Frequently Asked Questions

What is DNA Nutrigenomics testing? DNA Nutrigenomics testing analyzes your genetic markers to reveal how your body is uniquely designed to process nutrients, respond to exercise, balance hormones, manage inflammation, and age. It translates complex genetic data into a clear, personalized action plan—so instead of following advice built for the average person, you’re working with a blueprint built for you.

How is this different from a standard blood test? Blood tests show you what’s happening in your body right now—a snapshot in time. Your DNA never changes. Nutrigenomics testing reveals the underlying biological tendencies that have always been there—how your body metabolizes certain nutrients, why you respond to some diets and not others, what your genetic risk factors are. It’s the why behind what your blood work shows.

How many genetic markers does the test analyze? Each panel analyzes 100+ genetic markers relevant to that specific area of health. The markers vary by panel—the Athletic Performance panel reads different genes than the Hormone Balance panel, for example—so every report is targeted to what matters most for that category.

What are the six panels and how do I choose? The six panels are Foundational Health, Nutrition & Metabolism, Mind & Mood, Hormone Balance, Athletic Performance, and Skin & Aging. Each targets a distinct area of health and a specific type of buyer. If you’re unsure which is right for you, take our symptom quiz—it takes 60 seconds and will point you in the right direction. You can also purchase multiple panels and combine the insights for a full-spectrum view of your health.

Can I do more than one panel? Yes. Each panel is independent and can be done on its own or combined with others. One cheek swab is all it takes—regardless of how many panels you’re running.

How do I take the test? Your kit ships directly to you. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to complete a simple oral cheek swab—it takes less than two minutes. No needles, no lab visits, no appointments. Once completed, you mail the swab back using the prepaid packaging included in your kit.

How long does it take to get my results? Results are typically returned within [insert turnaround time]. You’ll be notified when your report is ready to access.

How do I receive my report? Your personalized report is delivered digitally. It includes a full genetic analysis broken down by marker category, a plain-language explanation of what your results mean, a personalized action plan, and your specific Designs for Health supplement recommendations.

Is the test accurate? Yes. The testing is performed by a CLIA-certified laboratory using validated genetic analysis methods. The markers analyzed are drawn from peer-reviewed research, and all interpretations are grounded in published science.

Does my DNA change over time? No. Your DNA is fixed at birth and doesn’t change throughout your life. This means your Nutrigenomics report is a permanent reference—not something you need to repeat. Your lifestyle, habits, and supplementation strategy can evolve around it.

Is this the same as 23andMe or AncestryDNA? No. Consumer ancestry tests are designed to identify where your family came from and broad genetic traits. Nutrigenomics testing is clinical in focus—it analyzes the specific markers that influence how your body functions, performs, and responds to nutrition and lifestyle. The purpose, the markers analyzed, and the application are entirely different.

What supplements will I be recommended? Your supplement recommendations are specific to your genetic results—not a generic list. Depending on your panel and what your markers reveal, recommendations may include targeted nutritional support for metabolism, inflammation, hormone health, cognitive function, athletic recovery, or skin aging. Every recommendation is matched to your biology.

Why Designs for Health specifically? Designs for Health is one of the most respected professional-grade supplement lines in the country. Their products are used and recommended by healthcare practitioners nationwide and are held to standards that most retail supplements don’t meet. When your genetic results point to specific nutritional needs, the quality and bioavailability of what you take matters as much as knowing what to take. Designs for Health meets that standard consistently.

Can I order my recommended supplements directly from the site? Yes. Once you receive your report, your personalized supplement recommendations are available to order directly from WayMaker Vitality. You don’t need to go to a separate retailer or search for the right product—everything is right here.

Do I have to buy supplements to get value from the DNA test? No. Your genetic report and action plan stand on their own. The supplement recommendations are an additional layer—a way to act immediately and precisely on what your results reveal. But the knowledge itself is valuable regardless of whether you purchase supplements.

Are Designs for Health supplements available without the DNA test? Yes. You can browse and purchase Designs for Health supplements independently. However, pairing them with your Nutrigenomics results ensures you’re taking exactly what your body needs—not guessing based on general wellness trends.

How do I know which supplements are right for me without the test? If you haven’t taken the test, our symptom quiz is a good starting point—it can help identify areas of focus and point you toward relevant products. That said, the most precise and personalized path is always through the DNA test, which removes the guesswork entirely.

Are these supplements safe to take with medications? If you are currently taking prescription medications or managing a health condition, consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement regimen. While Designs for Health products are professional-grade and held to high standards, your provider should be aware of everything you’re taking.

What are peptides? Peptides are short chains of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins—that act as signaling molecules in the body. They play a role in a wide range of biological functions including cellular repair, hormone regulation, immune response, metabolism, and recovery. Peptide therapy uses specific peptide compounds to support these functions in a targeted, precise way.

What peptides does WayMaker Vitality offer? WayMaker Vitality offers a range of peptide therapies prescribed by U.S.-licensed healthcare professionals based on individual assessment and clinical judgment. Specific offerings are reviewed during your consultation. All peptides are compounded in-house at our certified U.S. sterile pharmacy.

How is WayMaker’s peptide therapy different from other providers? The difference comes down to sourcing, standards, and purity. Most companies selling peptides source from overseas manufacturers with no U.S. regulatory oversight. WayMaker Vitality compounds every peptide in-house at a certified U.S. sterile 797 pharmacy, operating under 503A/503B facility standards—the highest regulatory bar in pharmaceutical compounding. Each formulation contains only the pure, pharmaceutical-grade API of the peptide and benzyl alcohol for sterility. No fillers. No additives. No exceptions.

What does 503A/503B certified mean? 503A and 503B refer to sections of federal pharmacy law that govern compounding pharmacies in the United States. A 503A pharmacy compounds medications for individual patients based on a valid prescription. A 503B outsourcing facility operates under FDA oversight and is subject to current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards. Both designations represent rigorous regulatory compliance—far above what is required of overseas suppliers or non-pharmacy sources.

What is a 797 sterile compounding pharmacy? USP 797 is the standard for sterile pharmaceutical compounding established by the United States Pharmacopeia. It governs everything from facility design and air quality to testing requirements and beyond. Compounding under USP 797 standards means every peptide is prepared in a controlled sterile environment—the same standard used for hospital-grade injectables. This is not optional at WayMaker Vitality. It is the baseline.

Why does it matter that peptides are compounded in the U.S.? U.S.-based compounding pharmacies are subject to state pharmacy board oversight, federal regulations, and USP standards. Overseas manufacturers are not. When a peptide is sourced internationally, there is no guarantee of purity, potency, sterility, or ingredient accuracy. The risk isn’t theoretical—contaminated or mislabeled peptides from unregulated sources are a documented problem in the market. U.S. compounding under 503A/503B standards eliminates that risk.

What does “pure API, no additives” mean? API stands for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient—the actual therapeutic compound itself. When we say our peptides contain only the pure API and benzyl alcohol for sterility, it means there are no fillers, binders, excipients, or undisclosed ingredients. What’s on the label is what’s in the vial. Nothing more.

Are peptides FDA-approved? Compounded peptide therapies are not FDA-approved as finished drug products. They are compounded by licensed U.S. pharmacies for individual patients based on a valid prescription from a licensed provider, which is a legal and established practice under pharmacy law. This is distinct from FDA approval of a commercially manufactured drug, but it is not unregulated—compounding pharmacies are subject to state and federal oversight.

Do I need a prescription for peptide therapy? Yes. All peptide therapies at WayMaker Vitality are prescribed by U.S.-licensed healthcare professionals following an individual health assessment. Providers review your medical history and assessment responses before making any prescribing decision. They maintain full discretion to prescribe or decline treatment based on clinical judgment.

How do I get started with peptide therapy? Begin with a health assessment through the WayMaker Vitality platform. A U.S.-licensed provider will review your information and determine whether peptide therapy is appropriate for you. If prescribed, your medication is compounded at our certified pharmacy and shipped directly to you.

Can I do both the DNA test and peptide therapy? Yes—and many clients do. The DNA test reveals what your body needs at the genetic level. Peptide therapy delivers targeted biological support. Together they create a complete personalized optimization system. You can start with either one independently or pursue both simultaneously.
