Unlocking Your Genetic Potential: How 3X4 Genetics Testing Transforms Your Wellness Journey

If you’ve been eating well, exercising, and following health advice—yet still feel stuck—your genes may hold the key to your health. Nutrigenomics, the study of how diet and lifestyle affect gene expression, can provide valuable insights into your unique biology.

This is where the 3X4 Genetics test comes into play. This simple cheek-swab test analyzes over 134 genes and more than 500 genetic variants. It employs a science-based, systems biology approach to reveal how your body functions. Rather than focusing on isolated genes, 3X4 organizes results into pathways, offering a clearer picture of how your genes interact to influence metabolism, inflammation, hormones, mood, and more.

What Does 3X4 Test For?

Your 3X4 results are organized into six key health systems, providing clear guidance on how they affect your symptoms and long-term health risks. This comprehensive insight into your genetic makeup can drive significant improvements in your overall wellness.

Weight & Metabolism

Understand how your genes impact insulin sensitivity, fat storage, and appetite regulation—specifically by exploring variants in genes like FTO and MC4R. These insights help you create a nutrition plan tailored to your biology.

For example, studies have shown that individuals with the FTO gene variant are, on average, 1.67 times more likely to be obese than those without it. By knowing your genetic predispositions, you can adjust your dietary choices to include foods that promote a healthier metabolism. This makes your health journey more manageable and effective, helping to avoid common pitfalls in dieting.

Hormone Balance

Understanding how your body metabolizes estrogen (through genes like COMT and CYP1B1) or how you detoxify excess hormones can illuminate why you might experience conditions like PMS or symptoms of menopause.

When you know your genetic background, you can collaborate with healthcare professionals to build a plan that supports hormonal health. For instance, adjusting your lifestyle according to test results can significantly reduce hormone-related symptoms, ensuring you feel your best throughout your cycles.

Fitness & Recovery

Learn how your muscular response to different types of exercise can inform your training strategy. Breaking down your genetic predispositions—like those linked to the ACTN3 gene—helps identify whether you should focus on strength training or endurance workouts.

Over 25% of the population carries the “sprint” variant of ACTN3; knowing this about yourself can guide you toward more effective workouts. Tailoring your exercise routines not only optimizes performance but also helps reduce the risk of injury and speeds up recovery.

Cardiovascular Health

Explore your genetic predispositions for cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and inflammation—factors that are critical in assessing your risk for heart disease.

Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, accounting for 31% of all global deaths in 2021 alone. By understanding your genetic risks, you can implement early intervention strategies tailored to your unique genetic profile. This proactive approach can lead to significant improvements in heart health and longevity.

Inflammation & Detoxification

Find out how your body handles inflammation and oxidative stress (like GST and SOD variants), and how effectively it eliminates toxins—key for longevity and chronic disease prevention.

For example, if your test shows a predisposition for heightened inflammatory responses, you might choose anti-inflammatory foods such as salmon and leafy greens. This informed dietary choice can improve your overall health and help you feel more energized.

Brain Health & Mood

Gain insight into neurotransmitter pathways, including dopamine, serotonin, and cortisol sensitivity (e.g., MTHFR, MAO-A), which can explain mood fluctuations, energy levels, and your resilience to stress.

Moving Forward with 3X4 Genetics

Why Choose to Work With a Practitioner?

You can buy some genetic tests online, but interpreting the results without clinical support often leads to confusion or, worse, misguided choices.

Here’s what sets our approach apart:

• Personalized Interpretation: We connect the dots between your genes, symptoms, lab results, lifestyle, and goals. We don’t just hand you a report—we translate it into meaningful, actionable steps.

• Evidence-Based Recommendations: Using the latest research in functional and nutritional genomics, we build a targeted strategy that covers diet, exercise, supplements, and lifestyle modifications.

• Integrated Care: Your genetic blueprint becomes part of your broader health plan, helping us fine-tune interventions and avoid unnecessary guesswork.

• Ongoing Support: Implementing change takes time. We offer follow-up, accountability, and adjustments based on how your body responds.

While direct-to-consumer genetic tests can be less expensive upfront, they don’t provide the personalized support or clinical perspective necessary to make the most of your results. Working with us turns genetic data into a real plan of action—tailored to your body and your life.

Who Is 3X4 Best For?

This test is a great fit for people who:

• Have unexplained symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or hormone imbalances

• Have tried multiple diets or plans with limited success

• Want a more precise, individualized approach to long-term health and prevention

• Are curious about how their genes influence their habits, preferences, and risk factors

Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or looking to optimize your current plan, 3X4 can provide clarity, direction, and a stronger foundation for your next steps.

If you’d like to learn more or find out if 3X4 is a good fit for your health goals, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help you understand your body better—one gene at a time.

In Health,
