Genetic Testing
Your DNA is the owner's manual your body came with. We read it and build your health plan around it.
Stop Guessing. Start Using Your Blueprint.
Why does your friend lose weight on keto while you gain it? Why does one supplement work for everyone else but not you? Why do some people handle stress like it's nothing while it wrecks your sleep?
Genetics. Your DNA determines how your body processes food, supplements, toxins, and stress. It influences your methylation pathways, your detox capacity, your inflammatory response, and how you metabolize nutrients. When you know your genetic blueprint, you stop guessing and start making decisions that actually work for YOUR body.
Nutrigenomic testing at Meridian isn't about predicting disease or reading your ancestry. It's about finding the specific gene variants that affect your day-to-day health -- and building a supplement, nutrition, and lifestyle plan around them.
You test once. The data is yours forever. And every health decision you make going forward gets smarter because of it.
What Your Genes Reveal
Actionable insights you can use immediately -- not trivia about your ancestry.
How It Works
Simple Collection
A cheek swab -- that's all it takes. No blood draw, no needles. We collect the sample in-office or send a kit to your home. Takes 30 seconds.
Lab Analysis
The sample goes to a certified nutrigenomic lab. They analyze dozens of gene variants related to methylation, detox, inflammation, nutrient metabolism, and more. Results take 3 to 4 weeks.
Results Review
We sit down and walk through every finding. Plain English, no jargon. You'll understand what each variant means for your health and what we're going to do about it.
Personalized Protocol
Your supplement plan, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle recommendations are all built around your genetic profile. This is healthcare that fits your DNA -- not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions
We use nutrigenomic panels that focus on genes relevant to health outcomes you can actually influence -- methylation, detox pathways, nutrient metabolism, inflammation, and cardiovascular markers. This isn't ancestry testing or disease prediction. It's actionable health data.
Consumer DNA tests give you interesting trivia. Clinical nutrigenomic testing gives you actionable health data. We look at specific gene variants that affect how your body processes nutrients, handles toxins, manages inflammation, and responds to different diets and supplements. Then we build a plan around your results.
No -- and that's intentional. We focus on functional genes, not disease-prediction genes. The variants we test for are things you can do something about. If your MTHFR gene shows reduced methylation, we supplement with the right form of folate. If your detox genes are slow, we support those pathways. The goal is optimization, not anxiety.
Yes. Your genes don't change. One test gives you a lifetime blueprint. What changes is how we use that data -- as your health goals evolve, we can re-interpret the results and adjust your plan accordingly.
Typically 3 to 4 weeks for the lab to process the sample. Then we schedule a results consultation to walk through everything -- what the variants mean, what's actionable, and what your personalized plan looks like.
