Let's Get Started
How It Works
ONE
To develop your personal plan, we need to map your personal genome. Get started by selecting from the IntellxxDNA foundational reports outlined below. Choose one, or several. You can always add on new reports later. Each report includes a one-on-one telehealth meeting with Dr. Sotos. The length of the consultation depends on the report you choose, with more in-depth reports requiring longer consultations.
FOUR
Processing your kit will take approximately 3-4 weeks. You will receive an email when your report is ready for Dr. Sotos to review. Because this is a clinical-grade report and not a direct-to-consumer product, you will not have access to the report until after you have met with Dr. Sotos and she has reviewed it with you.
TWO
To make it easy, Dr. Sotos' fee is included with the price of the report, which is provided at cost.
Once you select your report and complete your purchase, Dr. Sotos will work directly with IntellxxDNA to order your at-home buccal (cheek) swab sample kit and provide you with your login for the IntellxxDNA online portal.
FIVE
Dr. Sotos will email you to schedule your genomic consultation via a telehealth video call. It is best to schedule these calls when you can be on a computer (rather than a cell phone) as she will be sharing her screen with you. When you meet with Dr. Sotos, she will discuss the risks and benefits within your genomic profile, and review potential prevention or intervention strategies to help you achieve optimal health and wellness. The entire process supports an informed interpretation of test results and a better understanding of potential next steps. This becomes your personalized plan. Special attention will be paid to "hotspots" that have the potential to impact your health the most.
​

THREE
When your sample kit arrives by mail, it will come with easy-to-follow instructions. You will log into your portal to activate your kit barcode, and follow the step-by-step instructions to collect your saliva sample. It comes with all the packaging you need to ship it to the lab, including a pre-printed postage label. It's simple, easy and quick.
SIX
After your consultation, your full genomic report and consult notes will be uploaded to your secure patient portal and can be used in the future to make better informed decisions about your health and to optimize your well-being. Since your genes don't change over time, an individual report only needs to be done once. To learn more about your genome you may order different, additional reports.

1
Cognition & Memory Report
The Cognition & Memory Report aims to improve cognition, memory, and overall brain health by identifying reversible causes of memory loss, such as brain fog, dementia, and conditions like vascular dementia and hippocampal atrophy. It examines hundreds of genetic variants that impact brain function and includes insights on nutrigenomics, inflammation, detox, hormones, and methylation factors. While the APOE e4 gene variant is featured, it is just one aspect of a more complex picture. The report is used by functional and integrative medicine professionals, including Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of End of Alzheimer’s, and other researchers focused on brain health.
Over 500 clinically significant gene variants are analyzed and linked to research within 21 different organized topics of focus including:
​
-
Cognition and Memory
-
Brain Inflammation and Blood Brain Barrier Permeability
-
Brain Ischemia
-
Extensive Brain Nutrient Panels
-
Extensive Detoxification Panels
-
Hormones
-
Homocysteine and Methylation
-
Mitochondrial Factors
​
Includes 60 minutes of consultation time.

Medical Overview Report
The Medical Overview Report provides essential information to address and reverse chronic health issues. It challenges the common belief that aging inevitably leads to issues like heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and obesity. By identifying and addressing underlying factors, many of these conditions can be prevented or even reversed. With genomics, a tailored approach helps patients understand their specific gene pathways affecting functions such as insulin and blood sugar, nitric oxide and blood vessels, or the ability to convert thyroid hormone for use in the brain. A personalized treatment plan allows lifestyle recommendations to be followed more effectively, leading to better outcomes.
Over 300 clinically significant gene variants are analyzed and linked to research within 20 different organized topics of focus including:
​
-
Anesthesia Response
-
Blood Clots
-
Cardiac Disease
-
Diabetes
-
Gluten, Dairy, Histamine, Nut Tolerance
-
Key Elements of Methylation, Nutrition and Detox
-
Macular Degeneration
-
Melanoma/Skin Cancer
-
Obesity
-
Thyroid
​​
Includes 60 minutes of consultation time.
​​
3
Mental Wellness Report
The Mental Wellness Report emphasizes the importance of balancing brain neurotransmitters for a happy, productive life. By understanding how your DNA influences mental wellness, it helps optimize attention, focus, stress response, and anxiety management. The report also aids in reducing cravings for substances like sugar, alcohol, nicotine, and even addictive behaviors like gambling or drugs.
​
​
Over 250 clinically significant gene variants are analyzed and linked to research within 20 different organized topics of focus including:
​
-
Addiction and Substance Use
-
ADHD Stimulant Response
-
Anxiety and Stress Vulnerability
-
Attention and Focus
-
Obsession, Rumination and Compulsions
-
Extensive Brain Nutrient Panels
-
Extensive Detoxification Panels
-
Hormones
-
Homocysteine and Methylation
-
Endocannabinoid Binding and Response
-
Heavy Metal and Detox
​
Includes 60 minutes of consultation time.
4
