DNA Testing vs. Doctor Visits: What’s the Difference?Updated a month ago

A DNA test like CircleDNA helps you understand your genetic blueprint, the information you are born with. It provides insights into:

• Your potential health risks

• Your ideal diet, fitness, and sleep patterns

• Ancestry, personality traits, and natural abilities

• How your body may respond to medications and lifestyle choices

Think of it as a proactive roadmap for long-term wellness, giving you the power to make informed choices before symptoms appear. For more on the deep insights CircleDNA offers, visit our Technology page.

A doctor visit, in contrast, focuses on your current health. This usually involves:

• Diagnosing and treating existing symptoms or conditions

• Using tools such as blood tests, scans, and physical exams

• Offering medical advice and treatment plans based on your present needs
  
  

When combined, CircleDNA and your healthcare provider give you a more complete approach to health. CircleDNA offers prevention and long-term insights, while your doctor provides real-time care and treatment. Together, they support your well-being today and in the future.
