Which DNA Pathway Is Right For You?

Not all DNA testing is the same. Some people already have raw data from 23andMe or Ancestry, some need medication genetics, and others want a full interpretation for themselves or their child. This page helps you understand the options so you do not waste money on the wrong test or an incomplete report.

• Understand the differences between DNA services • Avoid overpaying for tests you do not need • Know exactly where to begin

Start With A DNA Intake Call

Every DNA pathway begins with a short intake call to determine the correct testing and report for your needs.

Step 1: New Client DNA Intake Call

Before any testing or reporting, every client begins with a DNA intake call. This ensures we know exactly what you already have, what you actually need, and which genetic interpretation fits your goals.

During this call we will:

Confirm whether you already have raw DNA data such as 23andMe or AncestryDNA
Review your health history, symptoms, and priorities
Determine whether PGX or MindDNA panels are appropriate for you
Decide whether a child requires their own DNA report
Outline which DNA report fits your situation and your timeline

No interpretation is done during this call. It is a planning session that protects your time and budget and keeps your full DNA session focused and accurate.

Step 2: Which Description Sounds Most Like You?

You do not have to decide your DNA pathway on your own. These categories are here to give you a sense of what we are likely to recommend after your intake call.

I am ready for a full DNA interpretation.

You want an expert to cross-reference your genes with your history, symptoms, and patterns and give you clear next steps.
Likely fit: DNA Decoding Report.

I already have raw DNA data and want it explained.

You have 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or a similar file and feel lost trying to interpret it on your own.
Likely fit: DNA Decoding Report using your existing data.

I need to understand my child’s genetics.

Your child has sensitivities, behavior or mood changes, sleep issues, or reactions you want to understand at a deeper level.
Likely fit: Child DNA Decoding Report.

I am concerned about medications or emotional sensitivity.

You want clarity on drug metabolism, anesthesia, mood, attention, or stress response and how your genes may be involved.
Likely fit: PGX and MindDNA add-on panels.

If You Already Have Or Have Never Done DNA Testing

If You Already Have 23andMe Or AncestryDNA

If you already have raw DNA data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or a similar service, you are already one step ahead. During your intake call we will confirm whether your file is compatible and how we can best use it for your report. In many cases, no new consumer test is needed.

If You Have Never Done DNA Testing

If you have never tested, that is completely fine. During your intake call we will recommend a lab that fits your goals and your budget and walk you through how to order it. You do not need to guess ahead of time or pick a test by yourself.

Common Questions

Do I need to choose my report before I book?

No. All DNA work begins with the New Client DNA Intake Call. During that visit we decide together which report or panel is appropriate.

Do I need lab work in order to do a DNA Decoding Session?

No. Labs are helpful when available, but they are not required. We can still do a meaningful interpretation using your DNA data, history, and symptoms.

Does this replace my medical doctor or genetic counselor?

No. This work focuses on functional and educational interpretation. It is designed to help you understand how your genes interact with nutrition, lifestyle, environment, and stress. We encourage you to share relevant findings with your medical team.

Ready To Understand Your Body’s Blueprint?

You do not have to figure this out on your own or guess which test to order. The simplest place to begin is a short DNA Intake Call, where we map out your next steps together.
