Methylation gene testing at Enhance Aesthetics & Wellness evaluates select genetic variants - including MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, COMT, and AHCY - that may influence individual response to certain nutrients, such as folate forms, and certain medications. Test results are used to inform individualized nutritional recommendations, not to diagnose or treat disease.
WHAT THE TEST LOOKS AT
Methylation is a basic biochemical process your body performs millions of times a day - turning genes on and off, processing certain neurotransmitters, and clearing certain compounds. Some people carry genetic variants that change how efficiently that machinery works. Knowing where you are on those variants can inform whether the methylated form of a B vitamin, for example, is a better fit for you than a non-methylated one.
WHAT RESULTS DO (AND DO NOT) MEAN
Results are educational. They are not used to diagnose or treat disease, and they are not a verdict on your health. What they can do is inform practical choices - which nutrient forms make sense for you, and how to prioritize them. Marina Roloff, DNP, FNP-C, reviews your results with you and translates them into specific, individualized nutritional recommendations.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Testing is performed through a simple cheek swab or blood draw. Results are analyzed and reviewed with Marina, who will develop a personalized plan that may include targeted supplementation, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations based on your specific genetic profile.
