Lifestyle Genetic Testing Toronto

Lifestyle genetic testing can help you understand your body and what it needs in order to thrive. Genetic testing can provide insights into:

• Physical fitness – tailor your exercise regime to reduce risk of injury and aid the treatment/prevention of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Learn about your motivation to exercise, bone health, pain tolerance and requirements for recovery time.
• Food sensitivities/intolerances – understand how you metabolize alcohol and caffeine to know your limit and prevent associated disease. Find out if you are intolerant to things such as lactose or sensitive to gluten and sodium.
• Diet – determine your ideal diet and macronutrient ratios to reduce weight, your risk of diabetes and to effectively lower triglyceride levels.
• Specific nutrient needs – know your susceptibility to nutrient deficiencies for exact dosing requirements and dietary needs. Including, vitamins A, B2, B6, B9/Folic Acid, B12, C, D, E; minerals – calcium, iron; omega 3 fatty acids; phosphatidylcholine; antioxidants, and probiotics.
• Mental well-being – identify biochemical nuances that impact your sensitivity to stress, mental and cognitive health, and risk for addiction.
• Lifestyle disease – understand underlying genetic susceptibilities to lifestyle diseases. By identifying these inherent pathways, precise preventative interventions will be integrated into your health protocol. Topics include:
  • Detoxification – know if you are more sensitive to histamine, sulfites or the harmful effects of chemicals in smoked & charred meats that contribute to disease.
  • Hormonal balance and hormone-based disease – are you a candidate for hormone therapy, or at risk for imbalance with testosterone, estrogen or thyroid hormones.
  • Risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and factors such as appetite, satiety, response to exercise, snacking habits that contribute to their development.
  • Neurological health – depression, anxiety, late-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Heart health – high cholesterol, plaque development, high blood pressure.

As a leader in lifestyle genetic testing in Toronto, we are passionate about improving your health and wellness through a collaborative approach to our therapies. The process of genetic testing is as follows:

1. After your genetic kit is sent to the lab, it will take approximately three weeks to receive your results.
2. Once your results are in, you will be notified that your genetic results are ready, and you will be scheduled for a consultation to review your genetic report with an Ace Sports Clinic’s Lifestyle Genetics Advisor. 
3. After reviewing your intake forms and genetic report, we will discuss the most impactful sections of your genetic results based on your health goals.
4. After your appointment, you will be provided with a concise summary of your genetic report accompanied by our recommendations. In addition, you will gain access to your full genetic report through your own unique password protected portal.
5. We may recommend a follow up appointment to obtain additional information and testing to curate your individual treatment program. 
6. Follow-up visits thereafter are based on your program, necessity and health goals and may include other therapies such as physiotherapy, kinesiology, osteopathy and more!
