HOW TO USE YOUR DIRTYDNA RESULTS
Learn about yourself.
No more guessing about your health. We are scientifically past that—it’s archaic. We have the technology to know what it is our bodies are lacking and how to offset those imbalances (through diet and exercise) so that we can achieve optimal health. Optimal health means we are showing up for ourselves, having more energy for our friends, killing it in our careers, and just feeling good.
Share it with your doctor.
Share the report with your doctor, homeopath, nutritionist, herbalist–whoever is helping you become a healthier you. If they are guiding you, coaching you, or helping you be your best self in the healthy realm of things—they need to see this to understand you and your biological presets.
Get your diet right.
As we mentioned before, today’s technology allows us to KNOW (not guess) what our bodies need—and we automatically generate a meal plan to help you get the nutrients that are right for your body type. Yes, old school Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda are amazing, but this goes much deeper. Get it right + get it delivered.
Get your detox on.
Get the gunk out. The toxins in your body have been identified—time to flush them out with our: Dirty Colon Cleanse, Dirty Mind Cleanse (for anxiety + depression), Dirty Energy Cleanse (for fatigue), + Dirty Skin Cleanse (for acne).
Get your workouts bumping.
Did we mention the bonus portion? You get a detailed report on which workouts are right for your body type… because not all types of exercise are right for all people. This will tell you which workouts will help you achieve optimal health right now and as you age.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How frequently do I take the test?
Just once! Your DNA never changes, so you will only need to take this test one time. Studies that report mindfulness practices like meditation alter your DNA are referring to your DNA expressions which can be switched ‘on’ or ‘off’ for optimal health + vitality—but it will not alter what you are essentially made of.
How accurate are the results?
The results of your report are highly accurate. Our partner laboratories are accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), accredited in accordance with the U.S Health and Human Services’ Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), thereby assuring you of high-quality results. This allows DIRTYDNA to exercise full control over the research, testing, pricing and security.
Is my personal information safe?
We do not sell your data. We encrypt data at rest and in motion. Access to your personal information is controlled by role-based access controls that were built around the HIPAA “Minimum Necessary” rule. That is, when using or sharing data with authorized personnel, we only transmit what is required for the recipient rather than giving them access to all of the data. In addition to encryption and access controls, we log all access “who did what” and keep these logs at an MSSP (Managed Security Services Provider) for real-time analysis to protect your personal information.
What happens to my sample?
After the genetic testing is complete, your saliva sample is destroyed after sixty (60) days by incineration in a secure manner to protect your privacy. Any of your DNA that we have extracted from your saliva that has not been used for testing is stored in our DNA Lockbox™. We keep your DNA extract for the retention time required by federal and state regulations and in accordance with our DIRTYDNA’s standard operating procedures.
Will my health insurance be affected?
To protect individuals who undergo genetic testing from discrimination by insurance companies and employers, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) was established in 2008. The act applies to health insurance, but does not apply to life, disability, or long-term care insurance. Although this act protects most individuals, those who work for small companies as well as military personnel may not be protected. Please visit www.genome.gov/10002328 for more information.
Do I need to notify anyone?
You don’t need to notify anyone at all! Your genetic report is your own personal information. You are not required by law to notify or share this information with anyone. You may find it beneficial to share this information with your doctor or with other family members, but this decision is completely up to you.
Can I use data from my 23andMe test?
Absolutely! If you have already completed a 23andMe genetic test, you don’t need to order a kit. You can securely connect your existing data to generate the diet and fitness reports provided in the standard DIRTYDNA test.
