Genomic Consulting
A layer of your biology may have been shaping your health your entire life. Now, we can bring it into your care.
At Resilient Health, we practice functional and integrative medicine because we believe that precise care starts with understanding as much of your biology as possible. That can now include your genomic findings, considered alongside your labs, history, and everything else that shapes how we care for you.
Standard tests show what’s happening in your body right now. Genomics helps explain why it’s happening in the first place. Together, they can add more clarity and context to what we already know about you.
What your labs show, and what your genomics can add
Clinical genomic testing and standard laboratory testing were each built to answer different questions.
Standard testing measures biomarkers
What’s happening in your body right now
When something is elevated or outside a healthy range, it shows up here
When a treatment is working, these markers reflect it
This kind of information is essential. It remains the foundation of how Resilient Health monitors your health over time.
Genomic testing maps your underlying biology
Your DNA contains small, common variations that may have been shaping how your body functions since before you were born, including:
How you process certain nutrients
How your immune system calibrates its response
How your brain regulates key neurotransmitters
How your cardiovascular system behaves over decades
IntellxxDNA® collects your genomic information through a simple cheek swab. And while the genes you carry don’t change over time, the science around what they mean for your care continues to evolve. As our understanding grows, so does what we can learn from your results.
It’s part of why the same treatment can work differently for two different people, even when their labs look the same.
Your labs show what your body is doing today. Your genomics may help Resilient Health understand more about why. Together, they add up to a fuller understanding of your health than either one alone.
Where IntellxxDNA® fits among genetic testing options
Genomics has grown quickly over the last decade, and with it, a range of testing options that can be hard to tell apart. Each one was built for a different purpose, and each does that job well. Here’s how they compare, and where IntellxxDNA fits in.
Consumer DNA kits
They made genetics accessible to millions of people curious about their ancestry, general traits, or broad wellness trends. For anyone exploring their heritage or general health tendencies, they serve a real purpose.
Whole genome sequencing
This type of testing reads nearly all of a person’s DNA. It is often used when a clinician is investigating rare or inherited conditions, oncology applications, or rare pediatric syndromes.
Pharmacogenomics
This answers a focused question: how might a patient’s genetics affect the way they process or respond to certain medications? It can help inform medication selection and dosing. Many patients have already done this kind of testing, and it remains a useful part of their care.
IntellxxDNA®
IntellxxDNA® looks at common genetic variants that may shape areas such as cognitive health, mood, cardiovascular concerns, hormone regulation, metabolism, and immune function: areas where no single gene is responsible, but many work together with lifestyle and environment over time.
What sets IntellxxDNA® apart is how the findings are evaluated and presented. Each variant is reviewed for clinical relevance and considered alongside related findings, helping Resilient Health understand how they may work together and what they may add to the larger clinical picture.
Organizing genomic information is what makes it usable.
That’s what IntellxxDNA is built for.
Focused
Focuses on clinically relevant variants, so your clinician can concentrate on findings that may matter to your care.
Evidence-based
Every finding is grounded in peer-reviewed published medical research, selected for quality and consistency of the evidence.
Organized
Variants are organized by health area, allowing your clinician to interpret related findings together, not as isolated results.
Clinician-led
Reviewed by your clinician in the context of your history, symptoms, labs, medications, and goals, not in isolation.
Genomic testing fits a wide range of starting points: from complex, unresolved cases to patients who are already doing well
You’ve hit a wall with standard care.
A layer of your biology may still be missing from your clinical picture.
You’re managing something that spans systems.
Fatigue, mood, hormone regulation, and immune function may be more connected than they appear.
It runs in your family.
Look beyond family history to genomic factors that may influence your own health.
You’ve already done consumer testing.
See what clinician-directed genomic testing can add to your care.
You’re already doing well.
Bring more of your biology into care already built around you.
COGNITIVE LONGEVITY · INTELLXXDNA IN ACTION
Four of her five siblings lost significant cognitive function by their late seventies. Marnie’s genomic report helped her clinician see what might be different in her case.
Marnie was 72 when her clinician ordered an IntellxxDNA Cognition and Memory Report. Her family history pointed one direction: cognitive decline.
Her clinician started where most would: APOE4, one of the best-known genetic factors associated with cognitive decline. But her genomics added something that finding alone couldn’t show.
A histamine intolerance variant was affecting her brain. A B12 absorption variant was limiting a nutrient her brain needed. Mitochondrial, methylation, and estrogen pathway variants were interacting underneath it all, present the whole time, just not visible until the IntellxxDNA report showed them.
Her clinician built a protocol around those exact findings. Within six months, her memory scores returned to normal range.
She is now 80. She is cognitively intact. She reads, she travels, she is present in her own life in a way none of her siblings managed to sustain.
She’s the only one of her five siblings who reached this age without losing her memory.
Family history tells us what happened. Genomics may help us understand why, and what to consider before a similar pattern develops.
Not every patient story that emerges from genomic testing is this dramatic. Most of what it surfaces is more subtle: a reason a supplement hasn’t worked the way we expected, a variant that helps explain why sleep or mood has been stubbornly resistant to what usually helps, a small shift that ends up making a real difference. The scale varies. The value is consistent.

Patient details have been changed to protect privacy. Genomic insights should be interpreted within the context of comprehensive clinical evaluation and individualized care. Genomic testing does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe.
What to expect
Resilient Health handles everything clinical. Here’s what the process looks like from your side.
1
A conversation.
Before anything else, we talk. I listen to what you have been experiencing, what you are hoping to understand, and what you want your care to look like going forward. Together, we decide whether genomic testing makes sense for you right now.
2
A simple cheek swab.
If we move forward, the collection is easier than most people expect: a swab done at home or here in the office. No blood draw and no extra appointment.
3
A clinical report review.
When your results are ready, I review them the same way I review any clinical information, in the context of your history, your symptoms, and everything I already know about you. You do not have to interpret this on your own. That is my job.
4
A more informed conversation.
The findings become part of your next clinical conversation, a critical layer of information we bring into the decisions we make together. Your role is exactly what it has always been: keep telling us how you feel and what you are noticing and what matters to you.
Grounded in peer-reviewed research
The genomic findings Resilient Health works with are grounded in published scientific research, not generated by a black box algorithm.
Every variant included in the platform has been individually reviewed against the peer-reviewed research behind it, evaluated for the quality of the science, the reproducibility of the findings, and whether it is genuinely actionable in clinical care.
That standard of curation is what separates IntellxxDNA® from the broader landscape of genomic tools. It has been applied in peer-reviewed clinical research published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience and in a Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease clinical trial led by Dr. Kat Toups alongside Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of The End of Alzheimer’s. In that trial, IntellxxDNA® genomic testing helped identify contributing factors to cognitive decline as part of a broader precision-medicine approach that produced meaningful improvements in patient outcomes.

Precision care starts with understanding more of your biology.
I built this into my practice because I believe every patient deserves care that is built around their specific biology, not around what works for most people. That conversation starts whenever you are ready.
