Unique individuals deserve personalized healthcare.

Empower your employees to prepare for the future they want with genetic testing.

The opposite of a one-size-fits-all approach.

Genetic testing empowers individuals to uncover their risk factors for various conditions, medication responses and more. It’s powerful information, especially since the cost of illness or chronic disease is often so much greater than the cost of a test.

Polygenic Risk Score

This test helps individuals understand their risk level for common diseases (including breast cancer, prostate cancer, type II diabetes, coronary artery disease and Alzheimer's disease) so they know where to focus when it comes to preventive health.
Suggested test:

Carrier Screening

Carrier screening allows individuals to make informed decisions that empower them along their reproductive journey. Through this screen, they can uncover unknown genetic conditions before and during pregnancy which may also help with family planning decisions.
Screening for carrier status of over 400 different recessive genetic conditions.
Suggested test:

Epigenetics of Aging

An individual’s age according to their birthdate and their biological age aren’t necessarily the same, and reducing biological age may significantly lower the risk of age-related illnesses. Through this genetic screening, individuals learn their biological age, rate of aging, telomere length and more. This screening can be repeated annually to gain insights into how lifestyle and environment might have impacted their aging process.
