3X4 Genetics

When you understand how you work, you can make yourself work better.

3X4 Genetics is a preventative screening tool used to examine your predispositions to future health complications. This test allows you to determine how to nurture your genetic makeup to live a longer, healthier, fitter life.

The 3X4 Test is a genetic lifestyle test that uncovers valuable information about your unique genetic makeup, particularly regarding nutrition, cardiovascular, activity, and lifestyle factors. It analyses specific genes that infuence how your body handles and utilises nutrients, and explains what your genes say about you.

Your genes do not work in isolation – they work with each other and the body’s environment. What we eat, how we move, our stress levels, and our emotional state affect how our genes behave.

By gaining insight into your genetic variations and potential predispositions such as gluten intolerance, Crohn’s disease, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease, the 3X4 genetic lifestyle test offers personalised recommendations to help you make the best choices for your nutrition and lifestyle. These recommendations empower you to make informed decisions about your diet, supplements, and exercise routine, all tailored to align with your individual genetic profile.

Understanding your genes can guide you to make healthier choices that help you to live healthier, happier, longer, and better.

It is not about patching symptoms; it is about understanding the root cause.

The test can be used by anyone; there are no limitations!

There is no age limit as your genes do not change, only your environment does. It could be used by someone interested in doing a deeper dive into their genetics, or by someone who would like to identify their predispositions to chronic conditions.

The results provide a personalised plan that gives you insights that help you understand your health better, with clear and actionable recommendations on your diet, lifestyle, and supplements.

Weight balance

Achieving weight balance starts with your genetic code.

Fitness and tissue health

Exercise more efficiently and reduce your potential for injury with personalised performance insights from your genetic blueprint.

Hormone health

Pinpoint the processes of how your body manufactures and breaks down hormones to better understand possible hormonal imbalances.

Brain health

Confidently navigate mental health with a deeper understanding of the unique way your brain functions.

Heart health

Identify any potential contributors to impaired cardiovascular function through reliable genetic insights.

Blood sugar regulation

Understand how your body regulates glucose and insulin based on your genetic results.

Having trouble balancing your weight?

Manage weight concerns with information about your appetite, metabolism, how your body uses energy, and your predispositions to weight-related issues.

Many people do not realise that genes play a crucial role in appetite, energy utilisation, hormone balance, exercise response, insulin and glucose levels, and pro-inflammatory fat.

The 3X4 Test examines 157 genes impacting your health and weight goals. Gain insight and guidance for a healthier weight and life, with a single test. Our genomic technology analyses your DNA, providing insight into the link between weight balance and your unique genetics.

Variations in your genes determine your appetite and satiety level, which may consequently affect your eating patterns (snacking, binge eating, servings, frequency of meals, etc.). Get insights into a DNA diet.

The rate at which we use calories for energy is largely determined by our genes, our activity, and what and how much we eat, resulting in significant individual differences between how we burn energy.

Discover if you have a genetically 'fast' or 'slow' metabolism.

An individual’s ability to mobilise stored body fat and burn it for exercise fuel is partly predisposed by certain genes. It is useful to understand the extent to which exercise may help weight loss and how to balance these factors out.

Gain insight into how your glucose and insulin metabolism influence weight balance.

The way insulin and glucose do this is determined by certain genes and by other factors such as our weight, diet, and lifestyle choices.

Uncover a better understanding of potential hormone imbalances and what the best way to address them is.

Fat cells may cause inflammation which disrupts the body’s ability to lose weight.

Discover if you have a genetic tendency to retain more fat stores due to inflammation.

The 3X4 Test is not meant as a diagnostic tool, but is instead used as a preventative and screening tool to detect the root causes for the development of chronic conditions, and can be used to implement more targeted treatment.

Rather than fixing existing symptoms, diseases could be prevented, delayed, or reversed with a good understanding of what is happening at a deeper cellular level.

Your genes are like puzzle pieces. You need to see how the pieces fit together to get whole picture.

About the test

Genetics make up the baseline ‘code’ by which your body functions. Your genetic makeup influences the impact every single choice you make throughout your life. 3X4 tests over 157 genes that can affect your metabolism, inflammation, detoxication, fitness, weight, hormones, cognition, and response to your diet and supplements. By understanding how your unique genetics impact these key processes, you can make more intelligent, personalised, health decisions. There may even be insights you never imagined (like whether that second cup of coffee is a clever idea).

Our genetic lifestyle test is designed to provide clear insights and recommendations about areas of that are most important to you.

Nutrient needs
What are your body’s unique needs, and how do you respond to certain foods? How well do you tolerate fat and carbs? How much vitamin D do you need? Do you require extra antioxidants and omega-3 fats compared to others? Should you limit gluten, salt, or caffeine?
Fitness strengths
What type of exercise will your body respond to best? How can you train smarter in alignment with your genes for better performance, faster recovery, and fewer injuries?
Proactive prevention
Is your body more prone to high blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol? How can you support your cardiovascular and immune system for more resilience as you age? 3X4 also looks at processes like inflammation, detoxication, methylation, and more.
Ideal weight
Why does your body resist weight loss, and how can you manage your weight in a healthy way?
Stress strategies
How does your life stress affect your brain health, hormones, sleep quality, and overall wellness? More importantly, what can you do about it?

Rooted in science

Our tests are based on 20+ years of scientific research and clinical practice. Yael Joffe (PhD), who leads the science team at 3X4, is acknowledged globally as an expert in the field of nutrigenomics. The Scientific Advisory Board of top physicians, scientists, and experts in functional medicine is integrally involved in the advancement of the scientific thinking.

Practitioner-guided

Genetics is complex. You should not be left alone to understand your genes. Our highly-trained practitioner partners will work with you to translate your results and analyse how your genes work together to impact your overall health.

Actionable insights in order of importance

The 3X4 Blueprint Report uses info graphics, explanations, and actionable recommendations that are prioritised into the top three suggestions for nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes for each of your most genetically impactful pathways (hence the name 3X4). This makes it easier to know where to start, and how to prioritise meaningful lifestyle changes.

Every gene has been selected based on scientific validity and actionability. The genes in the 3X4 Test were selected from peer-reviewed scientific publications. To ascertain scientific validity, we ensure adequate research to understand what the gene does, and how the version of the gene you possess affects your body. Every gene in your report has been handpicked because there is a documented action that your healthcare practitioner can recommend to reduce your risk and improve your health.

After sending in your genetic sample, results take 3-4 weeks to process. Your practitioner will contact you when your 3X4 report is available.
