This patient carries an increased risk of chronic inflammation. From a cardiovascular perspective, this patient could potentially be at an increased risk of atherosclerosis and even an acute cardiac event such as a stroke or heart attack. Approach extensive and intensive periods of physical activity recommendations with increased care.

DIET, LIFESTYLE, AND ENVIRONMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
Prioritize sleep. Help your patient understand why improving sleep is important to reducing inflammation. Take and track relevant biomarkers of cardiovascular health: cholesterol panel, homocysteine, HbA1C, vitamin D, hs-CRP Prioritize foods rich in B vitamins (fish, eggs, spinach, yeasts), anthocyanins (plums, cherries, red cabbage, eggplant), and reduce/avoid fried and sugary foods.

HEALTH CONCERN
Hypercholesterolemia
Genes involved:
APOE, PCSK9
RESULT + SUMMARY
This patient carries an increased predisposition towards higher levels of cholesterol. Even with healthy lifestyle and dietary choices, it's still possible that they may present with higher than normal cholesterol levels.
SUPPLEMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
Fiber (be it increased plants in diet or as a supplement)
DIET, LIFESTYLE, AND ENVIRONMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
If your triglycerides are below 90 mg/dl, we suggest you eat two tablespoons of oat bran each day for 12 weeks, two times a year. If your triglycerides are above 90 mg/dl, we suggest you eat these foods on a daily basis: 8 almonds with skin dry roasted as a daily snack 200g of dark green leaves consumed throughout the day Include 2 tbsp of a quality, raw extra-virgin olive oil into diet

Hypertension
Genes involved:
ACE, NOS3
RESULT + SUMMARY
This patient carries an increased risk of hypertension. Other than direct factors like ACE or NOS activity, cursory factors like anxiety and insulin resistance can also initiate periods of increased blood pressure readings.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Magnesium
DIET, LIFESTYLE, AND ENVIRONMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
Encourage physical active every day and integration of physical activity into the day. Beyond fitness, think about adding movement throughout daily routine to get more time outside and increase baseline activity levels. Find a mindfulness or meditation technique one enjoys and start practicing it for 5 minutes every morning. Especially for those with suboptimal ACE, identify sodium sources and reduce all packaged, processed, and restaurant foods. Reduce caffeine.

Poor Statin Response
Genes involved:

RESULT + SUMMARY
This patient is more likely to have a suboptimal response to statins such as lipitor or crestor. Symptoms generally manifest as muscle pain as well as other forms of myalgia. Symptoms may not necessarily show up right away but can crop up a few weeks or months into the prescription regimen.

The results for east and south east asian individuals are exactly the opposite of those from caucasian or european backgrounds. For example, in an individual of European descent the A/A version would be considered the suboptimal result, it is actually the optimal version for those of East Asian or South East Asian descent.
