Functional and epigenetic analyses
Advanced assessments based on functional and epigenetic biomarkers, which provide a deep understanding of metabolic, inflammatory status and individual longevity potential.
Our functional and epigenetic tests have been specifically chosen to provide a detailed representation of the impact your current lifestyle has on your body, your genetic expression, and your long-term health.
FAQ`S
What is the fundamental difference between conventional laboratory analyses and functional/epigenetic testing?
Conventional analyses are designed to identify already established pathologies by comparing the patient's values with a broad (population) reference range. Functional and epigenetic testing evaluates individual biochemistry and regulatory mechanisms (metabolism, methylation, oxidative stress) before disease onset. The goal is not just the absence of disease, but achieving optimal physiological functioning.
How can epigenetic tests influence the therapeutic protocol, given that DNA is fixed?
Although the genetic sequence (DNA) remains unchanged, gene expression (epigenetics) is dynamic and influenced by external factors. Epigenetic testing identifies predispositions and biological “switches” that can be turned on or off through targeted interventions in diet, lifestyle, and specific supplementation, enabling precision medicine that modulates inherited genetic risks.
To what extent can the results of these analyses dictate a change in the management of chronic diseases?
These analyses provide the physician with a causal “map” of the dysfunction. For example, instead of generically treating inflammation, functional tests may reveal a compromised intestinal barrier or a specific enzyme deficiency. This approach allows for the personalization of the protocol at the molecular level, increasing the success rate of treatment and reducing polypharmacy (overuse of medications).
