Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a genetic test and an epigenetic test?

The genes that determine heredity constitute only a small part of the genome, 1 to 2%. The rest is composed of intergenic regions that do not code for proteins. A DNA test is performed once in a lifetime and provides precise, but static, information, since the genome does not change.

Epigenetics explains how the environment we provide for our cells can alter genetic activity without interfering with the DNA sequence.

Epigenetics reveals dynamic and changing information about gene expression at this stage of life. It analyzes external factors, the patient's interaction with the environment, and their sensitivity to low-intensity interference. Therefore, it is so precise in understanding what the body truly needs at the cellular level.

What is the testing process?

Fast, accurate, and non-invasive!

The process simply requires a few strands of hair. Combined with personalized questionnaires and assessments, we use this information to create a customized action plan tailored specifically to your needs.

How does our test work?

Our assessment uses the hair follicle as its primary biomarker.

Because of its biological complexity, the hair follicle provides a rich source of information that allows us to generate comprehensive results based on your unique biological profile. The tiny muscle attached to each hair follicle constantly detects changes not only in temperature and atmospheric pressure, but also environmental vibrations and frequencies.

Using our proprietary technology, we identify genomic regions with biochemical activity and evaluate nutritional needs and environmental factors that may influence gene expression.

Our S-Drive device scans these biological markers, which are then processed in our German laboratory to generate a comprehensive report based on your individual biological information.

Every day, scientific research continues to provide new evidence showing how nutritional, emotional, and environmental factors influence gene expression.

Is food sensitivity the same as a food intolerance or allergy?

No.

It is important to understand that this assessment does not diagnose food allergies or food intolerances.

Although someone with a food allergy may describe themselves as "sensitive" to a particular food, medically speaking, food allergy, food intolerance, and food sensitivity are three distinct conditions.

How does temporary food sensitivity affect the body?

When your body has difficulty processing certain foods, it may need to draw energy from other bodily resources in order to digest and absorb essential nutrients.

This process can occur without noticeable symptoms or may produce more obvious physical reactions.

Will I get the same results as a DNA test, blood test, or other laboratory tests?

No.

The epixlife® assessment is fundamentally different from most conventional health tests because it combines advanced science and technology to evaluate gene expression, rather than genetic sequencing.

Our testing identifies nutritional and environmental factors that influence how your genes are expressed. It does not analyze your DNA sequence.

Because the biological sample and methodology are entirely different, your epixlife® results may differ significantly from routine blood work. Rather than measuring blood chemistry, epixlife® evaluates biological processes occurring within your cells using the hair follicle as its biological marker.

How is an epigenetic nutrition plan different from a traditional sports nutrition plan?

Traditional sports nutrition primarily focuses on providing the calories and macronutrients needed to support training and athletic performance.

Epigenetic nutrition goes a step further by evaluating how specific foods may interact with your genes to optimize key biological processes such as energy production, muscle recovery, inflammation management, and stress response.

This allows for a much higher level of nutritional personalization.

How do I know if an epigenetic nutrition program is right for me?

An epigenetic nutrition program can benefit anyone looking to optimize their health and performance.

It is especially valuable for individuals who have tried conventional nutrition plans without achieving their desired results or who are looking for a more personalized approach tailored to their unique biology.

How can epigenetic nutrition help me age more healthfully?

Precision nutrition allows you to positively influence gene expression through targeted dietary choices, supporting healthier aging at the cellular level.

We evaluate which foods promote cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and support your body's natural regenerative processes. We also assess your lifestyle and provide a comprehensive wellness plan designed to help slow cellular aging, improve cognitive function, strengthen bones and joints, and maintain a healthy body weight.

Can epigenetic nutrition help prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's?

Epigenetic nutrition may influence the expression of genes involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurodegeneration.

By following a nutrition plan that supports cellular health and reduces chronic inflammation, it may help lower the risk of developing neurodegenerative conditions.

For example, diets rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and B vitamins have been associated with protective effects on brain health.

Can epigenetic nutrition help prevent chronic diseases in children?

Yes.

Epigenetic nutrition can play an important role in reducing the long-term risk of chronic disease.

Establishing healthy eating habits early in life supports proper growth and development while helping lower the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic health conditions later in adulthood.

How do Premium payments work, and what if I need help during sign-up?

Premium and VIP plans are billed on a recurring subscription basis in USD or the applicable local currency.
