Your genes are the blueprint — learn how to read them
Clinical-grade genomic testing goes far beyond consumer DNA kits like 23andMe, analyzing specific gene variants (SNPs) that affect detoxification, methylation, inflammation, nutrient metabolism, and hormonal pathways.
Understanding your genetic blueprint reveals why certain supplements work for you and not others, why you may be a poor detoxifier, and which disease pathways you're genetically predisposed to — allowing for truly personalized prevention strategies.
Genetics loads the gun; environment pulls the trigger. Knowing your genetic variants transforms supplementation from guesswork to precision. A patient with MTHFR mutations needs methylfolate, not folic acid. A slow COMT metabolizer needs different stress support than a fast one. Gabriel integrates genomic data with your other diagnostics to create protocols that work with your unique biochemistry.
A simple saliva collection kit mailed to your home. Spit into a tube and mail it back in the prepaid envelope. Results arrive in 3–5 weeks with detailed analysis of clinically relevant gene variants. Reports can be overwhelming — upload to Gabriel for a clear, prioritized naturopathic interpretation.
Conventional practitioners read these results through a disease-focused lens — looking for what's broken. Gabriel reads them through a holistic lens — looking for what's out of balance and how to restore it. We see optimal ranges, not just "normal" ranges. We connect findings across all your diagnostics to reveal patterns that siloed specialists miss.
Genomic testing analyzes your DNA for variations (SNPs) that affect how you metabolize nutrients, medications, hormones, and toxins. It reveals predispositions like MTHFR methylation variants, COMT variants affecting estrogen clearance, CYP450 variants affecting drug metabolism, and APOE variants affecting cardiovascular and Alzheimer's risk.
Consumer tests like 23andMe provide raw genetic data and some health reports. Clinical genomic testing goes deeper with practitioner interpretation, actionable recommendations, and focus on clinically relevant variants. Many practitioners use your 23andMe raw data as a starting point and run it through clinical analysis tools.
Often, yes. Knowing you have MTHFR C677T means you need methylfolate instead of folic acid. COMT variants affect which supplements and medications work best for you. CYP2D6 status determines whether certain antidepressants will work or cause side effects. Genomics moves treatment from guesswork to precision.
This is a valid concern. Clinical labs are bound by HIPAA. Consumer companies vary in their data policies. Read privacy policies carefully, especially regarding data sharing with third parties. Some practitioners recommend clinical-grade testing specifically for stronger privacy protections.
Consumer tests (23andMe, Ancestry) cost $100-200. Clinical panels range from $300-800 depending on depth. Pharmacogenomic testing for medication compatibility is often covered by insurance. One-time test, lifetime value, since your DNA doesn't change.
