7 DNA Apps to Help You Better Optimize Your Health

Around 30 million people around the world have used DNA tests. And while learning about your heritage may have sparked a boom within this industry, there’s rarely a need to purchase a second test. As such, the focus of DNA sequencing has moved away from ancestors towards health.

Every single person is unique, meaning that one diet, exercise regime, sleep pattern, or supplement will never work the same way for one person as it did for another. By understanding your DNA, you can discover the health trends that will work best for you.

That’s where DNA apps and genetics-based health come into play!

Sequencing offers over 100 apps, covering categories such as health, fitness, lifestyle, nutrition, and more. But which apps should you choose? Keep reading as we explore 7 DNA apps to help you better optimize your health!

1. Genetic Detoxification Test

Your body is constantly going through a process known as detoxification. This is the removal of toxic substances or pollutants through naturally occurring enzymes, many of which are produced by the liver. These pollutants can be everywhere and anywhere, such as in:

• The air you breathe
• The food you eat
• In your drinking water
• The beauty products you use

DNA apps, such as the Genetic Detoxification Test, can use your DNA sequencing to determine your body’s natural detoxification abilities. You can learn which toxins will prove difficult for your body to cope with, and ways you can improve your natural detoxification.

This app determines your response to many toxins, including:

• Carcinogens
• Arsenic
• Mercury
• Lead
• Pesticides
• And many more!

Understanding your body’s reaction to these toxins is essential for healthy living.

2. Inflammation DNA Wellness Report

Inflammation is your body’s natural response to outside invaders, such as viruses and bacteria. But inflammation can become problematic when your body defends against non-harmful bacteria or your body’s own cells.

Inflammation can occur in the following areas:

• Bones
• Brain and nervous system
• Respiratory system
• Mouth
• Skin
• Gut

Inflammation is associated with several mental health issues, including anxiety and depression. Not to mention many physical health conditions, such as autoimmune diseases.

Genetics-based health reports can provide a solution for healthy living. DNA apps, such as the Inflammation DNA Wellness Report, use your genetic sequencing to provide personalized solutions for reducing different types of inflammation.

The Inflammation DNA Wellness Report provides a risk assessment for inflammation types and their associated conditions. For example, asthma, arthritis, Celiac disease, and depression.

3. Wellness and Longevity

DNA apps can improve your longevity by providing personalized guidance for optimizing your health. This app uses the results of your DNA tests to predict, prevent, and prevail!

First, the app uses your DNA sequencing to predict your genetic risk for a variety of preventable diseases. This includes certain cancers, heart disease, blood clot disorders, and dangerous medication reactions.

Secondly, the app guides how you can make lifestyle changes to help prevent these illnesses. You’ll receive personalized reports and solutions for protecting your health.

The Wellness and Longevity app can provide reports on:

• Hair loss and balding
• Athletic performance
• Melanoma
• Arthritis
• Heart attacks
• Medication assessments

The test will also determine if you possess any genes associated with preventable sudden death, such as heart arrhythmia.

4. Immune Systems and Infectious Diseases

Although the functionality of your immune system can be influenced by your environment, there is also a major genetic component to its ability to fight off diseases, viruses, and bacteria. DNA apps can provide personalized reports of your immune system’s strengths and weaknesses.

This Immune Systems and Infectious Diseases report analyzes any of your DNA tests to provide genetics-based health advice. You’ll receive information on your blood types, such as ABO, Rhesus, secretor status, and Duffy.

You will also discover your genetic susceptibility or resistance to a wide range of viruses and diseases, including:

• HIV
• Coronavirus
• Malaria
• Norovirus

By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your immune system, you can take action to improve those areas. Where improvement isn’t possible, you’ll know to take preventative measures to avoid specific infections.

5. Genetic Counseling

One of the major drawbacks of receiving reports from DNA apps is that you may not always understand what the information is telling you. DNA-based health advice can be complex and often involve unrecognizable medical terms.

The Genetic Counseling app solves this problem by providing 60 days of online conversation with a genetic counselor. You’ll receive help understanding health risks, medication reactions, and can get your questions answered within 48 hours.

You can communicate with your genetic counselor via a computer, tablet, or smartphone, at a time that best suits you. You can also discuss additional DNA testing options and can upload new reports via the app to receive up-to-date information and guidance.

The app uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure that the counselor is providing accurate information and to aid them in effectively answering your questions.

6. Sleep DNA Wellness Report

It’s impossible to optimize your health without improving your sleep. Most of us sleep between 6-9 hours every single night, so if you’re not sleeping properly, it can cause major side effects. Some of the reasons why sleep is so important to your health include:

• Healthy metabolism
• Improves concentration and productivity
• Maximize athletic performance
• Reduces risk of heart disease and stroke
• Reduces depression risk
• Improves immune functionality
• Decreases inflammation
• Poor sleep impacts emotions
• Poor sleep impacts your ability to socialize

The Sleep DNA Wellness Report provides insights into your genetic risk for sleep-related conditions, and personalized recommendations to improve your sleep. This can include optimal sleep duration, sleep quality, and the likelihood of developing insomnia, narcolepsy, and obstructive sleep apnea.

7. Enhanced Longevity

The goal of healthy living is often to enhance longevity. Your genetics play a major role in determining your lifespan but through making the right lifestyle choices, you can potentially increase your life expectancy.

The Enhanced Longevity app provides a report that is divided up into 5 main sections:

• DNA repair
• Cell growth
• Cardiovascular health
• Inflammation
• Oxidative stress

For each of these sections, you’ll receive your unique genetic results and recommendations for improving your health in these areas. These recommendations will be ranked based on how influential they are to your overall longevity.
