Here at Meyer Clinic, we offer a range of customised DNA tests, each designed to uncover valuable insights into your unique genetic makeup and susceptibility to certain conditions. These understandings help guide our recommendations for healthcare, aesthetic treatments, skin and hair renewal, and nutrition.
Epigenetic DNA testing is one of the latest advanced tests we provide. It creates a profile specifically for you that gives us the data we need to ensure that any advice we offer around lifestyle choices, therapies, and skin treatments is designed for your DNA profile.
The true value of DNA testing isn’t just about providing data and information you might find interesting, although many of our clients find this useful.
Instead, it is about embracing the power of personalised care and allowing our practitioners to enhance our proactive approach to healthcare and holistic wellbeing.
What Is Fagron Epigenetic DNA Testing and How Does it Work?
This particular test is wholly bespoke to each client and requires a simple saliva sample collected through a mouth swab. Epigenetic tests differ from more basic DNA tests because they reflect a picture of your overall health in the here and now rather than simply mapping the genes you have inherited, and that will never change.
Epigenetic patterns change for a whole host of reasons, including:
- Your diet and nutrition
- The amount and quality of your sleep
- Your exercise routine and healthy movement
- Exposures to pollutants and stimulants
Getting to grips with your epigenetics gives us a better idea of your personal wellbeing, not only based on your genes and conditions like diabetes that you may be more likely to develop but also showing us how we can influence your health from the inside out to improve those markers for the long term.
From there, we develop packages of finely tuned, personalised care, blending treatments, medications, therapies and nutritional changes without any guesswork or assumptions about how beneficial each suggested therapy or intervention will be.
One of the best aspects of epigenetic DNA testing is that it overcomes the limitations of conventional DNS tests and gives you a head start, whether you want to optimise your health and energy, take proactive steps to avoid future conditions or tackle existing complaints to feel and look your best.
Different Types of Fagron DNA Tests Offered By Meyer Clinic
Of course, we recognise that every client may have different objectives and expectations. We are delighted to provide access to a wide range of leading-edge DNA testing options and advice about the most applicable tests through our friendly, talented practitioners and consultants.
You may, for instance, be most interested in scheduling one of the following highly innovative and fully customised genetic testing processes.
A Hair-Health Focused Fagron Trichotest™
This DNA test analyses the health of your hair and scalp and is a tool used in the effective treatment of varied types of alopecia and telogen effluvium. The Trichotest genetic test looks for specific characteristics that point to the underlying reasons behind hair loss or thinning and means we can pinpoint with accuracy which medications or therapies will make the most dramatic improvement.
For example, if we identify a shortage in certain vitamins or the pace of collagen synthesis, we can target the root causes of hair loss, achieving a richer, thicker and more youthful hairline.
The Fagron Acnetest™ for Acne and Skin Irritation Analysis
Our next test looks at the genetic data relating to your exposure to inflammatory skin conditions, including acne, and the diverse treatments available. Insights into key facts, such as your response to certain medications and your metabolic rate, mean we can develop custom formulations to rapidly enhance the appearance, health, and barrier of your skin.
Clients may discover that information about the existence of scar tissue, the speed of hormone conversions or their natural sebum production levels are all beneficial in identifying the most effective course of treatment that will help them see real changes in their skin health.
Our Fagron Nutrigen™ Test for Weight and Lifestyle Management
This third test focuses on the ideal strategy to achieve improvements in your lifestyle, including weight loss. Rather than assuming that supplements, exercise routines and nutritional plans will be right for you, we look at the analyses of over 100 genetic variations to create exacting plans while knowing the behavioural epigenetics that dictate the right food intake and training schedules for you.
Each of us reacts differently to nutrition programmes and exercise routines, which is why knowing your hormonal, inflammatory, and metabolic responses to things like glucose and carbohydrates may prove more effective than any generic weight loss programme.
Circumstances Where Custom DNA Testing May Be Particularly Beneficial
Our practitioners often consult with clients who feel they have tried every remedy, prescription, methodology, and technique yet have seen little tangible improvement in their energy levels, skin texture, hair health, or physical appearance.
The secret to success lies in bypassing universal remedies, which are suited to only a small proportion of people. Mapping your own personal DNA and epigenetic profile allows us to pick the exact treatments, therapies, or medical solutions that we know have the strongest potential to deliver the outcomes you’d like to see.
We’d also recommend genomic testing for any client who has limited access to their family’s medical information for any reason.
Although there are countless advanced preventative treatments available, if you don’t know about inherited conditions or a predisposition to an intolerance or sensitivity experienced by family members, it is impossible to take effective action to safeguard your long-term wellbeing.
Selecting the Optimal Epigenetic DNA Testing Processes
DNA tests and epigenetics sound complex, but at their heart, they tie perfectly into our philosophy of person-centred, individualised, and preventative care.
They give us advance knowledge of any susceptibilities you may have and ensure you have the professional, supportive care you need to take control of your health for the years to come.
Additional details about the epigenetic DNA tests we’ve discussed here, alongside alternatives such as DUTCH hormone testing and customised food intolerance testing, are available via our service pages. Alternatively, you are warmly welcomed to contact the Meyer Clinic team to chat in confidence about which tests will be most beneficial for you.
