Genetic Testing

​​​​​​​At Chance Chiropractic, Dr. Chris Chance offers select genetic testing through MTHFRDoctors.com. Our focus is primarily on the MTHFR and COMT gene variants which are two important genes that influence how the body processes key nutrients and neurotransmitters.

The MTHFR gene affects how your body converts folate (vitamin B9) into its active form, which is essential for methylation—a process that supports detoxification, hormone balance, and neurotransmitter production. Variants in this gene can be linked to conditions such as fatigue, mood and mental health disorders, cardiovascular disease, blood clots, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, infertility, autism, birth defects, miscarriages, IBS, and many more.

The COMT gene plays a major role in breaking down stress hormones like dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Variants in this gene can contribute to depression, anxiety, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, severity of schizophrenic symptoms, obsessive compulsive disorder in men, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar affective disorder, sleep disturbances, and sensitivity to stress.

Through this partnership, we can also analyze your raw genetic data from Ancestry.com or 23andMe to provide you with a complete and personalized genetic report. This helps us better understand how your genes may be impacting your health—and create more effective, individualized wellness strategies.
