What is genetic testing?

Genetic testing is a medical tool that examines your DNA to identify changes or variations in your genes, chromosomes, or proteins. These tests provide insights into genetic predispositions, helping you and your Clinic Infinity practitioner better understand your risks for certain health conditions, optimize treatments, and even personalize lifestyle recommendations.

What is the purpose of genetic testing?

The primary goal of genetic testing is to provide information about your genetic makeup. This can help:

Detect inherited conditions or genetic disorders
Assess the risk of developing specific diseases, such as cancer or heart disease
Determine how your body metabolizes medications to guide treatment decisions

Genetic testing also allows your Clinic Infinity practitioner to help personalize your lifestyle and nutrition plans based on your genetic tendencies.

How does genetic testing work?

Genetic testing typically involves collecting a sample of your DNA through a saliva swab, blood draw, or cheek swab. The sample is analyzed in a lab to identify genetic markers or variations linked to health, disease, or treatment responses. Your healthcare professional reviews your results and offers recommendations.

At Clinic Infinity, the team uses:
