Testing That Looks Beyond the Numbers

Blood Testing & Wellness

Weight & Metabolic Health

Hormonal & Adrenal Health
Blood, saliva or DUTCH testing may be considered for selected hormonal concerns. The choice depends on your history and clinical findings.
Discuss testing →Genetic Testing
Nutrigenomic testing explores selected genetic variations that may influence how the body processes nutrients. With MaxGen Labs, we can review selected variants related to nutrient metabolism and methylation alongside your health history, diet, lifestyle and other relevant findings. This can provide a starting point for a more informed conversation about nutrition and wellness priorities.
When appropriate, we may consider a personalized nutrition plan and supplements, including products from PHP Supplements. The potential benefit is a more focused discussion of nutrient choices, forms and amounts in the context of your individual needs. Supplement recommendations also consider diet, medications, relevant laboratory findings and safety—not genetic results alone.
Research on gene-guided diets and supplementation is still developing, and improved health outcomes from genetic testing have not been established for most common variants. Genetic findings are not diagnoses and do not reliably predict an individual’s disease outcome. Testing and supplements are not necessary for everyone; discuss whether either is appropriate for you during a consultation.
