Common Queries
Clarity on our protocols, privacy, and partnership model.
The Methodology
How does this differ from other genetic testing companies? +
Most companies gatekeep your raw data and only provide you results specific to one outcome or genetic disposition. We provide you with the raw data file and a full analysis of your genes and how they relate to your health and performance.
Can I upload my existing raw data? +
Typically, no. Most consumer files lack the depth of coverage required for our clinical analysis. However, if you have Whole Genome or Whole Exome sequencing data from a clinical lab, our genomicists can review it for compatibility.
What specifically are you testing for? +
We analyze thousands of markers across key performance domains: Cognitive Drive (Dopamine/Serotonin pathways), Metabolic Efficiency (Carb/Fat utilization), Hormonal Health (Androgen receptors), and Toxic Burden (Liver/Gut phase 1 & 2 detox). We don't just list genes; we map their interactions.
Data & Privacy
Is my genetic data safe? +
Security is our absolute priority. We utilize de-identified sample processing and HIPAA-compliant servers. Unlike many commercial companies, we are not a data mining company. We do not sell, lease, or share your genomic data with pharmaceutical companies or insurers. You own your code.
What happens to my sample after sequencing? +
Once sequencing is verified complete, physical samples are destroyed in accordance with CLIA laboratory standards. Your digital data remains encrypted in your private portal.
Membership & Logistics
Is this covered by insurance? +
The Genetics Company provides an elective, high-performance optimization service, which is generally not covered by standard health insurance.
What is the turnaround time? +
From the moment your saliva kit reaches our lab, sequencing and bioinformatics processing typically takes 3-4 weeks. Your lead practitioner will then prepare your protocol for your initial deep-dive session.
Do I need a doctor's referral? +
No. Our network includes practitioners who authorize the clinical sequencing as part of your onboarding, simplifying the process for you.
