WOMAN’S HEALTH
In today’s fast-paced world, with increased levels of stress, nearly daily use of hormonal therapies (such as birth control) and exceeding demands for energy – understanding where our hormonal health needs support is key to being in balance.
Woman’s Health genetic test investigates hormonal, energy and stress resistance predispositions.
Hormonal predispositions are the aging blueprint for a woman’s body–from skin quality, fertility, and energy to premature aging–all revolves around hormones. It is extremely important to understand genetic predispositions that are responsible for hormonal synthesis and secretion, including estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and others, as they are essential for overall hormonal balance. These genes can affect the sensitivity and responsiveness of hormone receptors, influencing how effectively hormones exert their effects throughout the body.
Genes: CYP19A1, CYP3A4, ESR1, ESR2, CYP1B1, COMT, MTHFR, GSTM1, GSTP1, SULT1A1, SULT1E1, SULT2A1, UGT1A1, UGT1A6, CYP17A1, SRD5A2.
Our genes encode the biochemical processes involved in energy metabolizm and recuperation. It impacts the way we sleep, manage weight, excell and feel our best.
Genes: COMT, ADRB1, ADRB2, NQO1, DRD2.
Genetic variations play a key role in programming individual’s susceptibility to emotional and mental stressors. One critical factor is the regulation of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which are involved in mood regulation. Genetic variations can impact the production, breakdown, or receptor sensitivity of these neurotransmitters, leading to differences in an individual’s emotional responses, motivation, energy levels and stress resilience.
