic processes that support detoxification pathways.◆ Bioactive l-selenomethionine also has potent free radical scavenging antioxidant properties and plays a critical role in numerous bodily functions.◆

Supplementation with Sulforaphane Complex may include these additional benefits:

● Supports healthy detoxification◆

● Supports immune system health◆

● Promotes healthy oxidative stress response◆

● Promotes healthy inflammatory markers◆

● Supports healthy thyroid hormone metabolism◆

● Promotes healthy cognitive function◆

● Promotes cardiovascular health◆

Sulphoraphane also upregulates Nrf2

Nrf2, short for “nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2”, is a protein that is found in your cells. It is a type of protein called a “transcription factor”, which means that it is involved in gene expression—activating and deactivating parts of a genetic sequence.

Which genes does Nrf2 affect?

It regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins and enzymes, increasing their production to help your body fight off molecules that attack your cells.

Nrf2 has been found to be an important part of your body’s system of regulating metabolism, inflammation, and immune responses.

Nrf2 is a big deal because it could be the key to aging gracefully and healthily.

When you’re young, your body is good at balancing all the needs of your body at the cellular level. But as you age, these important chemical signalers decline. You begin to produce less of the substances that you need to properly regulate your body.

The original Bach Flower Remedies is a safe and natural method of healing discovered by Dr. Bach in the 1930s in England. They gently restore the balance between mind and body by casting out negative emotions such as fear, worry, hatred, and indecision which interfere with the equilibrium of the being as a whole. The Bach Flower Remedies allow peace and happiness to return to the sufferer so that the body is free to heal itself.

The Bach Flower Remedies are made from wildflowers and are safe for the whole family including pets, there are no known side effects or allergic reactions.

“Disease of the body itself is nothing but the result of the disharmony between soul and mind. Remove the disharmony, and we regain harmony between soul and mind, and the body is once more perfect in all its parts.’”

– Dr. Edward Bach

We use a scanning system called Itovi.

Each essential oil product has a unique electrical frequency that can be imitated through radio frequencies, which iTOVi uses as stimuli for this Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) scan.

Sending a frequency that is identical to the frequency for, say, Lavender to the body is like giving the body the quickest, tiniest dose of Lavender. Or at least that is what the skin believes is happening.

The scanner sends that frequency into the body and can immediately pick up the body’s autonomic response to it. The amplitude of the phasic response to the Lavender frequency can act as a measure of how responsive you would be to Lavender in oil form.

Since electricity moves so fast—GSR scanners can record samples quickly. In less than two minutes, the iTOVi Scanner can send you the frequencies for more than a hundred products, then measure and record your response to all of them. 

Your essential oil, blends, and other product responses are then categorized into groups where the product can offer the most support based on its traditional/scientific functions.

We use the report and determine exactly which area we chose to focus on and create the blend specific to you. (using the oils your body responded the best.)
