About Functional Genomics

What is Functional Genomics?

Functional Genomics is a cutting-edge DNA saliva test designed to uncover how your genetic variations may influence key processes in your body. This test focuses on functional genetic variations—not ancestry or disease predisposition. Instead, it reveals potential weaknesses in critical areas like:

  • Free radical production and antioxidant levels (cellular protection and aging)

  • Digestion and nutrient metabolism (optimal nutrient absorption)

  • Detoxification pathways (removal of environmental toxins)

  • Neurotransmitter balance (mental health and brain function)

  • Mitochondrial function (energy production and healthy aging)

Why Does It Matter?

Your DNA acts as the blueprint for every process in your body, guiding the creation of enzymes that drive vital functions. However, genetic mutations, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), can lead to underproduction or overproduction of certain enzymes. This imbalance may contribute to symptoms like fatigue, inflammation, poor digestion, or mental health challenges.

Dr. Megan Ross is trained in functional genomics analysis and specializes in interpreting your unique genetic data. By understanding where your genetic "weak spots" are, Dr. Ross customizes a plan to compensate for these variations. Through personalized nutrition, targeted supplementation, and tailored lifestyle recommendations, you can support your body's natural processes, reduce stress, and optimize your health for the long term.

Why Choose Functional Genomics?

This test is not about ancestry, it’s about function. The goal is to uncover genetic weaknesses that may:

  • Lead to excess inflammation or oxidative stress

  • Limit your body’s ability to absorb and use nutrients

  • Impair detoxification, leaving you vulnerable to toxin buildup

  • Cause imbalances in neurotransmitters, impacting mood and stress levels

  • Reduce mitochondrial efficiency, leaving you feeling fatigued

Dr. Ross creates a truly personalized approach to health, helping you restore balance and resilience by targeting the root causes of dysfunction.
