Metabolomics is the comprehensive study of metabolites—small molecules that are the byproducts of biochemical processes in the body. These metabolites provide real-time insights into an individual's metabolic health, offering a dynamic snapshot of how the body is functioning at a cellular level. Unlike genetic testing, which reveals predispositions based on DNA, metabolomics assesses how genes, environment, diet, and lifestyle interact to influence overall health.
By analyzing metabolites found in blood, urine, or other biofluids, metabolomics can identify imbalances in metabolic pathways, detect nutrient deficiencies, assess gut microbiome activity, and uncover markers related to inflammation, and mitochondrial function. This data allows healthcare providers to develop targeted interventions, optimizing diet, supplementation, and lifestyle choices to improve health outcomes. Metabolomics is an essential tool for precision medicine, offering a highly individualized approach to disease prevention, performance enhancement, and longevity.
In addition to genetic sequencing, we provide metabolomics testing of urine and blood plasma metabolites—including organic acids, amino acids, and other key compounds—to reveal your unique metabolic signature. By analyzing these metabolites, we are able to obtain a comprehensive view of your metabolic pathways, assisting in identifying biochemical imbalances and guiding personalized therapeutic interventions.
