Step Three

• Receive your DNA test results

• Receive your Blood Test results
  • Your blood test will give you your results and recommendations to optimize your biomarkers. “Bio-hacker” mode is where we will want to optimize over the next few months
• Reexamine your supplements and diet to ensure you are capturing the recommended changes within both test results
