Comprehensive Genetic Testing (3X4 Blueprint)

A comprehensive genetic profiling test using the 3X4 Genetics Blueprint, examining 134+ genes via a simple cheek swab. The test generates 36 key genetic insights across metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, fitness response, weight management, hormones, cognition, and how your body responds to specific diets and supplements. Results return in three to four weeks with a practitioner debrief to translate genetic findings into personalised nutrition, exercise, and supplement recommendations.

The 3X4 Genetics Blueprint at Super Young is a comprehensive genetic profiling test that analyses over 134 genes to reveal how your unique genetic makeup influences your health, performance, and ageing. Unlike ancestry-focused tests (23andMe, AncestryDNA), 3X4 is a clinically oriented tool designed to inform actionable health decisions. The test is non-invasive — a simple cheek swab (buccal sample) collected at the clinic in under a minute. The sample is sent to 3X4's laboratory, with results returning in three to four weeks. The report covers eight key areas: 1. **Metabolism**: How efficiently you process carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Variants in genes like FTO and MC4R influence metabolic rate and appetite regulation. 2. **Inflammation**: Your genetic predisposition to inflammatory responses. Variants in IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP genes affect baseline inflammation levels. 3. **Detoxification**: How well your Phase I and Phase II liver detox pathways function. Variants in CYP and GST gene families influence how you process toxins, medications, and environmental chemicals. 4. **Fitness**: Your genetic response to different types of exercise — endurance vs power, recovery speed, injury predisposition. ACTN3, ACE, and COL gene variants are key. 5. **Weight management**: Genetic factors in fat storage, satiety signalling, and response to different macronutrient ratios. 6. **Hormones**: Genetic influences on oestrogen metabolism, cortisol response, thyroid function, and vitamin D receptor efficiency. 7. **Cognition**: Variants affecting neurotransmitter metabolism (COMT, MAO), BDNF production, and cognitive resilience. 8. **Diet and supplement response**: How your genetics influence the absorption and utilisation of specific nutrients — including whether you're a poor methylator (MTHFR variants), how you metabolise caffeine (CYP1A2), and your omega-3 conversion efficiency. The 36 key insights are distilled into practical recommendations. A practitioner at Super Young debriefs you on the results, translating genetic findings into personalised guidance on diet composition, exercise type and intensity, supplementation priorities, and lifestyle modifications. Genetic results don't change — this is a one-time test. However, the clinical recommendations evolve as new research emerges, and the insights become more powerful when combined with blood work and biological age testing to create a fully integrated health picture.
