DNA Testing

What is DNA testing?

DNA testing is a type of genetic testing that plays an important role in preventive health. By analyzing your genetics, it’s possible to determine your risk of certain health problems and the type of treatment that most benefits you. 

Executive Medicine of Texas offers DNA testing as part of a concierge medicine program, but it is an add-on service. Individuals can undergo DNA testing to achieve their weight loss goals or to help them age more gracefully.

3x4 Genetic Testing

Your genes don’t work in isolation – they work with each other and the body’s environment. What we eat, how we move, our stress levels and our emotional lives affect how our genes behave. Understanding our individual genetic blueprint can guide us to make health choices that help us to live happier, longer and better.

Who is a candidate for DNA testing?
