Genetic Testing

From hair loss to weight gain, many of us have genetic traits passed down from one generation to the next. With our genetic testing in Southlake, you can find out which of your genes may be contributing to your hair loss and weight gain.

  • Genetic Predispositions for Obesity

  • Genetic Markers for Hair Loss Risk

Genetic Testing Can Diagnose…

Hair Loss

If your family has a history of hair loss or thinning hair, our tests help determine which proactive treatments will help.

Genetic Obesity

Losing weight is easier for some than for others. Our genetic testing can give you insight into how your genes influence your ability to lose weight, and which foods to choose to optimize your journey.

Nutritional Deficits

Understanding your genetics can help identify potential nutritional deficiencies that might be hindering your energy and overall well-being. At DLHC, we can proactively address this through targeted screening and supplementation.

TrichoTest

TrichoTest to Personalize Your Hair Loss Treatment

TrichoTest is a personalized genetic test designed to address hair loss. By analyzing genetic markers related to hair loss, we can identify the most effective treatment for your hair loss condition. Our team is well-versed in treating this aesthetic condition to get your hair looking fuller and boost new hair growth. When you are looking for a diagnosis for your hair loss, the TrichoTest is one of the best there is. Specifically searching for signs of alopecia among 48 different genes, these tests are thorough and efficient.

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 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 other testing, 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.

What to Expect

Who is a Candidate?

Anyone who wants to know their genetic influences on their health is a candidate for genetic testing. We offer insight into the root causes of your thinning hair, nutrient deficiencies, or obesity that you may not have been aware of.

Unlike other types of lab work or blood tests, the only thing you need to do is provide a cheek swab. From there, the Fagron testing company will examine your DNA.

Note: We do not currently partner with any genetic testing companies that provide ancestry results. Our tests focus on the health aspects of your genetics, such as their impact on your aging process and the likelihood of developing chronic illnesses. For these exams, we recommend finding an outside provider.

    I am more than pleased that I’ve found Dr. Berutti! She is my personal physician as well as my anti-aging doctor. She is Board-Certified in both Internal Medicine as well as Anti-Aging Medicine. Plus, she is a DO which is very important to me. She understands and believes in a holistic approach to health. I first visited Dr. Berutti in November 2016. After a course of tests – bone density, extensive blood work, and breast exam, etc. she began my bio-identical hormone treatment in February 2017. In a matter of 3 weeks, I began to feel more energetic, happier and stronger. My skin and hair both got softer and healthier. I have absolutely no aches and pains and for the first time in years, I am enjoying being more active…desiring to work out! My husband is hoping to jump on the HRT bandwagon soon. He has seen the changes in me and will be visiting Dr. Berutti in July. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Berutti … she listens, she cares and most of all she delivers!

    I have been a patient of Dr. Berutti's for about 9 months and I have most definitely improved my heath and quality of life since I first saw her as a patient and began her recommendations and medical guidance for Hormone Replacement Therapy. I find Dr. Berutti extremely thorough and very specialized in this area of medical treatment. She understands how to balance hormones throughout the body and she is not a doctor that prescribes a one size fits all treatment plan. It takes time to get everything back in balance and I would encourage anyone that seeks this type of treatment to be patient and follow her advise and recommendations. It takes time to get dosages correct and everything in balance. NO more hot flashes for me. My energy level is so much better. Everything is better. I hope that she will continue to be my "anti-aging hormone balance" doctor for many, many years to come. She is truly the best and I highly recommend her.

    I just wanted to say hello and THANK YOU for all you have done for Ruth and me over the years. We are doing well and thanks to your help, support and kindness when we were at our lowest point and ready to give up. We were able to get through the roughest time in our lives in part to your help and support. You came to our aid and supported us when we were ready to throw in the towel. We sure miss you and hope you are doing well. As we enter the Thanksgiving season, I wanted to make sure I said THANK YOU to one of the kindest people I have ever met. You were always more than just a doctor, you are our caregiver, wizard of all things big and small and most of all a friend. I will never forget you and all that you did for us.

    Excellent care!! Started with Dr. Berutti 2 years ago. Vast knowledge. Another doctor who attended medical school with her told me, “She is very smart, you can trust anything she tells you,” and indeed I do. I went to her depressed, lethargic (could hardly get out of bed), no energy, no stamina, feeling arthritic, failing memory, aggressive at times, and the list goes on & on. I live 100 miles away, so every appointment after the first was via telephone conference (very convenient.) Dr. Berutti is very personable, pays constant attention to details, sincerely interested in what she can do to give you a dynamic life! We started with an extensive and lengthy interview (1+ hours), followed by a barrage of tests near home (blood, saliva, mammo, pap, history questionnaire, bone density, etc.) Everything but fingerprints!! Now I feel and act much, much better. Hard to explain what it’s like to live joyously again.... My deepest Gratitude to Dr. Lyn Berutti.
