Uncovering Your Unique Nutritional Needs
Nutrition is vital for the optimal functioning of all body systems, and inadequate nutrition is linked to many chronic diseases. Genova's Metabolomix+ is a comprehensive nutritional test measuring over 125 biomarkers and is revolutionizing personalized health assessments. This test goes beyond standard lab work to uncover your body's unique biochemical blueprint, providing crucial insights for improving your health.
Limitations of Traditional Lab Work
Standard lab tests often measure direct nutrient levels, such as Vitamin B12, but they may not reveal how well your body utilizes these nutrients at the cellular level. Metabolomix+ addresses this limitation, offering a more comprehensive view by assessing how nutrients are processed in your body.
Crafting Your Unique "Biochemical Blueprint"
By analyzing a range of biomarkers, including organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, and oxidative stress markers, Metabolomix+ generates a detailed map of your nutritional status. This personalized "biochemical blueprint" identifies specific nutrient needs, informing targeted dietary and supplement recommendations.
What's Tested?
Organic Acids: Evaluate how effectively your body converts food into energy, processes brain chemical messengers related to mood, detoxifies substances, regulates tissue damage, and how well your gut bacteria are functioning.
Amino Acids: These are the building blocks of proteins essential for your organs and tissues, such as muscles.
Fatty Acids (Optional Add-On): Measure Omega-3, Omega-6, and saturated fats like C15:0, assessing their impact on inflammation and overall health.
Elements (Optional Add-On): Gain insights into levels of toxic heavy metals that can negatively affect health and the minerals essential for cellular function.
SNPs (Optional Add-On): Analyze Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms such as MTHFR, COMT, TNF-a, and APOE through a buccal swab, providing insights into methylation processes, inflammation, and cholesterol regulation.
How Will This Test Help You?
Your Metabolomix+ results include personalized nutritional recommendations and detailed information about the function of nutrients, the causes and complications of deficiencies, and dietary sources. Your results provide insights into:
Energy Production: With the help of specific B-vitamins and minerals, any imbalances affecting your ability to produce energy can be corrected, giving you the energy you need.
Performance: Addressing imbalances in fatty acids, amino acids, B-vitamins, and minerals can boost physical performance. Correcting protein deficiencies helps maintain healthy muscle mass.
Disease Risk: An imbalance of omega-3s and omega-6s can increase the risk of heart disease. Even with a healthy diet, there may be nutritional shortfalls.
Inflammation: Inflammation may result from imbalanced fatty acids due to poor dietary choices, such as excessive fast food or red meat.
Metabolic Health: Adjustments in diet or supplements based on your results can help stabilize insulin and improve blood sugar balance.
Toxic Exposure: Understanding your exposure to poor quality water, food, and air can help you take steps to protect your health.
Innovative "Functional Assessment" Approach
What distinguishes Metabolomix+ is its "functional assessment" approach. Rather than simply measuring nutrient levels, it evaluates biochemical pathways that require specific vitamins and minerals. This can uncover inefficiencies or imbalances not evident in conventional tests, such as when Vitamin B12 appears normal but isn't utilized effectively at a cellular level.
What to Expect from the Metabolomix+ Test
The Metabolomix+ test is designed for convenience, allowing for at-home sample collection. To prepare, follow specific dietary and fluid intake guidelines, and consult with your healthcare provider about any necessary medication adjustments. The test primarily involves collecting a first morning void urine sample. If additional analysis is needed, you may also collect a bloodspot or cheek swab. Once you've collected your samples, use the prepaid materials to send them to the lab within 24 hours. After approximately two weeks, you'll receive the results, which will include personalized recommendations for addressing your nutrient needs and potential health interventions. We highly recommend that you also consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the results in detail, allowing you to gain a deep understanding of your nutritional status and develop a tailored plan to support your health goals.
Who Might Benefit from Metabolomix+?
This nutritional test is suitable for those dealing with:
Fatigue, depression, and anxiety
Challenges in athletic performance and disease risk
Heart disease, diabetes, and obesity
Nutritional planning, gut problems, and wound healing
Autoimmune diseases, brain health, skin issues, and joint pain
Metabolomix+ helps identify nutrient imbalances, guiding interventions that target energy production, manage inflammation, and optimize metabolic health.
