Genetic Testing

Personalizing Care Through Your DNA

At Camarillo Functional Health, we use genetic testing and analysis to take Functional Medicine and Functional Neurology to the next level. Your DNA provides a blueprint for how your body processes nutrients, manages inflammation, produces neurotransmitters, detoxifies, and responds to stress. By understanding your unique genetic profile, we can design a treatment plan that is more precise, targeted, and effective.

Our Approach to Genetic Testing

Unlike direct-to-consumer DNA reports, our genetic analysis is integrated into your full clinical picture. We combine your results with functional lab testing, health history, and immunology to identify both predispositions and active imbalances.

We often focus on:

  • Methylation pathways (MTHFR, MTRR, COMT, etc.) that affect detoxification, neurotransmitters, and mental health

  • Oxidative stress and glutathione production genes that influence inflammation and resilience

  • Neurotransmitter balance (dopamine, serotonin, GABA) that impacts mood, focus, and sleep

  • Immune and inflammatory pathways (NF-?B, cytokine balance, histamine processing) that drive autoimmunity and chronic illness

  • Mitochondrial function and energy production genes related to fatigue and brain fog

Conditions Supported by Genetic Insight

  • Autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto’s, MS, psoriasis, lupus)

  • Mood disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD)

  • Cognitive decline and neurodegenerative conditions (Parkinson’s, dementia)

  • Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and pain syndromes

  • Detoxification challenges and chemical sensitivity

  • Gut dysfunction and food sensitivities

  • POTS, dysautonomia, and mast cell activation

Why Genetic Testing Matters

Every patient is unique — what works for one person may not work for another. Genetics helps us:

  • Identify why certain treatments may or may not work for you

  • Reduce trial-and-error with supplements and medications

  • Understand your risk factors and how to offset them with lifestyle, nutrition, and targeted therapies

  • Create a plan that is truly personalized to your biology

Advanced Integration

We don’t view genes in isolation. Our analysis connects your genetics to functional medicine labs, neurology findings, and immunology insights, creating a complete picture of your health and the most effective path forward.
