What is Personalized Medicine?
Nutrigenomics is the study of our own unique genetic variations that are risk factors in health conditions and health syndromes; and what nutrition (and lifestyle) factors can impact genetic function.
At Sound Integrative Health we are certified to consult on the Intellxxdna reports. This report analyzes over 20,000 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) within your DNA, with particular attention to combinatorial effects and potential preventions and interventions.
This is not like 23andMe or other Direct-to-consumer genomics tests. While these test are a great first step into the world of genomics, these tests don’t tell the whole story and usually only highlight disease risk and ancestral background
Deep DNA analysis like Intellxxdna, can dive into your current and at-risk health problems, and provide practical information that you can apply to improving your health. This testing provides comprehensive, clinical-focused knowledge of health risks and benefits within your genetic makeup.

Genomics is ever-evolving, complex.
Nutrigenomics IntellxxDNA information session
How does it work?
Nutrigenomics with Intellxxdna has been used for disease prevention as well as to help solve puzzles for many conditions such as anxiety, depression, cognition problems, neurobehavioral disorders, cardiovascular disease and more, digestive disorders and more. Intellxxdna has also been featured on many prominent media outlets such as this interview with Dr. Jill live.
Research has been published using IntellxxDna for:
Profiles
There are four available testing profiles: Medical Overview Profile, Brain Optimization Profile, Mental Wellness Profile, and Neurodevelopmental Profile. These profiles can purchased separately or together. Each panel examines gene variants associated with the transportation of various nutrients and hormones in your body and brain, helping to identify which nutrients and hormones you may require in higher lower amounts. Here’s an overview of each profile:
Medical Overview Profile
$1250 value
This includes 20 panels covering a wide variety of chronic health issues:
-
Cardiac Health
-
Diabetes
-
Osteoporosis
-
Blood Clot Risk
-
Methylation
-
Detox
-
& More
Also includes a total of one hour to one and a half hours of review with Dr. Rinde, divided into shorter segments for improved information retention.
Brain Optimization Profile
$1750 value
This includes 20 detailed Alzheimer’s related panels:
-
Nutrigenomics
-
Estrogen
-
Methylation
-
Detox
-
Stroke
-
& More
-
with 20+ additional SNPs
-
Deletions
-
& Lab verification of APOE variant(s)
Also includes two and a half hours of review with Dr. Rinde, divided into shorter segments to enhance retention.
Mental Wellness Profile
$1750 value
This includes detailed panels pertaining to mental health:
-
Attention & focus
-
ADHD stimulant response
-
Anxiety
-
Obsession
-
Rumination & compulsions.
This report allows us to look at gene variants related to how various nutrients and hormones are transported throughout your body and into your brain and identify nutrients and hormones that you may need more or less of than others.
Neurodevelopmental Profile
$1750 value
This includes detailed panels pertaining to mental health:
-
Attention & focus
-
ADHD stimulant response
-
Anxiety
-
Rumination & compulsions.
-
Obsession
As well as pathways related to Autism Spectrum Disorders and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS).
Also includes two and a half hours of review with Dr. Rinde, divided into shorter segments to enhance retention.
Combination Reports
We also offer combination reports as well as a la carte pricing, allowing you to add any additional report to create a package for $750 each. Additions can be made at any time following the original order.
Executive Combination Report
This report includes our complete range of IntellxxDNA™ panels, featuring both Medical Overview and Brain Optimization reports that encompass more than600 genomic SNPs. It cost $2050 and includes three hours of review time with Dr. Rinde, divided shorter segments for enhanced information retention.
Neurodevelopment Combination Report
This report includes the Mental Wellness Report and the Neurodevelopmental Panel, analyzing more than 600 genomic SNPs. The cost is $2,050 and includes a total of three hours of review by Dr. Rinde, divided into shorter segments for improved information retention.
Powerhouse Report
This report includes information from all three reports: Mental Wellness, Medical Overview, and Brain Optimization. The total cost is $2700 and includes three hours review by Dr. Rinde, divided into shorter segments for enhanced information retention.
Frequently asked Questions?
1.
How is this different from 23&Me/other direct-to-consumer genetic services?
Direct-to-consumer genomic companies provide only raw data on your genetics and you must pay another company to analyze your information to “unlock” this information and make it useful to you.
IntellxxDNA’s results come with scientifically researched recommendations, and Dr. Rinde will individually review these results with you and help you to decide which genes to act on based on your medical history.
IntellxxDNA testing also uses bead technology combined with PCR testing to analyze your genome, which makes it 98% accurate. Direct-to-consumer companies use a much less accurate technology, which allows for error and unreliability in results (less than 50-75% accurate in some cases!).
In fact, these companies state that the information they provide is not suitable for medical or diagnostic purposes, and users are encouraged to consult with a medical practitioner before implementing any major lifestyle changes.
2.
Will this information be part of my medical file?
This genetic testing will NOT become a part of your medical file, as no insurance is billed and a separate medical portal is used for the data
3.
How long does it take to receive results?
The report typically requires a processing time of about 4 to 5 weeks. This duration allows us to ensure that all details are thoroughly reviewed and accurately compiled. We appreciate your patience during this period as we work diligently to deliver the best results.

Schedule a Discovery Call
To become a patient, you must complete a meet and greet/discovery call over video, which you can do by clicking below. Dr. Rinde accepts specialty care patients for chronic health conditions especially those involving the digestive system. He is not providing general primary care for new patients. The meet and greet helps determine if the practice is a good fit and irons out issues such as logistics and costs. Telemedicine only and out of state patients will be reviewed case-by-case.
