Metabolic Health Panel

Description

Overview

• Metabolic health is the foundation of long-term wellness, influencing how individuals process nutrients, regulate weight, and respond to dietary patterns. The Testing Shop’s Metabolic Health Profile analyzes 65+ SNPs to uncover genetic predispositions related to nutrient metabolism, eating behavior, taste perception, and metabolic disease risk.
• This panel provides healthcare professionals with precision insights into diet response, eating behaviors, and cardiometabolic vulnerabilities, empowering providers to create personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies that optimize health outcomes, prevent chronic disease, and enhance patient care.

What This Test Covers

• Taste Perception
  • Evaluates genetic influences on food preferences and palatability that impact dietary choices
  • Sweet Taste Perception
  • Bitter Taste Perception

• Eating Behavior
  • Assesses genetic predisposition to patterns that affect weight regulation and dietary compliance
  • Tendency to Snack

• Macronutrient Metabolism
  • Examines how the body processes key dietary macronutrients, influencing energy balance and weight management
  • Carbohydrate Response
  • Protein Response
  • Saturated Fat Response
  • Unsaturated Fat Benefits

• Metabolic Health Disorder
  • Identifies genetic risks for chronic metabolic conditions and cardiovascular outcomes
  • Weight Management
  • Cholesterol Regulation
  • Type 2 Diabetes Risk
  • Triglyceride Dysregulation
  • Coronary Artery Disease Risk
  • Myocardial Infarction Risk
  • Hypertension Risk

 

Each trait is classified as (High, Medium, or Low) genetic risk or propensity based on its nature, and paired with personalized, evidence-based insights for action.

 

Why It Matters

 

Who Should Take This Test

• Individuals at elevated risk for obesity, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease who want preventive, data-driven care.
• Performance-focused clients who require tailored macronutrient and energy strategies for peak results.
• Midlife and older adults aiming to reduce cardiometabolic risks and maintain vitality.
• Wellness, nutrition, and integrative medicine practices seeking to deliver next-level, personalized health solutions.

 

What You’ll Receive

• Comprehensive Genetic Report
  • Organized into clear categories and subcategories, covering key health areas. Each trait is classified by level of genetic risk based on the relevance of associated markers.

• Personalized Insights
  • Actionable insights across nutrition, lifestyle, supplementation, and lab markers to support optimal metabolic balance and long-term health.

• SNP-Specific Risk Interpretations (optional, based on your requirements)
  • Genetic marker identification (e.g., gene name, rsID)
    Patient genotype results and what it means for your patient’s health
    Scientific explanation of how these genes influence specific health traits

 

Turnaround Time

Results will be available approximately 2 to 3 weeks from the receipt of the sample and will be securely delivered through the Provider Portal, enabling seamless access, viewing, and sharing of reports.

 

Collection Method

The testing Shop kits include all necessary self-collection devices for non-invasive, at-home saliva collection, making it easy to deliver real-time, data-driven healthcare solutions without the need for lab visits.
