Detox Pathway Report
What is the Detox Pathway Report?
Your Detox Pathway Report shows how your genes may influence your body’s ability to neutralize and eliminate toxins. Detoxification is essential for managing everyday exposures from food, environment, and metabolism.
This report connects your DNA with the genes involved in detox pathways, giving you insights into how efficiently your body may process and clear toxins — and how you might best support those processes.
How It Works
- DNA-based insights: We analyze variants in genes linked to detoxification, such as those encoding glutathione enzymes, cytochrome P450s, and other key detox players.
- Pathway visualization: Your results are mapped to the detox cycle, showing where potential bottlenecks or strengths may occur.
- Personalized recommendations: Based on your results, you’ll receive diet, supplement, and lifestyle suggestions to help support your body’s natural detoxification.
- Lab guidance: The report also lists lab markers you can test with your healthcare provider to confirm detox function, such as liver enzymes or glutathione levels.
Key Sections of the Report
- Results Overview – A snapshot of your detoxification capacity based on your genes.
- Gene & SNP Breakdown – Each relevant detox gene is explained in plain language, with your genotype, its possible effects, and links to health outcomes.
- Recommendations – Personalized diet and lifestyle suggestions that can help support healthy detox.
- Lab Markers to Check – Suggested blood or urine markers to evaluate detox function in practice.
Common Questions
❓ What does detoxification mean?
It’s how your body processes and eliminates toxins — from pollutants and chemicals to by-products of normal metabolism.
❓ Which genes are included?
The report covers genes involved in Phase I (breaking down toxins), Phase II (conjugating toxins for removal), and antioxidant defense systems (like glutathione pathways).
❓ What if my report shows reduced detox ability?
Genes aren’t destiny! The recommendations in your report give you actionable steps — such as optimizing antioxidants, supporting liver function, or avoiding certain environmental exposures.
❓ How is this different from my other SelfDecode reports?
This pathway report zooms in on detox specifically and maps how multiple genes interact within the detox cycle. It’s more visual and integrated than single-topic reports.
