Question 3

How does genetic testing actually improve my health?

Accepted Answer

Genetics alone doesn't tell the full story — how your genes are expressed depends on what your symptoms and metabolic tests reveal about your epigenetics.  Epigenetics is the imprint your environment leaves on your DNA.  Your environment consists of the 5 roots of functional medicine — nutrition, exercise, sleep, social connection, and stress.  By combining your medical history, genetics, and metabolic tests, we tell you exactly which lifestyle habits and supplements to change.

Question 4

Is my genetic data safely stored?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your genetic data is securely stored with our partner testing laboratories and within our Arya Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. After vetting dozens of providers, we partner exclusively with top-tier precision testing companies. Arya is a double-encrypted, HIPAA- and PIPEDA-compliant platform with local cloud storage hosted entirely in Canada, and any AI analysis we utilize relies strictly on de-identified, anonymized data to ensure your privacy is fully protected.

Question 5

Will Dr. Obayashi replace my Family Doctor?

Accepted Answer

No, you need your current primary care provider to diagnose diseases when you're sick.  At Biobi, Dr. Obayashi focuses on disease prevention and health optimization.  He'll initiate investigations, referrals, and treatments if medically necessary, but followup is with your primary care provider.  Biobi Health services are designed to complement -not replace- your regular medical care.
