Understanding DNA and Your Health

dnaPower helps you understand how your unique genes influence your nutrition, fitness, and overall health. Our reports translate your genetic data into personalized, action steps to support long-term wellness.

Your genes influence how your body handles food, exercise, inflammation, detoxification, and more. dnaPower identifies common genetic variations that may increase health risks so you can make proactive, informed lifestyle choices.

DNA is your body’s blueprint. By analyzing key genes involved in nutrition, metabolism, brain health, fitness performance, and detoxification, dnaPower helps you understand how your body functions so you can optimize daily decisions that impact long-term health.

We test over 250 health and wellness genes in 80+ categories to identify areas where your body may need additional support. This insight helps you make informed choices that support prevention and longevity.

Prevention starts with understanding your body’s unique needs. dnaPower helps you maintain long-term health by revealing how you process nutrients, respond to inflammation, detoxify, methylate, and much more.

Your genes influence how you metabolize nutrients, build muscle, recover from exercise, burn fat, and respond to different training styles. dnaPower shows you what is likely to work best for your body. This reduces guesswork in your wellness plan.

dnaPower focuses on actionable, preventative wellness genetics. We provide comprehensive analysis of 250+ variations related to nutrition, fitness, methylation, metabolism, and general wellness — areas where lifestyle changes can make a measurable difference in your life. Every totalPower kit includes a professional consultation to ensure you get the most from your results. Your data is never shared or sold.

DNA sequencing reads your genetic code to uncover variations that may affect your health, nutrition, fitness, and metabolism.

We analyze genes linked to metabolism, cardiovascular tendencies, detoxification pathways, methylation efficiency, fitness performance, nutrient absorption, brain health, and general wellness.

Our scientific team selects genetic markers based on peer-reviewed research, focusing on markers related to health and disease prevention.

Polygenic scoring combines information from multiple genetic markers to provide a more accurate and comprehensive health picture. Rather than relying on a single variation, this method reflects the combined influence of several genes for deeper insight.

No. DNA testing is based on genetic sequencing. It is far more precise and science-based, providing personalized insights unique to you.

Anyone can take a dnaPower test! We’ve tested new born babies to centarians. Parental consent is required for individuals under 18.

Absolutely! dnaPower kits make meaningful wellness gifts that show you care about someone’s long-term health.

Sample Collection

Easily! Use the cheek swab included in your kit at home by following the simple instructions.

In Canada, use the prepaid return mailer included in your kit. International customers can follow the return instructions provided.

Completely safe and non-invasive. A simple cheek swab provides all the DNA required for testing.

Eating or drinking may temporarily affect cell collection. Avoid food, water, beverages, and teeth brushing for 30 minutes before swabbing to ensure optimal results.

Unopened kits last for years. Collected samples remain stable in the preservation solution for months. However, we recommend mailing your sample promptly after collection.

Yes. With totalPower Connect, you can upload raw data from 23andMe, Ancestry, or other compatible providers and receive your dnaPower wellness report within 48 hours.

Most insurance plans do not currently cover wellness DNA testing. However, some health plans include a Health Spending Account (HSA), which may allow reimbursement. Please confirm with your provider.

Understanding Your Results

Results are typically ready 2–4 weeks after we receive your sample.

Our reports are designed to be simple, clear and practical. Your totalPower kit includes a 45-minute consultation to review your individual results and answer your questions.

Not at all. Genetic variations are common and part of normal human diversity. They indicate tendencies, not certainties. Awareness allows you to support your body proactively.

No. dnaPower testing identifies predispositions and may help you identify where you are more likely to have issues over time. However, it is provided for informational purposes and is not a medical diagnoses. If you are experiencing symptoms or illness, please consult your healthcare provider.

Our focus is preventative wellness. We analyze genes related to nutrition, metabolism, cardiovascular support, detoxification, and brain health. Some genes may have research connections to more serious conditions, but our goal is lifestyle-based prevention rather than disease diagnosis.

In many cases, yes. Genetics may influence tendencies, but lifestyle strongly influences gene expression. Nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and environmental exposures all play powerful roles.

Your DNA does not change, so genetic testing is typically done once in a lifetime. Other testing such as microbiome or epigenetic testing may be repeated over time to monitor changes.

The markers included in dnaPower reports are selected based on peer-reviewed research. dnaPower testing is a wellness and educational tool and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease.

Yes. dnaPower reports are easy to share and can help healthcare professionals tailor nutrition, supplement, and fitness plans within their professional scope.

Clients often discover new insights and adjust their nutrition, supplement protocols, exercise routines, and recovery strategies. Many report improvements in energy, digestion, mental clarity, and overall wellness.

Privacy and Data Protection

You. Your data is private unless you choose to share it with a healthcare professional.

No. dnaPower does not ever sell or share your genetic data.

Data is protected using secure encryption and stored in Canada under strict privacy standards.

Samples are identified by barcode only in the lab. They are stored securely for a limited period for potential retesting and then destroyed in accordance with Canadian privacy regulations.

In Canada, the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act protects you. Insurers cannot request or use your genetic test results. Regulations may differ in other countries.

No. dnaPower is a wellness and educational genetic test. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent disease. Your health practitioners may provide within their professional scope of practice.

Our mission is to empower proactive, lifestyle-based health decisions. Rather than focus on rare diseases, dnaPower emphasizes everyday choices — nutrition, exercise, metabolism, detoxification, and aging — where you have meaningful control and opportunity to influence your overall health.
