Myth: one gene explains everything
Methylation involves multiple genes and related nutrient pathways. A single variant may be interesting, but it rarely tells the whole story on its own.
Myth: genetic testing gives a diagnosis
A report can show predispositions or pathway patterns, but it does not diagnose disease. Clinical questions still depend on symptoms, history, and professional review.
Myth: results automatically tell you which supplements to take
Genetic information may help frame questions about nutrition and wellness, but it should not be turned into one-size-fits-all recommendations without context.
Myth: if you feel fine, genes do not matter
Even when people feel well, a report may still help them understand how pathways are discussed and why interpretation should remain measured rather than extreme.
