Epigenetic and genetic test

Indication

Analysing your DNA not only helps us to identify risk factors for disease, but also enables us to improve our treatments, guide behaviours and optimise environmental and lifestyle factors – to help you become the best version of yourself.

Nature vs Nurture

Your DNA is the unique collection of genes you were born with. We call this nature. The genetic code largely determines your physical and mental functions at all levels. However, the interaction between genes and environment is crucial for some aspects of health and for your physical and mental performance. We can now measure the influence of lifestyle on your genetic make-up and your health. We call this nurture. The concept of nature vs. nurture, derived from psychological development and the interaction between genes and environment, can now also be used to diagnose and improve your longevity and your physical and mental well-being.

Epigenetics

Epigenetics analyses the way genes are activated. Environmental factors such as stress and surroundings, behaviour and diet influence the activation of genes and have a major impact on who you are and how you age.

Better Aging

With the help of genetic and epigenetic tests, we identify starting points to take proactive measures today. This allows you to improve your performance and prevent potential health problems or diseases as you age. We call this better aging.

Diagnostics

We offer a range of genetic tests that enable us to provide you with personalised risk assessments and tailored nutritional advice. These tests analyse a wide range of genetic variations to assess disease risks and intolerances and suggest preventive and corrective measures.

Genetic predisposition and lifestyle

Through a deep understanding of the interplay between genetic predispositions and lifestyle preferences, we can, in collaboration with our Well-Being Partners, enable you to make informed choices that reduce the risk of disease and improve your quality of life and healthspan.

Nutrigenetics – NUTRIPASS® profiles

The development of various diseases is due to a combination of genetic and behavioural factors, especially dietary habits. Everyone reacts differently to certain foods, which is due to unique genetic variations. Certain dietary habits combined with certain genetic variants can increase the risk of diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis and autoimmune diseases. Nutrigenetics adapts nutrition to personal needs, helps prevent disease and promotes a healthier life. NUTRIPASS® provides comprehensive insights into various correlated gene variants for: ● Alcohol, caffeine and theine metabolism ● Lactose and gluten intolerances ● Cholesterol levels ● Response to statins ● Homocysteine metabolism ● Vitamin D levels ● Weight gain ● Detoxification

Epigenetic tests

With epigenetic testing, we offer highly personalised preventive and corrective solutions together with our Well-Being partners. Firstly, we measure how your environment and lifestyle affect your ageing rate by calculating your biological age and youth capital through epigenetic analysis.

Preventive and corrective measures

Epigenetic analysis forms the basis for implementing and maintaining preventative and corrective measures tailored to your DNA so that you can proactively make positive adjustments to your lifestyle and reverse the effects of negative lifestyle choices and environmental factors.

Biological age and performance measurement

Repeated testing allows for ongoing monitoring and provides insight into the lasting effects of the positive changes you are making towards a younger biological age. In addition to your biological age, we specifically measure the DNA effects of stress and certain lifestyle habits that affect the balance between health, disease and ageing.

Epigenetic lifestyle profiles

The epigenetic lifestyle profiles reflect the effects of certain lifestyle choices such as physical activity, diet, tobacco and alcohol. Separate epigenetic signatures are used to determine the relative impact of these factors on your DNA and biological age. These in-depth findings allow us to correct and reverse certain negative effects through targeted interventions in collaboration with our Well-Being partners.

Stress

The epigenetic stress profile shows the effects of stress overload in various areas: Cardiovascular system, metabolism, immune system, mood and stress response. Prolonged stress significantly accelerates the ageing process and impairs health, often leading to chronic disease and a decline in overall well-being. Identifying the molecular effects of stress overload opens the door for customised interventions aimed at mitigating the effects of stress.

Holistic approach

Although not directly measured with specific genetic signatures, additional factors such as pre-existing conditions (known and unknown), medical history, genetic predispositions, sleep habits, mental health and even the quality of interpersonal relationships need to be considered for a holistic assessment. These factors can either decrease or increase your youth capital.

Investment

Our evidence-based approach can help you invest in your youth capital and mitigate or reverse the effects of accelerated epigenetic ageing.

Longevity and well-being

Although we cannot change your genetic make-up or stop the ageing process completely, we can influence your longevity and well-being by making objective and optimal decisions. Together we strive to improve your health, longevity and well-being.
