Blood lipids, e.g. cholesterol and triglycerides, are a natural and important part of our body, but can cause problems if present in excess. The amount of these lipids in your blood is a combination of what your body makes and what you absorb from your diet. DNA influences both of these, but your dietary choices and lifestyle factors, like stress, drive most of the final outcome. There are some rare conditions that result in high cholesterol and/or triglycerides, regardless of diet, such as familial hypercholesterolemia, and this product does not test for those.
Some diet decisions, like eating lots of meats and cheeses, may increase your blood lipids, and this might impact your heart health. A blood test is the best way to measure your blood lipids, and your doctor or a cardiologist can help you understand any health impacts from those results. Otherwise, DNA insights from this product can be used to help you make healthy diet decisions for your heart.
DNA is just the start. Diet and lifestyle choices have a larger impact on your heart health, or in some cases, rare conditions not included in this product.
Because this product includes a blood panel test, WellnessFX will provide a physician to review your health history to ensure it’s right for you. A physician will also review your blood panel results results once they’re ready.
