Genetic Testing

How Our Genetic Testing Can Help You Overcome Weight or Hair Loss Issues

Genetic testing isn’t just about finding out who your ancestors were. It’s a revolutionary way to unlock the power of your DNA to help you achieve health and wellness.

At Dynamic Life Health Center, we are committed to helping you achieve your best health through personalized solutions. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce two cutting-edge genetic tests: NutriGen and TrichoTest.

These tests can provide you with personalized health insights to transform your wellness journey.

What is NutriGen?

NutriGen is a genetic test for personalizing your diet, wellness, and weight loss planning. If you have ever wanted to understand how your genetics affect your body weight, this test can tell you.

Did you know, for example, that genetic factors determine between 40-70% of a person’s BMI? ² NutriGen analyzes 363 genetic variations, including your genetic predispositions to:

• Obesity and increased BMI
• Fat metabolism and lipid profile
• Digestion of carbohydrates
• Detoxification imbalances
• Vitamin deficiency risk
• Lactose and fructose intolerance
• Type 2 diabetes risk
• Cholesterol dysregulation
• Micro and macro nutrient requirements
• Efficacy of exercise

This genetic information, combined with your full medical history, helps us create a tailored plan that works best for you.

Research shows that we’re more motivated to follow a healthier diet and lifestyle when the personalized advice is based on our genetic profile.^1,2,3

Plus, you only have to take this test once since your genetic results won’t change during your lifetime.

Benefits of Genetic Testing with NutriGen

• Personalized Diet Plans: NutriGen considers more than 850 different foods and helps you understand which foods are best suited for your body. This makes it easier to create a diet plan that meets your nutritional needs.
• Optimal Nutrient Intake: Your test results will show potential nutrient deficiencies and give you recommendations to ensure you’re getting the right vitamins and minerals.
• Tailored Weight Loss Strategies: Once you learn about your genetic factors related to weight gain and loss, we can provide guidance on the most effective weight loss strategies for you.

How NutriGen Works

1. Sample Collection: You collect a DNA sample by doing a simple cheek swab and sending it to the lab for analysis.
2. Questionnaire: You fill out a questionnaire to provide additional information on your physical characteristics, environment, lifestyle factors, and medical history.
3. Analysis and Recommendations: You receive a comprehensive genetic report that helps you understand your body better and how to provide it with the right nutrients.
4. Personal Treatment Program: We will schedule a follow-up appointment and review your report, which includes a personalized dietary plan designed exclusively for you. This plan suggests recommended foods and foods to avoid, as well as what supplements to take.

Many people have experienced life-changing benefits from NutriGen testing. From achieving weight loss goals to optimizing nutrient intake, NutriGen provides a clear path to better health.

What is TrichoTest?

TrichoTest is a personalized genetic test designed to address hair loss. By analyzing your genetic markers, TrichoTest helps identify the most effective treatments for your unique hair loss condition.

Per the American Academy of Dermatology, 80 million men and women in the US alone suffer from hair loss and thinning. If you have a family history of hair loss or have tried many treatments without success, this test can help point you in the right direction.

The TrichoTest provides personalized treatment recommendations for patients with the following types of hair problems:

• Androgenetic Alopecia (common baldness)
• Alopecia Areata (spot baldness)
• Telogen Effluvium (hair thinning)

It combines genetic data with your medical history and possible contraindications. It then selects the most suitable drug formulations for you based on your genetics, type of alopecia, and medical history.

Unlike a regular medical checkup or blood tests, you only need to get this genetic test once, as your genetic results won’t change during your lifetime.

Benefits of Genetic Testing with TrichoTest

• Personalized Treatment Plans: A treatment plan tailored to your genetic profile increases the chances of successful hair restoration.
• Effective Hair Loss Treatments: Based on your genetic makeup, the test will identify which treatments are most likely to work for you, saving you time and money.
• Improved Hair Health: With the right treatment plan, you can improve the health and appearance of your hair.

This patient (right) was suffering from androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and had been taking minoxidil for one year without success. The TrichoTest revealed that he was a non-responder to minoxidil due to a specific genotype of one gene. His treatment was adjusted, and he began to show improvement in hair regrowth and a reduction in hair shedding.

How TrichoTest Works

1. Sample Collection: You collect a DNA sample by doing a simple cheek swab and sending it to the lab for analysis.
2. Questionnaire: You fill out a questionnaire to provide additional information on your medical history, family history, environment, lifestyle factors, and more.
3. Analysis and Recommendations: You receive a comprehensive genetic report that helps you understand your genetics and their relationship to your hair loss. It will also recommend the most suitable drugs and supplements for you.
4. Personal Treatment Program: We will schedule a follow-up appointment and review your report, which includes formulas for personalized treatment, as well as scalp care and hygiene recommendations.

TrichoTest has helped many people find effective solutions for their hair loss problems. By understanding your genetic makeup, you can confidently choose treatments that work best for you, improving your hair health and boosting your confidence.
