Self-Assessment

Are your genes dirty?

Diet, lifestyle, and environmental exposure can flip unhealthy genes on and off. This self-assessment is a useful tool for exploring how personality traits and health concerns may be linked to overburdened, poorly functioning genes.

Score each section, then bring your results to your health practitioner to guide lifestyle modifications and supplementation.
