We typically ship your HFA kit within 1-3 business days of your order. Our lab scans samples during their normal business hours Mon-Fri, 9am - 3pm Central time. Once our lab receives your returned hair sample using the pre-paid envelope, the actual scan takes about 15 minutes. We'll then email your personalized digital report straight to your inbox! (If you opt-in for the complementary 30-day consultation you will receive your booking link when you have returned your kit)

It's designed to be really simple! Your kit comes with easy-to-follow instructions. You'll just need to pluck about 4-5 hair strands with the follicle (root) attached. It's quick and minimally uncomfortable β much like plucking an eyebrow hair. The follicle is the important part for our analysis!

Your personalized report gives you insights into key wellness areas based on epigenetic markers. This includes potential nutritional needs (vitamins, minerals, etc.), immune support indicators, clues about gut balance, and potential influences from your environment (like toxins or EMFs) and lifestyle. We present it all in a clear, digital format designed to be easily understood, not overwhelming. Remember, you can download a sample report to see for yourself!

Think of your report as a personalized guide! It provides valuable information to help you make more informed choices about your diet, your environment, and your lifestyle habits. Itβs fantastic for moving beyond guesswork and understanding potential areas to focus on for your specific well-being. You can also use it as a helpful tool when discussing your wellness goals with a trusted healthcare practitioner.

That's a great question! No, the Epigenetic Hair Follicle Analysis is not a medical test. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition, and it is not an allergy test. It's a wellness tool focused specifically on providing non-diagnostic insights into epigenetic influences reflected in your hair follicles.

Another important distinction- Genetic DNA testing typically looks at your fixed genetic blueprint β the genes you were born with. Our HFA focuses on epigenetics, which is about how your current environment, diet, and lifestyle may be influencing how your genes are expressed right now. It provides a snapshot of potential influences happening more dynamically.
