Description

Lifestyle & Preventive Genomics at iLab Medical integrates genetic analysis with selected biochemical markers to provide individualized insights into metabolism, nutrition, physical performance, recovery capacity, and sleep regulation.

This service is designed to support preventive medicine, optimize long-term health outcomes, and enable evidence-based lifestyle modification strategies tailored to each individual’s biological profile.

The test is intended for preventive health clinics, executive health programs, sports medicine providers, and laboratories that want to offer personalized health optimization based on genetics and selected biochemical markers.

Unlike disease-focused genetic testing, preventive genomics identifies functional genetic variations that influence physiological responses, nutrient metabolism, inflammatory pathways, detoxification mechanisms, and circadian biology.

FOR LABORATORIES

Nutrigenomics, metabolic efficiency, exercise response and recovery, sleep and circadian regulation, combined genetic and biochemical health optimization.

Benefits

Delivers personalized insights into nutrition and metabolism
Supports weight management and cardiometabolic prevention
Optimizes exercise response, recovery, and performance planning
Provides insights into sleep and circadian regulation
Integrates genetic and biochemical data for tailored guidance
Enables proactive, data-driven long-term health strategies

Process

Sample collection is performed using peripheral blood or buccal swab depending on the selected test configuration. For combined genetic and biochemical profiling, additional serum or plasma collection may be required depending on the selected markers.

Following collection, specimens are processed for DNA analysis and, where applicable, biochemical marker assessment. Results are compiled into an individualized report that supports preventive health optimization and evidence-based lifestyle planning.

FOR LABORATORIES

Specimen Requirements

Preferred Specimen

  • 2-4 mL peripheral blood collected in EDTA tube

Alternative Specimen

  • Buccal swab for genetic-only testing
  • For combined genetic and biochemical profiling, serum or plasma collection may be required depending on selected markers

Target Population

  • Individuals seeking preventive health optimization
  • Athletes and physically active individuals
  • Patients with metabolic syndrome risk factors
  • Individuals with sleep disturbances or chronic fatigue
  • Corporate wellness programs
  • Executive health assessments

Clinical Considerations

  • This test does not diagnose disease
  • Results should be interpreted within the context of medical history and lifestyle factors
  • Genetic predisposition reflects risk modulation, not deterministic outcomes
  • Lifestyle modification remains the primary determinant of long-term health outcomes

Clinical Value

  • Precision prevention
  • Data-driven lifestyle counseling
  • Long-term health risk reduction
  • Personalized health strategy development

How it works

After sample collection, DNA is extracted and analyzed using targeted genotyping covering approximately 750,000 SNPs and selected functional variants. Where applicable, selected biochemical markers are analyzed in parallel to complement the genetic profile.

Genetic findings are integrated with relevant clinical and lifestyle data and interpreted using peer-reviewed literature and validated gene-phenotype associations. Variants are evaluated for functional impact rather than disease causation, supporting practical and individualized lifestyle recommendations.

The final report provides personalized insights across nutrition, metabolism, physical performance, recovery, and sleep regulation, supporting preventive and evidence-based health optimization.
