🧬 Discover the Power of Your DNA
🧩 What DNA Health® Reveals About You
Have you ever wondered why certain diets, exercises, or treatments work for some people — but not for you? The answer lies in your biology. The DNA Health® Test goes beyond surface-level health advice. It analyzes key sections of your genetic code to uncover how your body truly works — from how you absorb nutrients, to how you fight inflammation, detoxify, and regulate energy. At Mindful Medical Care, we use DNA Health® to help you understand your own blueprint — and build a personalized plan based on what your body truly needs.
Biological Processes Tested:
- Lipid Metabolism: How your body processes fats, affecting cholesterol levels and heart health. This is important for prevention of heart attacks and strokes.
- Detoxification Pathways: Your ability to clear toxins efficiently through liver enzymes and protective pathways.
- Inflammatory Response: How prone your body is to chronic inflammation — a major driver of aging and disease.
- Oxidative Stress Defense: Your natural antioxidant systems that protect your cells from damage.
- Methylation Efficiency: Vital for energy production, brain function, DNA repair and resistance to cancer.
- Bone Health Factors: Genetic influences on bone density and strength.
- Insulin Sensitivity: How your body manages blood sugar, a critical factor in energy, weight control, and disease risk.
DNA Health® also analyzes how your body interacts with:
- Vitamins and Minerals: How well you absorb, use, and need nutrients like vitamin D, B vitamins, and calcium.
- Food Sensitivities: Including your genetic response to gluten, lactose, caffeine, and salt.
- Weight and Metabolism: Genetic influences on appetite, fat storage, and metabolism patterns.
- Exercise Recovery and Performance: How your muscles respond to strength and endurance training — and how quickly you heal.
This is not guesswork. It’s about customizing your lifestyle to match your biology.
DNA Health® is an essential tool for anyone who:
- Wants a deeper understanding of their unique biology
- Is serious about preventing chronic diseases — including cancer, heart attack, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease — through early, targeted action
- Struggles with unexplained fatigue, chronic inflammation, weight changes, or slow recovery
- Feels “stuck” despite trying multiple diets, exercise programs, or supplements
- Wants a clear, science-based foundation for personalized wellness, prevention, and performance optimization
Whether you are actively managing chronic health challenges or striving for peak performance and healthy aging, understanding your genetic blueprint gives you a powerful advantage — allowing you to take smarter steps today to protect your future.
🌟 Who Should Consider DNA Health® Testing?
🧪 How Testing Works at Mindful Medical Care
All genetic testing at Mindful Medical Care includes a 1-hour telemedicine or in-person (your choice) consultation with Dr. Maria Azizian.
Testing without expert interpretation and a personalized plan is incomplete.
Dr. Azizian will review your results, explain their meaning, and create a customized plan — including supplements, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes — tailored to your needs.
How It Works:
- After you purchase the test, the kit is drop-shipped to your home.
- Sample collection involves a simple fingerstick blood spot, placed on the collection card and mailed back using the prepaid envelope provided. No blood draw is required.
- Once your results are in, our office will schedule your 1-hour consultation with Dr. Azizian to review your findings and design your personalized treatment plan based on your results.

Learn More About Medical & Genetic Testing
There are a variety of genetic tests that are on the market. Here we feature a genetic variations test. It is a test that helps us show predispositions to certain diseases, including heart disease, cancer, stroke. Additionally, the test looks at our ability to metabolize vitamins, medications and certain foods.
A component of this test is nutrigenomics, meaning how certain foods affect our genes.
Another concept is Pharmacogenomics, that is the study of how an individual’s genetic makeup influences their response to medications.
LIPID METABOLISM: Looks at genetic components of fat metabolism (LDL, HDL, etc) in the context of being predisposed to heart issues and its prevention.
METHYLATION: DNA methylation implies an ability of DNA to repair itself. It is vital for healing, cancer prevention and aging.
DETOXIFICATION: Genetically predisposed ability to ward off and metabolize toxins.
INFLAMMATION: Inflammation is a normal response when there is an injury. However, inflammation that doesn’t turn off results in a chronic body inflammation that has been a culprit in many medical conditions, from arthritis to heart disease.
OXIDATIVE STRESS: Free radicals are byproducts of biochemical processes in the body. Antioxidants (specific enzymes) are found in the body to defend it from the free radicals. Deficiency in these enzymes is associated with certain cancers.
BONE HEALTH: After age of 30 bone loss starts in both men and women. These genes reflect our propensity for the degree of osteoporosis, probability of fractures, and risk of osteoarthritis.
INSULIN SENSITIVITY: The role of insulin is to transport glucose into the cells where it serves as an energy source and maintain a normal glucose level in the blood. When the body becomes less sensitive to insulin, metabolic syndrome and diabetes may occur.
Caffeine response: How many cups of coffee per day is safe for you to drink based on your genes?
Gluten Intolerance: How much do you need to worry about gluten? Are you prone to celiac disease?
Lactose Intolerance: How do you metabolize milk?
Salt Sensitivity: How closely do you need to watch your salt intake
Alcohol Metabolism: How do you metabolize alcohol?
It also investigates vitamin metabolism and individual’s need for replenishment:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin B12
In addition to DNA HEALTH test, there are other tests that look further into specific genes related to DIET, SPORT, SKIN, ESTROGEN, PAIN, RISK, RESILIENCE, and MEDCHECK (looks into individual ability to metabolize medications).
Explore Our Test Packages
Our process begins with an initial intake consultation to define the issue and decide which tests would be beneficial both medically and financially. We guide you towards the most medically high-yield and cost-effective testing and treatment options. We ensure that the results obtained from sophisticated testing improve your health.
