Discover Your Cellular Blueprint for Healthy Aging

Methylation Genomics

Understand the potential for your methylation pathway to malfunction and explore its impact on everything from energy production to mood regulation.

Methylation helps regulate genes, create energy, build muscle, and detoxify the body. Using a simple cheek swab, the Methylation Genomics test analyzes 10 crucial genetic markers, including enzymes like COMT and MTHFR to identify variations that could influence your health and risk for conditions like anxiety, depression, heart disease, and more.

But remember - your genes are not your destiny. Results include recommendations to help you make informed nutritional and lifestyle adjustments tailored to your unique genetic blueprint. Empower yourself with the knowledge to promote healthy aging and improve your overall well-being.

What is methylation?

Methylation is a vital cellular process where enzymes transfer methyl groups (small molecules consisting of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms) to other molecules within the cell. This transfer of methyl groups is essential for DNA synthesis and repair, protein expression, and neurotransmitter production and occurs billions of times per second within every cell of the body.

The efficiency of methylation depends on specific enzymes, which require nutrients such as B vitamins (B6, B12, folate) and minerals such as zinc and magnesium to function well. The Methylation Genomics test offers insights into your genetic makeup, revealing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that can influence how effectively these enzymes function. For instance, the MTHFR C677T mutation may reduce enzyme efficiency, affecting folate metabolism and increasing homocysteine levels, which is linked to various health issues including heart disease and mood disorders.

Understanding your genetic variations is crucial because disruptions in methylation can lead to a cascade of cellular dysfunction. By learning about your methylation process and and potential genetic predispositions, you can take steps to support this fundamental aspect of your cellular machinery.

How will this test help me?

Your Methylation Genomics results will identify potential problem areas that can easily be mitigated with lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and targeted supplementation. Your results offer insight on:

Heart Disease Risk

Abnormal MTHFR or MAT1A enzyme genetics are linked to heart disease risk and can be supported with vitamins, minerals, and other targeted supplements.

Mood

Genetic problems with the COMT enzyme can predispose you to anxiety and other mood issues.

Nutritional Needs

Certain vitamins and minerals support methylation enzymes, and test results can reveal which nutrients could help.

Genetic Predisposition

You'll always have your genes, but knowing your genetic status can help guide how aggressive you might need to be with focused supplementation.

Cellular Health

Your cells are constantly trying to strike a balance between oxidative stress which can damage cells and antioxidant status for cellular repair.

Detox Capacity

Methylation is one of your body's major elimination routes for toxins and hormones.

We're all about connections.

Especially when it comes to your health.

With Genova Connect, you'll not only have access to comprehensive testing, but also to a network of clinicians who can help you make sense of your results.

We know sometimes taking care of your health can feel like a guessing game, but we're here to help connect the dots for you. Are you ready to take the next step towards a happier, healthier you?

For additional help understanding your results, you can schedule time with a Cynergy provider (for an additional cost) using the link provided when your results are released. You can also consult your own healthcare provider, or find a physician to help you understand your results and work with you to build a health plan.

It is your responsibility to ask your doctor what your test results mean. Genova Connect urges you to always share the test results with your doctor in order to make the best decisions for your health.

While our profiles are eligible for FSA/HSA funds, traditional health insurance can not be used to complete your purchase. Accepted forms of payment include Visa, Master Card, Discover, and American Express.

Typically, result are available 7-17 days after being received by our lab. However, some gut testing methodologies can take up to 27 days to complete.

The $15 physician fee is collected on behalf of a third-party healthcare practitioner (Cynergy Wellness) that will provide independent physician oversight of lab ordering and testing. This fee makes it possible to order testing without having to schedule an appointment with your physician first.

The fee does not cover any physician follow-up services. The physician fee is non-refundable. Learn more about Cynergy Wellness' services by reviewing the Terms and Conditions and Refund Policy.

Plan to complete your collection early in the work week and be sure to ship your pack within 24 hours of collection to ensure specimens are viable.

You should also note that some collection packs contain materials that expire (this date is printed on the box label). Plan to collect and return your pack well before that date or within 45 days of receiving the collection pack, whichever comes first. If the pack is not returned within this timeline, we may not be able to complete your test.
