Epigenetic Hair Analysis

Epi, meaning above genetics, refers to more than genetic testing.  The information gathered from epigenetic testing reflects the genomic makeup (genotype) and environmental factors which determines ones phenotype.  The hair shaft and their bulbs store former metabolic and nutritional data, which reveals sensory bio-information.

What is Epigenetic testing?

What will the hair analysis session consist of?

The session will begin by obtaining four strands of hair collected from the nape of the neck.  The hair most often is collected from the nape of the neck because it is the closest to the cerebellum, which is the information center of the brain. In the event that the patient/client has extremely short hair or baldness, hair can be collected from the eyebrows or beard. Hair analysis is safe for all ages. For children ages 12 and under a collection of hair and saliva are collected.

Within 20-30 minutes after the hair sample is taken, a 36 page detailed report is gathered on the epigenetic makeup of the client/patient.

The cost of the hair analysis and interpretation of results is $285.  This cost includes:

  • Hair strand collection

  • Scan of hair

  • 30+ page report

  • 60–90-minute consultation with clinician

  • Interpretation of results

  • Plan of action

We recommend repeating a hair scan within three months to track progress and reevaluate changes.

The follow up hair analysis and report alone is $95 with the option to add a follow up consult with a clinician for an additional $135.
