INTRODUCTION

There is a lot of information in your 3X4 Blueprint and it can beoverwhelming. To help you focus on the areas where you will seethe biggest benefit, we have used a language of color. Eachpathway is color-coded from a dark purple (highest impact on yourhealth) to light green (lowest impact on your health) to help youand your healthcare practitioner know where to focus yourattention. We recommend you start with your summary plan thathas been created based on your unique genetic profile to highlightthe areas where you can make the biggest positive impact on yourhealth.

Why this genet ic test?

Your genes are the basic instructions for how you build, regulate, and maintain your body. These instructions determinehow your body responds to food, exercise, stress, and toxins.

3X4 makes complex science simple. Our approach is different from conventional genetic tests. Instead of looking at everygene individually, we use a patented machine learning model to understand the interactions between your genes in manybiological processes in your body. We call these processes your metabolic pathways or pathways for short.

We use all of this information to help you make simple and meaningful changes to your quality of life, by identifying the 3pathways where you can make the biggest impact on your long term health. For each of these pathways we provide:

- 3x diet recommendations, - 3x lifestyle or behavior interventions, - and 3x possible supplements or behavior suggestions.

Through this journey, we hope that you will come to understand three things:

- You are unique and have your own health story, - Thanks to your DNA you now know where to make the biggest difference in your health, - Your DNA does not define you, the small daily choices you make from today can have a profound impact on your DNA.

1 Your Plan Pages 4-5

Having a plan means you and your practitioner can finally start to put things into action! We provide you with apersonalized summary based on your unique genetic profile, that indentifies the 3 pathways along with simple to followrecommendations that will have the biggest positive impact on your life long health. Using these insights along withyour current diet, lifestyle and medical history, your practitioner will work with you to develop a personalized andtargeted plan to get you started on your journey to a longer, better and healthier life.

2 Your Results Pages 6-8

This is where it gets a bit technical, but this is a genetic test, so bear with us. In this section, we show you the results ofevery individual gene variant we tested and show you how these work within 36 pathways that determine your overallexpression of health. Although complex, your results start to give you a sense of how unique you are and how unlikely itis that anybody will have the same genetic makeup as you do. Awesome, right?

3 Your Story Pages 9 to 15

Genetics can be a complicated subject, but a critical one in your journey towards optimal health. Getting to optimalhealth requires making sustainable changes, but if you don't understand why you need to make a change, it's unlikelyyou ever will.

This is where 3X4 believes that the power of storytelling helps bring you closer to getting a deeper level ofunderstanding whats happening in your body at a genetic level. So, grab your blanket, sit back and let your practitionertell you the story of you.

4 Glossary & Detailed Results Pages 17 to 32

This is where we nerd out. Some of you will be, like 'Just tell me what I need to do', others will want to know what thisgenetic thing is all about. What are these pathway things of which you speak? For those of you with a deep curiosity inthis subject, this section is for you!

All 36 metabolic processes are broken down, defined and explained in the glossary, in a simple, easy-to-understandlanguage.

YOUR 3X4 SUMMARY PLAN Leslie Edmunds

Welcome to your own personalized 3X4 plan. We have identified the top 3 pathways based on your unique genetic profile whereyou will see the biggest impact to your health. For each pathway, we provide three recommended diet and lifestyle interventionsand three supplement suggestions. Your health practitioner will use these recommendations in combination with your currentdiet, lifestyle, medical history, family history, and environmental exposures to build a complete picture of whom you are, resultingin practical and personalized recommendations that guide you on your journey to making health a daily choice.

Genetics can have an impact on many areas of yourhealth, which can be overwhelming. At 3X4 webelieve it is important to keep it simple by introducingsmall incremental changes to your lifestyle that areeasy to implement and become habits.

Our philosophy is that given a small number oflifestyle changes built around a personalized story ofyou helps you understand why theserecommendations are important for your health andensures that these interventions are more likely tobecome sustainable habits in your daily life.

Oxidative stress is the human equivalent of rusting. The impact of all exposures over time results in damage to ourcells. Unmanaged, oxidation can impact on our energy levels, memory, premature aging and sometimes cancer risk. Ina healthy functioning cell, enzymes that counteract oxidative damage, a 'rust block' so to speak, are made. The abilityto make those enzymes is determined by certain genes. However, a good diet and lifestyle can aid towards a loweroxidative burden and help maintain the health of your cells.

1. Consume at least 1-2 cups of whole plant foods (pomegranate, berries, dark leafy greens, chilli peppers, beetroot, olives andolive oil).

2. Optimize foods rich in Zinc, Copper, Selenium and Manganese (seeds, nuts, leafy greens and legumes).3. Implement an anti-inflammatory diet plan with foods high in polyphenols, omega-3 rich foods, curcumin, black pepper,

cardamom and cumin seeds.

1. Extensive endurance and high intensity training increases superoxide molecules which can cause oxidative stress. Managetraining regime, ensure recovery with rest and proper nutrition.

2. Limit contact with strong pro-oxidants (heavy metals, pesticides, mold, radiation), avoid excessive intake of Iron, Copper,vitamin C and E as single nutrients.

3. Regulate circadian rhythm by sleeping in a dark environment for at least 7-8 hours per night. Limit exposure to blue lightbefore bed.

1. Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone or Ubiquinol)2. Alpha Lipoic Acid, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and GliSODin (Cantaloupe Melon extract rich in SOD)3. Manganese, Zinc and Selenium

Inflammation is a normal automatic immune response to injury, irritation or infection. When you bump your toe and itbecomes swollen, that's the inflammatory response working to speed up healing. Sometimes injuries or irritations areinternal (in places like our gut, muscles, joints, or blood vessels). Inflammation is protective by design, but can becomedestructive if left unchecked. Long term, chronic inflammation can eventually lead to conditions like arthritis, eczema,IBS, autoimmune conditions, and several diseases.

1. Include organic, non-GMO polyphenol-rich foods (berries, cocoa, olives, hazelnuts, dark chocolate), and anti-inflammatoryspices (curcumin, black pepper, cardamom, cumin seeds).

2. Aim for unsaturated fats (salmon, sardines, cold-pressed olive and avocado oil), fermented foods (kimchi, miso, yogurt),prebiotic fibers (garlic, onions, leeks), and beta-glucans (whole grains, shiitake mushrooms).

3. Limit intake of pro-inflammatory fats rich in omega-6s and saturated fats. Consider elimination trial of proinflammatory diettriggers (gluten, dairy, saturated fats, sugar, processed foods), then reintroduce. Eliminate trans fats completely.

1. Limit exposure to environmental inflammatory triggers: pollen, mold, pesticides, non-organic cleaning products, perfumes,cosmetics, air fresheners.

2. Intermittent fasting reduces inflammation. Avoid eating 3 hours before bedtime and eat a late breakfast to ensure an overnightfast.

3. Ensure enough sleep, meditate, practice yoga, and other relaxation techniques to reduce stress hormones.

1. Omega-3s (EPA & DHA daily) 1000-3000mg2. 30mg Zinc, 200mcg Selenium, Quercetin and Luteolin to block mast cell activation.3. Fat soluble vitamins A, D3 and E

Detoxification is the body's way of getting rid of toxins that could otherwise build up and interfere with health. Signsof poor detox include lethargy, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and unexplained aches and pains in the body. The liveris the main site of whole-body detox but every cell has its own toxin-eliminating processes to keep it clean, healthyand working well. Detoxification can be optimized by making the right diet and lifestyle changes to support goodcellular cleaning processes.

1. Consume at least 1-2 cups of organic plant foods that support liver enzymes (berries, pomegranate, cruciferous vegetables,green tea and walnuts).

2. Include foods that support phase 2 detox (garlic, radishes, asparagus, onion, apples, nuts, sesame, pumpkin, mustard seeds,ginger). Avoid GMO foods, farmed fish, non-organic meats and poultry, and dirty dozen produce.

3. Aim for 25-40g of fiber daily (whole grains, sweet potatoes, celery and apples). These foods also contain toxin bindingproperties.

1. Lower your 'toxic burden' by avoiding harmful micro-plastics, non-organic cleaning and personal products, pesticides, paintand glue.

2. Intermittent fasting activates detoxification. Ensure enough time between meals and overnight.3. Sweat for at least 30 minutes 3-4 times a week with steam, infrared sauna, and exercise.

1. Active sulforaphane (whole broccoli sprouts) as recommended by healthcare practitioner.2. Vitamin B6, B2, Magnesium, Selenium to support liver health.3. Zeolite/Bentonite clay to support toxin excretion.

CELLULAR OVERVIEWWe are the sum of our cells, and we are only as healthy as they are. Every cell in your body functions independently - like a smallapartment or office space inside a high-rise building - each unit takes care of its own day-to-day maintenance, but ultimatelycontributes to the overall success and functionality of the building as a whole. Similarly, every cell in your body has its ownmechanisms in place to clean and protect it, to maintain health for the whole body and all its organs.

INFLAMMATIONHIGH

2

ENERGY OVERVIEWGlucose is our main fuel source and what we make energy from. How we extract, absorb, burn, distribute, store and waste thiscurrency varies between individuals, partly because of genetic variation. People respond very differently to calories, exercise,fasting, fatigue, etc. Hunger is also experienced very personally and with great variability. Knowing how you’re hard-wired tohandle fat, food, and fitness can save you a lot of frustration and, well… energy. These insights can be a powerful tool that enablesyou to work with your body, not against it, to finally reach your health goals.

THE GLOSSARY

The formation, storage, and release of fat cells are affected by variability in our genes. These gene variations may bepartly responsible for why some people find it easy to gain or lose weight compared to others, even though their dietand lifestyles are similar. How our fat cells release energy is determined by certain genes and their variations.Knowing how your fat cells are predisposed to store and release energy can empower you to make the right diet andlifestyle choices to suit your unique genotype.

Some people are very sensitive to the sensation of satiety (fullness), while others often overeat and take longer toregister that they are full. We all experience hunger and fullness differently. While many people believe that servingsizes and other eating behaviors should be equal for all, variations in our genes determine our appetite level andsatiety to some degree, and consequently, may affect our eating patterns (snacking, binge eating, servings, frequencyof meals, etc.) in a very real, biological way.

Blood clotting is a survival mechanism designed to prevent uncontrolled bleeding. On the other hand, excess bloodclotting, which may be linked to genetic variants coupled with diet and lifestyle factors also needs to be addressed.When clotting occurs, the clot travels to a small blood vessel or vein in either the heart, brain or extremities and mayresult in a stroke, heart attack or deep vein thrombosis. There are numerous preventative actions that can be taken.

Blood pressure indicates how hard the heart is working in order to pump blood around the circulatory system, and isused as a measure for confirming good health. High blood pressure can cause damage to blood vessels, delicatetissues in organs and systems in the body. Genetic variance impacts the ability to contract and relax blood vesselsand balance fluid volume within them.

Bones offer important structural support and protective roles within our body. Bone is made up of minerals such ascalcium and phosphorus, which is also used elsewhere in the body. The turnover of these minerals in the breakdownor build-up of new bone cells is important for bone health. Gene variants may impact these processes and affect thebalance of breakdown and build-up. Diet and lifestyle choices also contribute a great deal to these processes.

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. In small amounts, caffeine's effects include mild euphoria, alertness,and enhanced cognitive performance; but in higher quantities, it can trigger anxiety, restlessness, irritability, nausea,and insomnia. The clearance of caffeine can vary to up to 40-fold between individuals, a genetically-determinedability. Certain gene variants confer a higher sensitivity to caffeine and are associated with slower metabolism ofcaffeine.

THE GLOSSARY

Cholesterol metabolism refers to processes that determine the distribution of lipids in the body. Fats bind to proteinsthat transport them in the bloodstream between organs. Different forms of fat particles have important roles to playas part of cell membrane structures and as precursors for hormones. Suboptimal cholesterol processes may result inan imbalance in the accumulation and breakdown of fats in the bloodstream, which most commonly leads tocardiovascular diseases like heart disease and stroke.

Choline is a vitamin that plays an important role in the building of cell membranes. It is a key nutrient for a healthypregnancy, mood regulation, memory and making new DNA. It is also involved in fat transport and supportsmethylation. Certain genes may affect the availability of choline, increasing dietary choline requirements.

All our cells are continuously being renewed by being broken down and replaced by new ones. Collagen is the majorstructural protein and the foundation of all our soft-tissue (skin, hair, nails, joints, and organs). Variations in collagengenes might affect the structure and function of these areas. Causing excessive breakdown of cells without acomparable formation of new cells will result in degeneration. Genes play a large part in the process of collagenformation and breakdown, as does lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise.

Detoxification is the body's way of getting rid of toxins that could otherwise build up and interfere with health. Signsof poor detox include lethargy, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and unexplained aches and pains in the body. The liveris the main site of whole-body detox but every cell has its own toxin-eliminating processes to keep it clean, healthyand working well. Detoxification can be optimized by making the right diet and lifestyle changes to support goodcellular cleaning processes.

Endurance refers to activities where muscles are exercised at lower intensities for prolonged periods of time. Yourgenes play a role in determining how well you will respond to endurance-based activities, and can be used as a guideto optimize your exercise program to get the best results. Endurance levels will improve when you follow a programthat gradually increases your training load (duration, frequency and intensity). Numerous health benefits can beachieved at lower intensities of exercise.

Energy expenditure is the amount of energy (kilojoules or calories) that is needed to carry out important functionssuch as breathing, digesting food, circulating blood, regulating temperature, and exercising. The more commonly usedterm when referring to how we burn calories is to say we have a 'fast' or 'slow' metabolism. The rate at which we useand manage calories for energy is largely determined by our genes, our activity, what and how much we eat,resulting in significant individual differences between how we burn energy.

THE GLOSSARY

Research has confirmed that people’s response to exercise varies considerably. Some respond quickly to exercise(e.g. they get fit fast and their body composition changes favorably), while others are less sensitive to exercise'seffects. A significant contributor to these differences in exercise response is genetics. An individual's ability tomobilize stored body fat and burn it for exercise fuel is partly predisposed by certain genes. It is useful to understandthe extent exercise may help weight loss and how to balance these factors out.

Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats and perform many important functions in the body. They are the base forcell membranes, help make hormones, are involved in inflammation, brain function and the immune system. Differentdietary fats impact the body in different ways and our genes impact how these fats are metabolized and processed.Good quality dietary fat intake may correct these imbalances driven by genes.

Estrogen is the major female hormone involved in reproduction. Estrogen-like molecules are also found externally inour environment, in the foods we eat, the packaging and products we are exposed to, as well as in artificial hormonemedications such as the contraceptive pill and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Cumulative lifetime exposure toestrogens can increase our cancer risk, so keeping a favorable estrogen metabolism is important. Certain genes aswell as diet and lifestyle choices impact how these hormones are metabolized.

Folate is an essential vitamin that works together with all B vitamins and plays a vital role in methylation. Folate alsohelps maintain brain, nerve, blood cells, and DNA health. Natural occurring folate is found in numerous foodsincluding leafy greens, legumes and asparagus. The synthetic form is called folic acid, commonly used in supplementsand fortified foods, but is less beneficial compared to folate. Genetic variation affects the availability and therequirement for folate.

Our cells run on glucose, a simple sugar obtained from the food we eat. Our bodies work hard to ensure the amountof glucose in the blood is kept at just the right level. High blood glucose is often associated with weight issues anddiabetes, but chronically elevated blood sugar also has other effects such as accelerated aging and chronicinflammation, which underlie every major chronic disease. The way insulin and glucose do their job is determined bycertain genes as well as by our weight, diet, and lifestyle choices.

Celiac disease occurs when there is an immune reaction to gluten which is the protein found in wheat, barley and rye.In these cases, gluten can causes inflammation in the gut which damages the gut wall and leads to complicationsresulting in deficiency conditions like anemia, osteoporosis and thyroid problems. If certain genes variants are present,gluten may need to be removed from the diet completely.

Histamine is a chemical produced by mast cells, that is involved in immunity and the removal of allergens from thebody. It also helps with digestion and is released in response to injury and toxins. Histamine can be made by bacteriain the gut but is also present in certain foods. Genes regulate enzymes that are responsible for histamine breakdown.Inefficient breakdown may result in a histamine overload and cause symptoms like migraines, flushing, dizziness, skinrashes and hives.

Inflammation is a normal automatic immune response to injury, irritation or infection. When you bump your toe and itbecomes swollen, that's the inflammatory response working to speed up healing. Sometimes injuries or irritations areinternal (in places like our gut, muscles, joints, or blood vessels). Inflammation is protective by design, but can becomedestructive if left unchecked. Long term, chronic inflammation can eventually lead to conditions like arthritis, eczema,IBS, autoimmune conditions, and several diseases.

Injuries are caused by many internal and external factors. A torn tissue or chronic overuse of muscles, tendons orligaments does not affect everyone in the same way, or necessarily result in injury. The combination of your body'smake-up and genetics contribute to the development of injuries. Knowing your genetically determined risk for injurycan help to manage and avoid these risks, and help you adjust exercise, lifestyle, diet, and recovery routinesaccordingly.

Certain genes affect the body's ability to transport iron from the tissues to the blood, so that excess iron can beexcreted. Excessive iron accumulation within the tissues, known as hemochromatosis, is a condition that can result inthe damage of organs which can precipitate disease conditions such as diabetes, cancer, irregular heart beat and livercirrhosis.

The brain is the control center of the body, and keeping it healthy is crucial for overall mental and physical health.Apart from regulating all hormones and other biological processes, the brain is also responsible for cognitive function,including attention, focus, learning capacity, and memory. Brain health and function tend to decline with age but at afaster rate in individuals with unfavorable diet and lifestyle behaviors. Certain genetic variations may be anotherreason why our brain health and cognitive function might not be optimal.

Methylation is the biochemical process of repairing and making new DNA, making sure every cell is functioningoptimally. Methylation is not just responsible for how we repair DNA, but also how we make energy, respond tostress, handle inflammation, how well our cells detoxify, and how our brain chemistry works. Methylation is thebiochemical process involved in actually turning genes on or off. We may be able to reduce our risk of developingcertain diseases and some types of cancers by optimizing methylation.

It is normal for our moods to change depending on the situation, but when a person's emotional state leads tochanges in behavior that affect their ability to deal with daily routines, support should be sought. Genetics affects ourability to manufacture and balance chemicals in the brain that are necessary to manage mood, anxiety, depression,addiction and related behaviors. In addition, diet and lifestyle choices impact brain chemicals and may requireadjustment.

Oxidative stress is the human equivalent of rusting. The impact of all exposures over time results in damage to ourcells. Unmanaged, oxidation can impact on our energy levels, memory, premature aging and sometimes cancer risk. Ina healthy functioning cell, enzymes that counteract oxidative damage, a 'rust block' so to speak, are made. The abilityto make those enzymes is determined by certain genes. However, a good diet and lifestyle can aid towards a loweroxidative burden and help maintain the health of your cells.

Power refers to activities where muscles are exercised at higher intensities for shorter periods of time. It is theproduct of force and the speed at which the action is performed. Power is important for athletic performance, andgenetics play a significant role in how a person's power capacity can improve following a strength and power-basedtraining program. Many daily activities are enhanced by adequate power capacity. It becomes even more important tocontinue with strength and power-based exercises as you age and muscle mass decreases.

Fat cells are not just inactive storage compartments for excess weight - they are metabolically active messengers thatcontrol our energy levels. These messenger molecules found in fat tissue are called adipokines. Fat tissue secretesvarious pro- and anti-inflammatory adipokines to manage inflammation. If there is excess adipose tissue in the body,the inflammatory response can become disrupted, and these proinflammatory molecules increase. Obesity-inducedinflammation can be managed by losing excess weight, which reduces adipokines.

Because exercise is a type of ‘stress’ on the body (the good kind of stress), some level of wear and tear inevitablyoccurs in muscles and tissues during and directly after a workout (this is how muscles grow). Given the right recoveryresources and building blocks, the body quickly repairs and rebuilds muscles and tissues back to a healthy, normalstate, ready for the next exertion. Without enough recovery time or resources, inflammation and oxidative stress canarise in the body and the risk for tissue break-down, injury, and pain increases.

Salt sensitivity is estimated to be present in 51% of individuals with high blood pressure and 26% with normal bloodpressure. In individuals with salt sensitivity, blood pressure may increase when excess sodium is consumed. Althoughthe mechanisms underlying salt sensitivity are complex, your genes can help determine and predict your response tosalt.

Your genetics plays a significant role in influencing your baseline fitness level, as well as your response to aerobictraining. Your fitness levels and training response can be measured as VO2 max, which is the maximum amount ofoxygen you can use during intense exercise. The higher your VO2 max, the fitter you are. Being fitter reduces yourrisk of cardiovascular disease and improves quality of life. High VO2 max levels are associated with performance inendurance-based sports.

Veins and arteries make up a network in the body responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients to our organsand systems, and for removing waste. Having healthy blood vessels means maintaining their strength and flexibility.Loss of function makes them vulnerable to damage and disease. Certain genes, and diet and lifestyle factors influencehow these vessels are maintained and kept healthy.

Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that works together with folate and other B vitamins . It's a major player inmaintaining the health of both brain and blood cells, as well as the synthesis of DNA. Vitamin B12 is exclusivelyavailable from animal products, but may be made in the gut by bacteria. Genes may affect the availability, metabolismand requirement for Vitamin B12.

Vitamin C is capable of excreting or neutralizing substances such as toxins and biproducts of normal cellular functionthat may cause rust-like damage within our cells. It is also a key nutrient in the health of our collagen and bloodvessels and assists in iron absorption, and wound healing. Certain genes show us how effective we are at activatingvitamin C for use in these functions.

Vitamin D is made in the skin when exposed to sunlight. It is then activated in the liver and kidneys to produce vitaminD3. Vitamin D3 is able to switch multiple genes on, genes that are responsible for the maintenance of bone health andimmunity, as well as the health of the hormone, glucose and cardiovascular systems. Variants in the VDR gene impactabsorption, metabolism, and utilization of Vitamin D, therefore dietary intervention and increased sun exposure maybe required.

There is considerable inter-individual variability in our physical ability to lose, gain, or maintain a healthy weight.Certain gene variations affect how we regulate energy and make us more genetically- prone to weight gain and slowweight loss. A one-size-fits-all model does not exist when it comes to how much or how frequently we should eat, orwhat type of exercise we should do and for how long. Genetic variations can explain, at least in part, how peoplerespond to overeating, exercise, and diet.
