– THE PROBLEM
Partial testing gives you partial answers.
Partial testing gives you partial answers.
Methylation isn't controlled by one gene. It's a network of interacting pathways. When a test analyzes only part of that network, results can point you in the wrong direction entirely.

01
Tests that stop at MTHFR
MTHFR is the starting point, not the full picture. Your energy, mood, detoxification, and neurotransmitter function depend on at least 12 other genes working alongside it.
02
Small panels miss critical pathways
MTHFR is the starting point, not the full picture. Your energy, mood, detoxification, and neurotransmitter function depend on at least 12 other genes working alongside it.
02
Small panels miss critical pathways
Tests covering only 5 genes skip MAO-A, CBS, and VDR. These genes affect neurotransmitter clearance, sulfur metabolism, and vitamin D receptor function. Those gaps matter.
03
Wrong supplements, wasted money
When recommendations come from incomplete data, they may not address your actual bottlenecks. Some people take methylated B12 for years without results because the issue was in a gene their test never checked.
04
More questions than answers
People most frustrated after methylation testing are those whose results returned almost nothing actionable. A test should give you clarity, not more uncertainty.

Every gene we test. See what others miss.
Most methylation tests cover the first 5 genes on this list and stop there. The additional genes address pathways that are also critical to how your methylation system functions.

Why those additional genes matter.
MAO-A
Sometimes called the "warrior gene", it is involved in the breaking down of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. This variant may be associated with emotional disturbances.
VDR
Studies have shown that individuals with VDR variant(s) may exhibit a decrease in normal vitamin D receptor function. It also regulates some metabolic pathways related to the immune response. Most tests never look at this.
CBS
Some variants can cause excessive levels of homocysteine. Some studies have shown high levels of homocysteine to be associated with poor cardiovascular well-being.

Very detailed DNA test results and fantastic consultation!
"I've been hearing a lot about DNA tests lately thanks to Gary Brecka, but they charge $600. I went to LifeDNA and got an insane amount of detail and a 30-minute consult for less than half the price of 10X Health."

My experience with working with LifeDNA...
I researched all the companies and found that LifeDNA had a comprehensive approach and the cost was about 35% - 45% less than most companies in the marketplace. Once I got my results I was shocked how simply supplementing for my gaps gave me my energy back."
