As part of your experience at EcoHotel El Agua, guests can request an epigenetic test. From the analysis of five strands of hair it reveals 96 biomarkers and the epigenetic information accumulated throughout your life — deficiencies or excesses in areas such as heavy metals, vitamins, the state of the microbiota and the metabolic system — and also detects the accumulation of electromagnetic waves in the body. You receive a detailed report of more than twenty pages, with personalised recommendations: new nutritional habits and small daily actions to improve these parameters and restore your overall health.
The test provides insight into four areas:
- Microbiome analysis — understand how your gut health affects mood, energy and overall wellness, helping to alleviate burnout symptoms.
- Toxicity assessment — evaluate heavy metal levels and toxins that may contribute to fatigue and stress, improving your recovery.
- Nutritional requirements — insight into your own nutritional needs, so we can tailor meals to your health profile.
- Genetic predispositions — learn about the genetic factors that influence your stress response and overall health, for informed lifestyle changes.
