Use your genetic information to detect your allergies and experience relief.
Do you suffer from allergies?
Understanding how your genetic predispositions affect your body’s responses to foods, chemicals, and other allergens can help you detect your sensitivities, avoid exposure, and alleviate your symptoms.
Allergy reports are categorized into five groups:
Food Allergies
The body’s immune system keeps you healthy by fighting off infections and other dangers to good health. A food allergy reaction occurs when your immune system overreacts to a food or a substance in a food, identifying it as a danger and triggering a protective response.
Learn more about your genetic predispositions for food allergies.
Indoor Allergies
Millions of people suffer year-round from allergy symptoms caused by indoor allergens. Although many substances in dust can trigger allergic symptoms, the most important indoor allergens are dust mites, pet dander, cockroaches, and molds. Unlike seasonal allergies, indoor allergies may last all year long.
Explore how your genetics impact your response to indoor allergens.
Outdoor Allergies
The most common sources of outdoor allergens are pollen. Tree pollen are most common in the spring; grass pollen are most common in the summer; and weed pollen are most common in the summer and fall.
Explore your predispositions for outdoor allergies in this section.
Sensitivity to Chemicals
Whether or not your body is sensitive to chemicals is influenced by your genetics. Chemical sensitivity can be triggered by toxic waste sites, basements, ventilation systems, industrial emissions, mold, bacteria, pesticides, paint, even jewelry.
Explore your genetic predispositions for chemical sensitivities.
Other Sensitivities
In addition to food, outdoor, indoor, and chemical allergies, your genetic makeup can also influence other sensitivities that impact your life.
Explore how your genetics impact motion sickness, pain sensitivity, seasonality, noise sensitivity, and noise-induced hearing loss.
