Good to Know
Common questions.
How is this different from 23andMe?
Two ways. First, coverage: a consumer kit checks a few hundred thousand positions on a genotyping array; this panel covers roughly 1,000 genes chosen for how they function, plus core pharmacogenomics, which consumer raw data genuinely cannot do reliably. Second, and more importantly: 23andMe hands you data. This hands you an explanation, and a program that walks you through your own results until you can read them yourself.
Do I need any background in science?
None. The entire program assumes zero background. That's the whole point: explaining this clearly is what I do.
Is this medical care?
No. These are educational programs grounded in functional genomic interpretation. They are not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by your physician, and they aren't meant to be. Many clients bring their results into conversations with their own providers.
Is the teaching live, or recorded?
Right now, it's live: a scheduled session with me each week where we work through your systems and your actual results together. Recorded versions of the teaching are being built now; once they're ready, you'll choose to learn from the recordings on your own schedule or keep it live. The goal never changes: you leave each week genuinely understanding that system or pathway, not just having heard something about it.
Do I have to book a sales call before I can buy?
No. Everything you'd learn on a call is on
the What's Included page: the panel, the science, the limits, the privacy terms. If something still isn't clear, a consultation is there. If it is clear, just start.
What if I already have 23andMe or Ancestry data?
Start with the free Raw Data Course. It teaches you how to download your file, what it can honestly tell you, and, just as importantly, where it will mislead you. No purchase required.
How long does it take?
Your kit ships as soon as you order, the saliva collection takes about five minutes at home, and your results appear in your portal a few weeks after the lab receives your sample. The program is self-paced from there.
Will my genetic information stay private?
Yes. Your data lives in your private portal. It is not sold, not shared with insurers, and not used for research without your explicit consent. You can download it or request deletion.
