Genetics of Sleep and Stress

All of us experience stress at some point in our lives. Some of us, however, are more easily stressed out than others. Your genetics, upbringing and experiences all impact how you as an individual handle stress.

Genomed uncovers your genetic predisposition towards coping with stress, while helping you to learn how well you can process information and perform tasks while in stressful situations. It also enables you to establish your optimal productivity times, find out if you’re predisposed to a better quality of sleep, and if the stimulant effect of caffeine disrupts your precious sleeping hours. Using this information, we can help you develop a personalised stress management plan to alleviate stress in your daily life, and learn to manage your sleep for improved mental and physical well-being.

 
What are the benefits of Sleep and Stress genetic testing?

Genetic testing produces information that may help you or your healthcare provider:

– identify your stress and sleep profile

– identify insights into your stress and sleep response

– look at a deeper insight into your food sensitivities, including lifestyle factors that will help you achieve your physical goals.

– Discover if you’re a worrier or a warrior, a night owl or early bird – as well as a host of other insights into your stress and sleep response, all from the comfort of your own home.

– Discover how your genes influence your stress levels and sleep response, and formulate personalised sleep strategies and coping mechanisms for the next time the going gets tough.

– make informed lifestyles choices and decisions

 
What are the genes tested?

Our Genomed Sleep and Stress genetics tests look at your Sleep Apnoea risk, Sleep Depth, Sleep Duration, Sleep Movement, Sleep Quality, Sleep Time (Chronotype), Stress Tolerance and Stress-Induced Obesity

 
What can genetic testing tell me?

A POSITIVE TEST RESULT CAN:

– Pinpoint your risk of developing diseases, enabling you to make informed medical decisions to reduce risk by creating a management plan.

– Provide an explanation for your personal or family history of diseases.

– Identify other at-risk relatives for whom genetic testing is recommended

A NEGATIVE TEST RESULT:

– Means that you do not have an alteration in the genes tested

– Your overall risk depends on your medical history, family history, and environment

AN UNCERTAIN VARIANT TEST RESULT:

– Means that an alteration was identifed, but it is not currently known if that alteration increases risk

– Should not be used to guide your medical care

– Always let your healthcare provider know if there are any updates regarding your family medical history.

Genomed will update your healthcare provider if new information becomes available

Take Proactive Care For Your Health

 
Some conditions can be genetic

Most disease cases are caused by a combination of environmental conditions like pollution, and lifestyle choices like an unhealthy diet, being overweight, smoking and drinking. However, some are due to genetics.

 
Inherited conditions can be successfully managed.

Early detection can help you and your healthcare provider create a personalised plan with lifestyle recommendations to limit any potentially serious negative health impacts. They may recommend regular exercise routine or a diet that’s low in saturated and trans fats, salt, and added sugars.

 
This information can help your family, too.

As hereditary health disorders run in families, your results can help your loved ones understand their health risk and take proactive care of their own health. Your healthcare provider may also identify family members who can be tested and begin start of treatment, if needed.

 
Take action based on your results.

With Genomed, you can make health decisions based on your results. Our medical-grade tests are the same tests used by doctors and genetic counselors. Based on your results, you can work with your healthcare provider to consider:

– increased or earlier screenings

– lifestyle modifications

– early intervention to prevent the onset of disease
