Urinary Tract Health
This report reads your DNA and sorts every result into one of five plain-language groups, so you can see at a glance what deserves attention and what does not. Nothing here is a diagnosis. A flagged result means your genetics place you above or below the average person for that trait — a reason to ask a question, not a reason to worry.
Urinary Tract Health — Urinary tract health plays a crucial role in maintaining overall well-being, affecting everything from bladder function to prostate health. While lifestyle factors such as hydration and hygiene are important, genetics also plays a significant role in determining your susceptibility to various urinary
These are ordered by how closely they relate to your flagged results — not generic health advice. Marrow does not prescribe, dose, or tell you to take anything. Diet and lifestyle changes are listed first because they are yours to make. Anything you would swallow is listed separately, by name only, as something to raise with a clinician who knows your history and your medications.
Aim for at least one serving (approximately 1 medium-sized tomato or 1/2 cup of chopped or cooked tomatoes) per day.
Visit a licensed acupuncturist for a session, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, once or twice a week.
Avoid Secondhand Smoke Implementing a smoke-free lifestyle involves communicating your needs to family, friends, and coworkers, requesting they respect your choice by smoking away from you.
Use an electrical stimulation device on the targeted area of your body for 20-30 minutes each day.
Schedule sessions of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with a licensed healthcare provider, typically TA involving 4-6 weeks of daily treatments for 20-60 minutes per session.
Engage in strength training exercises, such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises, for 60 minutes per session, TA 2 to 3 times per week.
Eliminate or significantly reduce consumption of foods high in spices, such as hot peppers, curry, and salsa, from your daily diet.
These came up in the research behind your flagged results. They are listed by name so you can ask about them. Marrow is not recommending them, and gives no dose. Supplements interact with prescription medication and with each other — that conversation belongs with your clinician.
Of the 12 results in this package, these 7 came back furthest from the population average. Each one below explains what it is, where you sit, and which report it came from. Start here.
Key Takeaways: About 150 million people get at least one UTI per year.
They're much more common in women.
Women at a high genetic risk may want to take precautions, such as staying hydrated and maintaining personal hygiene.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is not clearly understood, but several factors have been identified that increase the risk of developing this disease: Age: The risk increases significantly after age 50, and it is most common in men over 65.
Family history: Having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles a man’s risk.
Race/Ethnicity: African-American men have a higher risk of prostate cancer than men of other races.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
The exact cause of prostatitis is not always clear but can be due to bacterial infections, nerve damage in the pelvic area, or direct injury to the prostate.
Risk factors for prostate inflammation include: Recent bladder infections Enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Having a urinary catheter or recent medical procedures involving the urinary tract Pelvic trauma or injury Dehydration, which can lead to concentrated urine While prostate inflammation can be uncomfortable and disruptive, with the right treatment and care, most men can achieve relief from their symptoms.

Key Takeaways: Urinary incontinence is not uncommon, especially for women, due to pregnancy and menopause.
It can vary in severity from occasional to interfering with daily activities.
Risk factors include being older, female, overweight, a smoker, certain health conditions, and your genetics.

Genetics is a predisposition, not a verdict. The single most useful thing you can do with this document is take it to a clinician and talk through the flagged findings — especially any that line up with symptoms you already have or conditions that run in your family. Nothing here changes: your DNA is the same at 60 as it is today, so this report does not expire.
Genotyping was performed on DNA extracted from a buccal (cheek) swab using a genome-wide array. Results are derived from peer-reviewed genome-wide association data and, where applicable, published clinical guidelines. Each report was scored independently against its own reference set. Percentile figures describe where your result sits relative to a reference population.
This is a laboratory-developed test. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Genotyping does not detect all variants in the genes assessed; the absence of a flagged result does not exclude risk. Predisposition is probabilistic and is modified by environment, lifestyle, ancestry and family history. Results must be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional and must not be used alone to diagnose, treat, or alter any medication regimen. Marrow does not recommend, prescribe, or dose any supplement or medication.
