The Science

Your genes are not your destiny

Your DNA contains the instructions for building and maintaining your body, but it is epigenetic mechanisms that determine which instructions are followed and which are ignored. Factors like nutrition, stress, toxin exposure, sleep quality, and exercise can chemically modify your DNA and the proteins that package it, turning genes on or off without changing the underlying sequence.
This means that even with genetic predispositions to conditions like cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, or autoimmune disorders, strategic lifestyle and therapeutic interventions can significantly alter your risk by changing how those genes are expressed.
At Allure MD, we use clinical-grade genetic testing to identify your unique vulnerabilities, metabolic bottlenecks, and pathway inefficiencies. We then design personalized protocols that optimize gene expression through targeted nutrition, strategic supplementation, detoxification support, and lifestyle modifications.
This approach is particularly powerful when combined with our peptide therapeutics program. Peptides such as GHK-Cu have demonstrated the ability to reset gene expression patterns toward a healthier state, influencing over 4,000 genes involved in tissue repair and immune function.

Our Approach

From genetic data to actionable health strategy

Comprehensive Genetic Testing

Advanced DNA analysis provides a detailed map of your genetic predispositions, metabolic pathways, and drug response profiles. We use clinical-grade genetic panels that go far beyond consumer ancestry tests, analyzing specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) relevant to your health, disease risk, nutrient metabolism, and medication sensitivity.

  • Clinical-grade SNP analysis across health-relevant genes
  • Disease risk and predisposition profiling
  • Pharmacogenomics for medication optimization
  • Nutrigenomic assessment for personalized nutrition
  • Ancestry-informed health considerations

Methylation & Detoxification Pathways

Methylation is a critical biochemical process affecting DNA repair, neurotransmitter production, hormone metabolism, and detoxification. Variants in genes such as MTHFR, COMT, and CBS can significantly impact how your body processes folate, clears toxins, and produces neurotransmitters. We map these pathways to identify bottlenecks and design targeted supplementation strategies.

  • MTHFR, COMT, CBS, and MAO gene analysis
  • Folate cycle and methylation capacity assessment
  • Phase I and Phase II detoxification pathway mapping
  • Glutathione production and recycling evaluation
  • Neurotransmitter metabolism profiling

Environmental & Toxin Assessment

Environmental exposures profoundly influence gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. Toxins, heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, and mold mycotoxins can alter DNA methylation patterns and trigger inflammatory cascades. We evaluate your environmental burden and develop strategies to reduce exposure and support your body's detoxification capacity.

  • Heavy metal panel (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium)
  • Environmental toxin and pesticide exposure assessment
  • Mold and mycotoxin screening
  • Endocrine disruptor evaluation
  • Home and workplace environmental review

Personalized Optimization Protocols

Your genetic data becomes actionable through personalized protocols designed to optimize gene expression. We create nutrition plans tailored to your genetic nutrient processing, recommend exercise strategies aligned with your genetic fitness profile, and select supplements that address your specific pathway vulnerabilities.

  • Gene-based nutrition and micronutrient plans
  • Targeted supplementation for pathway support
  • Epigenetic lifestyle modifications
  • Exercise recommendations based on genetic profile
  • Longevity and healthy aging strategies
