Next-level genetic and genomic testing for precision health, preventive diagnostics, and individualized wellness strategies.

Genetic Testing in Ann Arbor, MI

In today's day and age it's becoming more and more difficult to make sense of all the viable health suggestions found on the internet. While there are many credible resources, it is overwhelming to decide what is best for YOU unless you know who you are genetically.

This is where next-level genetic and genomic testing comes into play. With ever-increasing access to cutting-edge genetic/genomic tests, some of which are capable of examining ALL 22,000 genes linked to nearly every conceivable illness, why wouldn't everyone want this information?

Since 2008, Natural Balance Wellness Medical Center has been on the forefront of such 'precision' and 'genetic' approaches to complex health problems and preventive diagnostics.

Common questions about our genetic testing programs and what you can expect.

There are more than 2,000 different genetic tests available today. At Natural Balance, we use cutting-edge genomic tests capable of examining all 22,000 genes linked to nearly every conceivable illness, providing comprehensive insight into your genetic makeup.

Why should I get genetic testing?

Genetic testing is a highly effective tool for identifying potential health issues before they develop. It's also helpful for determining the appropriate course of treatment for illnesses, or for checking how your body is processing treatment.

What will my preventive genetic results show?

Your results reveal genetic susceptibilities to specific diseases, how your body metabolizes nutrients and medications, optimal diet and exercise types for your genetic profile, and areas where preventive action can significantly reduce health risks.

Why is this important?

Knowing who you are genetically allows your healthcare team to create truly individualized strategies for diet, exercise, therapies, lifestyle, nutritional supplements, prevention, and anti-aging — rather than following generic one-size-fits-all recommendations.

What are nutrigenomics?

Nutrigenomics is the study of how your genes interact with the nutrients you consume. It helps determine which foods, supplements, and dietary patterns are optimal for your unique genetic profile, enabling precision nutrition tailored specifically to you.
