I use the following lab companies for genetics Invitae, Prevention, or Gene DX. These labs may work with your insurance and if the insurance denies payment, you may be able to pay a reduced fee out of pocket. All of this will be negotiated directly with each company.

A licensed provider such as a doctor, a nurse practitioner, or a genetic counselor is typically required to order genetic testing.

You may start and stop at any section depending on needs. For example, a person may feel that they need help with nutrition and stress reduction, but not sleep. No matter how many sections are completed, I recommend a wrap up session to discuss the results of the plan.
