The DNA insights
Increased LDL (bad) cholesterol
LDL is often called the “bad” kind of cholesterol. High levels of it can be very damaging to the cardiovascular system. This profile uses 809 genetic variants associated with LDL cholesterol.
Decreased HDL (good) cholesterol
Not all cholesterol is bad. HDL cholesterol is important for keeping your LDL (bad) cholesterol in check, and low HDL is a risk factor for heart disease. This polygenic profile uses 883 genetic variants associated with HDL cholesterol.
Increased triglycerides
Triglycerides are the most common type of fat found in the blood, and they serve as a source of energy. Having high triglycerides is a risk factor for heart disease. It can also have negative effects on the liver. This polygenic profile uses 769 genetic variants associated with triglycerides.
Caffeine and blood pressure
The CYP1A2 gene helps make an enzyme that metabolizes more than 95 percent of the caffeine you consume. Your genotype here can give you clues on how caffeine could impact your blood pressure.
Salt and blood pressure
A high salt diet can be a risk factor for high blood pressure, and for some people, this risk is increased even more by genetics. This test evaluates variants in AGT gene, which helps control blood pressure by regulating the balance of fluids and salts in the body.

WHAT MAKES ARIVALE DIFFERENT
A Complete Approach to Your Wellness
At Arivale, we believe genes aren’t your destiny. They show your potential. That’s why we combine your DNA insights with 40+ blood markers and lifestyle analysis, including sleep and stress. With this product, gain an in-depth understanding of genetics that could impact your predisposition for high LDL (bad) cholesterol, low HDL (good) cholesterol, and high triglycerides.
Guided by genetic insights and the personalized advice from an Arivale Registered Dietitian, you can take actionable steps towards bettering your heart health. Genetics play a small part in a big picture, but knowing how your body may be programmed to process some foods can give you a leg up as you pursue a healthy lifestyle.
The science
Blood lipids, e.g. cholesterol and triglycerides, are a natural and important part of our body, but can cause problems if present in excess. The amount of these lipids in your blood is a combination of what your body makes and what you absorb from your diet. DNA influences both of these, but your dietary choices and lifestyle factors, like stress, drive most of the final outcome. There are some rare conditions that result in high cholesterol and/or triglycerides, regardless of diet, but this product does not test for those.
Some diet decisions, like eating lots of meats and cheeses, may increase your blood lipids, and this might impact your heart health. A blood test is the best way to measure your blood lipids, and your doctor or a cardiologist can help you understand any health impacts from those results. Otherwise, DNA insights from this product can help you understand the whole picture and hopefully encourage you to make healthy diet decisions for your heart.
Impact
DNA is just the start. Diet and lifestyle choices have a larger impact on your heart health, or in some cases, rare conditions not included in this product.
