Genetic Testing
at Evoke 5
Every body is completely unique. At Evoke 5 Medical Center, we offer genetic testing
options that provide in-depth, personalized insights on your specific body function,
fitness performance and dietary requirements, helping you understand your risks and
find the most effective path to achieve your health goals.
Understanding Your Unique Body
Based on your distinctive genetic make-up, you have different health risks than your neighbor, friend or even close family
member! Similarly, a diet or exercise plan that works for your best friend may have the opposite result for you. So, when
investigating a health condition or developing a treatment plan to optimize health, it’s important to understand how your
unique body operates. Genetic testing allows you to do just that.

Types of Genetic Treatment
There are many different types of genetic testing. At Evoke 5, we utilize a series of genetic testing to look at metabolism,
optimal exercise and optimal dietary needs:
- The metabolic test looks at 80 genes associated with methylation, detoxification, oxidative stress, neurotransmitters,
brain health, vitamins and more. This test gives us vital information on how your body processes certain
vitamins/minerals and detoxifies.
- The food test looks at how you process certain foods, your eating behaviors, vitamin deficiencies, food sensitivities and
risks based on your unique genes. From weight loss to digestive issues, many genes influence how we respond to different
foods and diet approaches.
- The fitness test looks at body strength potential, VO2 max, cardiovascular health and weight loss strategies.
Samples for all three tests are collected using a simple and non-invasive cheek swab, which can be done in-office or at
home. Test results are usually returned in five to six weeks.
We do not bill insurance for genetic testing, and the tests are paid for at the time of service. Please contact us office to
receive an exact quote or to schedule an appointment.
Your Genes Hold the Key to Optimal Health
After we receive your genetic testing results, our functional medicine doctor will review them carefully, then discuss the
results with you. Based on your results, we will then provide personalized recommendations designed to help offset or
support your unique genetic tendencies.
While the recommendations don’t specifically diagnose or treat disease, the custom diet, vitamin supplementation and
lifestyle recommendations are intended to help you improve your overall health, and many patients see significant
improvements in certain conditions.
