Flagship · Genetic Testing
The Blueprint Method™.
It starts with a painless 30-minute buccal swab at our office. From 32 up to 500+ gene variants mapped depending on your tier. A 60-minute review with Mindy Hickey, APN, where we walk through every relevant marker, teach the why behind it, and hand you a written protocol built for body, mind, and the way you actually live.
Generic vs personalized
The same advice, tuned to you.
Toggle between the standard health-blog answer and what your protocol actually says when we have your variants in front of us.
Coffee
Standard advice
Cut back to one cup. Drink it before noon.
Leafy greens
Standard advice
Eat 5 servings of vegetables every day. Spinach is great for iron.
Intermittent fasting
Standard advice
16:8 has good evidence for metabolic health. Try skipping breakfast.
How it works
From purchase to practice.
Five steps. The results timeline is weeks, not days.
Step 01 · Day 1
Start the journey.
Book a free 30-minute consultation, or purchase your Blueprint tier directly online. Either path lands you in the same place.
Step 02 · Day 1
Book your swab.
When you purchase your Blueprint tier, you book your 30-minute buccal swab at our office at the same time. One step, both done.
Step 03 · Weeks 1 to 6
We process your sample.
Genetic results take about 4 to 6 weeks. Any bloodwork is ordered through Labcorp and a copy is sent so you can bring it to your review.
Step 04 · Week 6 or 7
60-min APN review.
Once results are back, we schedule your 60-minute review with Mindy Hickey, APN, to cover your genetics, labs, and protocol.
Step 05 · Months 1 to 6 from review
Apply with coaching.
Your 30-minute coaching sessions begin and run across the following 6 months. Two with Essential, four with Expanded, five with Ultimate.
The service, in detail
More than a report. A roadmap you can run.
Most genetic tests hand you a PDF and call it done. The Blueprint Method is what happens after that PDF: a practitioner who reads it with you, a written protocol you can run from, and the coaching to keep it on the rails.
32 to 500+ variants. One 60-minute review. Coaching to match.
Flagship serviceThe Blueprint Method™What makes it different

We start where you are: symptoms, history, what you've already tried, what you actually want from this.
10 to 35 min
The findings.
Every relevant marker, walked through in plain language with the genetics page open in front of us.
35 to 50 min
The protocol.
Supplement timing, food shifts, and lab work for the next 90 days. Designed on the spot, with you.
50 to 60 min
Q&A and next steps.

What we test
A look at the markers we map.
Knowing which variants you carry tells us which supplements to add, which to skip, and how to configure your plan. Here's a sample of what we look at.
MTHFR
MethylationFolate processing. Sets your need for active B-vitamins and influences homocysteine.
COMT
MethylationBreaks down dopamine and estrogen. Tunes stress tolerance, focus, and PMS patterns.
MTRR
MethylationRecycles B12 to keep methylation moving. Often paired with MTHFR variants.
CBS
MethylationSulfur metabolism. Affects detox capacity and homocysteine clearance.
CYP1A1
DetoxPhase-1 detox of estrogens and environmental toxins.
EPHX1
DetoxClears reactive metabolites. A bellwether for environmental load tolerance.
SOD2
DetoxMitochondrial antioxidant defense. Affects oxidative stress at the cell level.
APOE
CardioCholesterol transport. Most-studied marker for cognitive and cardiac risk patterns.
NOS3
CardioNitric oxide production. Drives blood pressure regulation and vascular tone.
FTO
MetabolismAppetite regulation and weight set point. Influences satiety and snacking patterns.
PPARG
MetabolismFat storage and insulin sensitivity. Shapes how your body responds to dietary fats.
MC4R
MetabolismHunger signaling and energy expenditure. A key lever in weight-loss responsiveness.
VDR
NutrientsVitamin D receptor sensitivity. Affects bone, immune, and mood downstream effects.
GC
NutrientsVitamin D binding protein. Influences how much circulating D actually reaches tissue.
FUT2
NutrientsB12 absorption and gut microbiome. Why some people don't respond to standard B12.
BCMO1
NutrientsBeta-carotene to vitamin A conversion. A hidden cause of "I eat carrots but…"
TMPRSS6
NutrientsIron absorption regulation. Affects ferritin levels and supplementation response.
BDNF
MoodBrain-derived growth factor. Sets neuroplasticity and stress resilience baseline.
MAOA
MoodSerotonin and dopamine breakdown. A core driver of mood-regulation patterns.
DAO
MoodHistamine clearance. The reason aged cheeses or wine flare some people and not others.
Plus more across hormone pathways, athletic performance, sleep, and immune resilience. Your tier determines how deep we go: 32 gene variants in Essential, 152 in Expanded, and 500+ with Ultimate (IntellxxDNA). We walk through every relevant variant in your 60-minute review.
