The Concept
Your life began with a genetic blueprint for your health and wellness.
That blueprint reveals what diseases or health conditions you might encounter along your wellness journey.
Since then, you've lived a life punctuated by periodic illness and inflammation, imprinting your immune system in ways that might affect its future response.
NOW
| BIRTH
BLUIM reads those genetic blueprints and immune imprints, so you can better understand and plan your health and wellness journey.
The Science
A new field of genetics breaks away from the one gene / one disease paradigm, which has worked well for rare diseases with a single cause, but not for common diseases that are controlled by multiple genes.
Our new polygene blueprints report an individual's relative risk for a myriad of common, chronic diseases.

Immune Imprints
Your immune system changes whenever your body experiences illness or inflammation.
Immune cells involved in inflammation expand, crowding out reserve cells over time. Exhausted and anergic cells build up; cells that suppress immune responses emerge. Some of these changes are temporary, but many are permanently imprinted, affecting the speed and efficacy of future immune responses.
By reading these immune imprints, we reveal your immune age and current inflammation in your body.

Under the guidance of your medical and/or wellness provider...
Your BLUIMprint can empower smart health choices!
You can choose to focus your wellness journey on:
-
Immune system optimization through vaccination and infection avoidance
-
Inflammation control through diet and metabolism monitoring
-
Identification of, and treatment for, sources of chronic inflammation
-
Autoimmune surveillance
-
Neurologic activities and exercises
Lifestyle, behavior, and nutrition can prevent or delay diseases you are predisposed to, enhance your immune response, and reduce inflammation. Your BLUIM report can help you and your medical and wellness providers prioritize which measures to take.
You can even use BLUIM to track changes in your immune age and inflammation over time.
