Unlock Your Genetic Blueprint: Personalized Health Prevention with Advanced Genetic Analysis

What if you could discover your body’s unique strengths and vulnerabilities before disease develops?

At The Connecticut Center for Natural Health, we are excited to offer an innovative approach to preventive healthcare through advanced genetic analysis. By partnering with Dr. Kendall Reed and utilizing the GeneRx™ interpretation platform, we can better understand how your unique genetic makeup may influence your health, allowing us to develop highly personalized wellness strategies.

Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny

Many people believe that having a “bad gene” means they are destined to develop disease. Fortunately, that is not how genetics works.

Your genes provide a blueprint—not a guarantee. While certain genetic variations may increase or decrease your susceptibility to specific health conditions, lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and targeted nutritional support all play important roles in determining how those genes are expressed.

This concept is known as epigenetics—the science of influencing gene expression through healthy lifestyle choices.

Our goal is to help you optimize the factors that you can control.

What Can Genetic Analysis Tell Us?

Your DNA contains valuable information about how your body functions. Depending on your genetic profile, we may identify areas where you could benefit from personalized recommendations related to:

Inflammation and immune function
Cardiovascular health
Detoxification pathways
Nutrient metabolism
Vitamin and mineral requirements
Methylation pathways
Hormone metabolism
Oxidative stress
Energy production and mitochondrial function
Bone health
Brain and cognitive wellness
Healthy aging
Exercise response and recovery
Weight management
Sleep and circadian rhythms

Rather than using a “one-size-fits-all” approach, your health plan is tailored to your individual biology.

Precision Nutrition

Have you ever wondered why one person thrives on a particular diet while another does not?

Genetic analysis may help explain individual differences in:

Fat metabolism
Carbohydrate tolerance
Protein needs
Caffeine sensitivity
Salt sensitivity
Omega-3 utilization
Folate metabolism
Vitamin D metabolism

These insights can help guide more personalized nutritional recommendations.

Personalized Supplement Recommendations

Many people spend hundreds of dollars each year on supplements without knowing whether they are truly appropriate for their bodies.

Your genetic profile can help us make more informed decisions about nutritional support by identifying pathways that may benefit from targeted nutrients. While genetics is only one part of the picture, combining it with your health history, laboratory testing, and current symptoms allows us to develop a more individualized supplement plan.

Early Prevention

One of the greatest advantages of genetic analysis is the opportunity to focus on prevention.

Even if you feel healthy today, your genetics may highlight biological pathways that deserve closer attention over time. This information can help us prioritize lifestyle changes and screening strategies aimed at supporting long-term health.

Instead of simply reacting to illness, we strive to help you stay healthier for longer.

Genetics Is Only One Piece of the Puzzle

We do not treat genetic reports in isolation.

Every genetic consultation includes consideration of:

Your personal medical history
Family history
Current symptoms
Laboratory findings
Lifestyle factors
Nutrition
Environmental exposures
Current medications and supplements

The combination of genetics with comprehensive clinical evaluation provides a more complete picture of your health.

Who Can Benefit?

Genetic analysis may be especially valuable for individuals who:

Have a family history of chronic disease
Want a personalized prevention plan
Are interested in healthy aging
Experience chronic fatigue or unexplained symptoms
Have autoimmune conditions
Want guidance on nutrition and supplements
Are motivated to optimize long-term health
Prefer a proactive rather than reactive approach to healthcare

What to Expect

Your evaluation includes:

Review of your genetic analysis
Comprehensive interpretation of clinically relevant findings
Integration with your medical history and laboratory testing
Personalized nutrition recommendations
Lifestyle recommendations
Targeted supplement guidance
A practical action plan designed specifically for you

Our goal is not simply to explain your genetics—but to help you use that information in a meaningful and practical way.

Take Charge of Your Future Health

Imagine having a roadmap that helps you make more informed decisions about your nutrition, exercise, supplements, and overall wellness.

While no genetic test can predict the future with certainty, understanding your genetic tendencies can provide valuable information that supports smarter, more personalized health decisions.

If you’re ready to take a proactive approach to your health, we invite you to schedule a Personalized Genetic Wellness Consultation at The Connecticut Center for Natural Health.

Your DNA is your blueprint. Together, we can use that information to help you build your healthiest future.

I can't say enough good things about CT Center for Natural Health, specifically Dr. Keli Samuelson. I made an appointment when I was not getting support from my PCP or other doctors about my symptoms, and was feeling like I would never get to the bottom of it. I saw Dr. Samuelson and she ordered extremely comprehensive bloodwork, met with me when the results came in and created a plan for me that has truly made a night and day difference in how I feel. Would strongly recommend for anyone who is feeling like they will never get to the bottom of their symptoms, or want to manage them in a more holistic way. 10/10 helped me turn my health around!
Jennifer DubickiAcupuncturistI started seeing Jennifer a few years ago for multiple reasons but mostly neck pain and perimenopause symptoms. Over the course of the time I have been working with Jennifer, she has helped me multiple times for different symptoms and has gone above and beyond to assist my body back to balance.She is a no-frills, honest professional and has your best interest at hand. She truly has a gift with her acupuncture and nutritional guidance.As a physical therapist, I would highly recommend her to not only my friends, but family and anyone in need acupuncture as well as general health and wellness
I have been seeing Dr. Kane for several years and have had so many health issues resolved! He is excellent! He always has helpful advice and is up on all holistic treatments that are helpful for whatever the issue is. It's great to have a place to go where the treatments recommended are so effective with no side effects. I also see Jen Dubicki for acupuncture and she is also excellent at what she does. She has treated me for neck issues, stress, and other problems and the treatment is always very effective. Everyone at CT Center for Natural Health is great and the office staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend going there for treatment!
I’ve been with Jen for about it five years now and she does an excellent job. She has helped with my TMJ, severe knots in my neck and shoulders, swollen knees and she helped with my carpal tunnel- one wrist is back to normal now which is important for my cleaning business! I recommend her to everyone I know and after 5 years I refuse to let anyone else near me with needles!
I was there this past summer. And been enjoying the benefits of the information I garnered ever since.
Dr. Samuelson is fantastic. She explains thoroughly and in terms easy to understand. She put me on a regimen of supplements increasing my bone density by 14%, which negated my osteoporosis diagnosis. Also helped me with my acid reflux and post-menopausal issues.
I have been a patient here since 2001! My most intense experience began after routine bloodwork showed liver numbers indicating a possibility of many scary diagnoses. This led down the pathway of testing for all kinds of things, rather than treating the imbalance my liver was presenting. Dr. Kane listened to my situation and looked at all my bloodwork and literally walked me next door to Jenn who treated ME, from day 1. Jenn LISTENS, which is great but honestly she can treat me without a lot of input, she just knows how to get the bodily functions in balance thru acupuncture and Chinese herbal meds that are high quality and very well resourced and not expensive.My medical doctor, supposedly the chief liver doc, laughed at me when I told him that I thought my liver numbers went back to normal due to acupuncture and complementary herbal meds! I’m an even better health than I was previous to my liver issues because Jenn treats me and my entire system. I’m so grateful to Dr Kane and his practice and his decision to refer me to Jenn. I have recommended this practice to numerous friends.
I see Jen for Shockwave and Accupuncture. In the time that I’ve been seeing her, an old injury has made great improvements through Shockwave and Accupuncture. Additionally, she treats “anything that ails me” with Accupuncture. She knows, before I tell her, what might be “wrong” that day and treats all the things, like respiratory and digestive problems. She also has cured my lower back pain, my tight hamstrings, and sometimes gives me an accupuncture facial! Try it; you’ll like it!
Dr. Keli Samuelson at the Connecticut Center for Natural Health is an amazing practitioner. She has decades of experience and a wealth of knowledge about health and healing using natural methods.I have been referring patients from my practice to Dr. Samuelson for over 10 years and she always takes great care of them. Her devotion to her patients is admirable and she truly is a wonderful doctor.
The doctors at this practice are beyond knowledgeable and truly care about the health and well being of their patients. On multiple occasions they have caught something my primary care has missed. They are such a wealth of knowledge.The office is also so clean and enjoyable to be in. All staff members are friendly and kind. Plus the onsite pharmacy makes it so easy and makes being a healthier individual so accessible.
I cannot recommend Jennifer Dubicki highly enough for acupuncture. She is truly a gifted healer—incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely compassionate. From the very first session, I felt heard and cared for. She takes the time to understand my health concerns, explains her approach, and creates a calm, safe, and welcoming environment. I’ve seen amazing results, and recommend my friends, my family and clients here.I have seen many different acupuncturists over the years and Jen is by FAR the best I've been to. I started seeing her years ago at another place she worked at. I followed her to Ct Center for Natural Health, which is a great place with caring and knowledgeable naturopaths as well. I've been a massage therapist for over 20 years and with Jen's help she has kept me going strong !So if you are looking for top-tier care, look no further!"
For many years I have gone to several different alternative treatment centers across CT. All of my experiences were positive but by far the best center I have been too is The CT. CENTER FOR NATURAL HEALTH. I have been Dr. Jens patient for many years. She has always been professional personable and highly knowledgeable in many different treatments. There is nothing that she doesn't know about. She has helped me tremendously to recover from chronic injury and illness. I would highly recommend Dr. Jen and TCCFNH to anyone seeking alternative health care.
I have been a patient of Jen’s for over 2 years. When I first came to see her, my body felt completely broken, I had been failed by the Western Medicine System, and have had medical trauma because of my illness not making me LOOK sick.I remember when she first sat down with me at my initial consult and asked what was going on. The way that she validated everything that I said, after being dismissed for so long, I just remember sobbing because I just felt for once I was actually listened to and she actually GOT what was going on.I am SO grateful that my doctor referred me to this practice and that I ended up seeing Jen. My pain level has gone down so significantly, all the medications I was taking don’t even come close to the relief I get from Jen’s treatments. She has also helped me with finding the right Chinese herbs, and they are actually affordable! I believe I only pay $40/month for both of the supplements.If you are dealing with chronic pain, see Jen! She is absolutely incredible at what she does. I had acupuncture several times before with another acupuncturist and it honestly did not help…Jen uses more needles which equals more pain relief, and longer lasting relief, and it does not hurt one bit! She also does cupping, which helps so much. And then sitting with the heat light on you when the needles are in…listening to soft relaxing music in the dark…it feels like a vacation! She is super gentle. She is also incredibly validating of what is going on with me, and personally she is a very warm, attentive, and supportive e person. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Cannot give her high enough recommendations!
My family started coming to see Dr Kane and found great success in healing ourselves holistically. Myself, I was able to reverse my thyroid issues and my husband lower cholesterol and BP. The shining star of this establishment is their acupuncturist Jen! She is absolutely amazing and has cured our daughter’s epilepsy through expertise and care. I can’t say enough great things about her. We have been with Jen for over 2 years and I will follow her everywhere she goes!
I have been seeing Jennifer Dubicki for acupuncture for about the last 8 months…and to say her treatments have been life-altering is an understatement. I have been to several Acupuncturists in the past, but none of them have come close to the relief and benefits I get from my sessions with Jen.She is so skilled in what she does, and she not only does pain management, as I originally started seeing her for my torn rotator cuff, but she has literally helped to rebalance my entire nervous system, I honestly don’t know WHERE I would be if it wasn’t for seeing her twice a week these last months. She has truly been a life-saver, and I cannot express my gratitude enough.It is rare to find an Accupuncturist who does body, mind, and soul, and really puts an emphasis on Mental Health. She is so kind and compassionate, she is non-judgmental, I immediately broke down during my first appointment and she was just so empathetic and kind that I immediately felt so comfortable and at ease. Coming in for my twice a week sessions quickly became the thing I look forward to the most in my week. I always come out feeling like a different person. Jen has literally saved me when nervous system was SO out of whack, I truly don’t know what I would have done without her help at that point, with all the stress I was going through. She focused on my nervous system and brought me from a 10 in intensity to a 4 in less than half an hour.I have given her card to my PCP and recommend Jen to everyone I know. She is so skilled and highly trained in the REAL form of traditional acupuncture. She is also incredibly knowledgeable about Chinese Herbs. Thank you Jen, for all the healing you have provided me! She is one of the few medical providers that has made me feel safe, cared for, and is truly non-judgmental. Thank you for the passion you put into every session Jen, I am so grateful for all your help and healing!
I cannot say enough great things about Connecticut Center for Natural Health. I have been seeing Jen for acupuncture and Dr. Kane for my doctor. They have both been so incredibly helpful in my healing journey and the knowledge that they have is outstanding. I deal with chronic pain as well as anxiety and depression at times and having acupuncture and cupping done with Jen has completely changed my life for the better. She’s so caring, thoughtful, understanding and truly wants to help people. I’ve never felt more care and concern than I do with her she truly makes you feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported. I can’t recommend her enough. I have gone to so many different doctors and physical therapists in my life as well as therapists and CT Center for Natural Health has helped me more than anyone ever has. I truly am so grateful that this place was recommended to me a few years ago, and I have been going ever since.Dr. Kane is so very thorough with his approach, and really gets to the core of what’s going on to heal the patient and not mask the issue, which I have seen so much over the years with other doctors. I truly don’t know what I would do if I didn’t go there. My health has gotten so much better including my mental health, as well as the chronic pain has dissipated so much over the span of me going there. I’m so grateful to Jen and Dr. Kane they truly prioritize your well-being, I highly recommend CT Center for Natural Health.
I am Local Guide for Google, for the amount of reviews I submit. And I take it seriously; and for that matter, I don't hand out 5-star reviews like candy from a Pez dispenser.With that being said, Connecticut Center for Natural Health is a hidden gem for naturopathy and specifically, acupuncture.Firstly, Dr. Michael Kane... he totally healed my daughter's gut through natural means; when conventional medicine wanted to prescribe Prilosec (bad for nutrition absorption). He is a healer... full stop.Dr. Samuelson helped a dear friend of ours, who was trying to conceive, get her nutrition/diet right; along with suggesting acupuncture. The result: they are expecting their first child. 😊But finally, and most importantly, we have had a tremendously-impactful, clinical relationship withAcupuncturist Dr. Jen Dubicki. She said to us at the beginning... "people come to me when they are out of options."Well, Dr. Jen has been the most efficacious "option" for our family of 6. For me, she helped re-work my gut and fight SIBO the natural way with a combo of acupuncture and supplements (which work!); and not $10k drugs.For my wife, she has helped her with several maladies - parasites, extreme peri-menopausal symptoms (which are excruciating) and with severe sciatic pain.For my kids, she partnered/tag-teamed with Dr. Kane on my daughter's temple gut (no glutton/dairy problem); and for the rest of my children, let me count the ways: helped them fight fever & disease with proper needling; ward off walking pneumonia (thru needling & supplements).Dr. Jen is almost like a PCP, which she was actually licensed as in Florida. She treats the whole body, literally... including Achilles pain/ligament stagnation, plus low-back issues (tightness/soreness/stiffness) with cupping.Put simply, Dr. Jen has been a Godsend for our family. Thank you for caring for our family so well.
I absolutely love this Center. I have been seeing Jen the accupuncturist for 2 years consistently every week and she has significantly improved a health concern for me through accupuncture and herbs. I cannot say enough about her knowledge and how effective in healing accupuncture has been for me. She is extremely concientious and focused on her client's needs. I only wish I had found Jen sooner. I have also seen both Dr. Kane and Dr. Samuelson for the last two years who work in conjuction with Jen as a team focused on your health concerns. I highly recommend this center and this approach to healthcare for everyone.
I was scheduled for gall bladder surgery due to gallstones. I immediately went to Dr. Kane, who suggested I mix two over-the-counter natural ingredients in warm water twice a day. Several days later, the nausea and discomfort disappeared. I informed my primary physician, and was sent for another imaging scan, which revealed NO gallstones! Thank you, Dr. Kane, for saving me from surgery!
Great place. Highly recommended
Everyone is great in this office, I highly recommend!
I've been seeing Dr Kelli Samuelson now for more than 6 months and I look forward to seeing her each time . She is kind, informative and knowledgeable in all things women's health and more . I am feeling so much better after identifying which vitamins I am deficient in and a few tricks for maintaining optimal health and wellness in your 50s ! She is a wealth of knowledge and working together with her and my GP, I've never felt better !
At 42 years old, I’ve never been to ANY doctor before takes their time like this to listen to all you’ve got going on with your health & actually CARES. I wish that naturopathic doctors were taken MORE serious than P.C.’s. Holistic has helped me the most. Thank you Doctor Kane for treating me like a human being that matters. I’m confident that you will be on my team towards getting me back to my optimal health!
Dr.Kane is the best naturopath,I saw him for many years,he taught me so much about healing my body through healthy ways and so wonderful to talk to about anything,I have moved out of state but I will always hold him in the highest regard…and thank him for being so kind
My family has been seeing Dr. Kane and Dr. Samuelson for the past 20 years. I became a patient at the CT Center for Health when I was a college student, since then they have assisted us (my husband and kids) through pregnancy, illness, surgery, mental health challenges, vitamin deficiencies, allergies and overall wellness. They are knowledgeable, communicative, understanding and unfailingly kind.It's rare to receive such undivided attention in our current healthcare system. When you step into the CT Center for Health you are treated as a whole person, not simply a series of symptoms. Whether you're facing a significant health challenge or simply looking to achieve more optimal health, Dr. Kane and Dr. Sam will do their best to get the full picture so they can provide you with the best care possible.Beyond their expertise, Dr. Kane and Dr. Sam are exceedingly exceptional human beings. In their office you're free to laugh, cry, joke and hope. They'll meet you wherever you are in your journey with honesty, intelligence, presence and a sense of humor. I can't recommend their practice enough!
Dr. Kane has always been extremely knowledgeable and tremendously helpful to me. His passion, commitment and dedication to helping and serving his customers is outstanding. He cares about and supports your health and well being the right way. He is a phenomenal naturopath resource for anyone interested in learning and improving their health and awareness!
My family has been taken care of for more than 20 years by these exceptional doctors, Keli Samuelson and Michael Kane. We have benefitted greatly from their knowledge of natural, harmless treatments for a wide variety of issues, and their approach is always kind and caring. We highly recommend this wonderful medical center.
Very helpful staff that has been great to consult throughout the years with a variety of my health concerns. I have been going here for years and have been assisted with a variety of health concerns. I would highly recommend their services.
Dr. Kane and his staff are incredibly caring and highly knowledgeable. Im living my best life thanks to Dr. Kane.
I have been going to Dr.Michael Kane for more than 10 years. He is incredible. He is such a caring person, he takes time to listen and understand. Recently he has helped me regain strength and mobility through dietary changes and supplements when I was diagnosed with an Autoimmune disease. Dr Kane also provides healthcare to my son and his family, and to my sister. They are also very fond of the quality of services received at the Ct Center for Natural Health
My family has found this practice to be supportive and caring. They take into account what's going on in your whole body and mind, not just one body part! We have been seeing Dr. Kane for decades.
The office is warm and welcoming. The time and education that Dr Kane takes is greatly appreciated. I never feel rushed or confused about what I need to do for my health choices and they are treated just that way….my choices. He sits with me to explain everything and walk me through any protocols that are needed. I wish all Dr’s would take the time to get to know their patients the way Dr Kane has gotten to know me and my family! Thank you Dr Kane for truly investing in us. We are a healthier family for it.
Dr. Kane is phenomenal. I started working with him several years ago. He helped me to boost my immune system. Now, I rarely get sick. His intervention was life changing for me.
I’m very happy to have found Dr. Kane at CT Center for Natural Health! He has helped a lot with identifying foods that trigger my ibs symptoms. I’ve taken the detox program twice which I found helpful both times. I take far less medication and feel better overall. Way less general anxiety and my ibs is now what I would consider manageable. My favorite thing about this practice is that it fits into my life. I don’t feel pressured to take a lot of supplements or to change in a way that doesn’t work for me. Dr. Mike provides resources and education, has given me many tips that I’ve been easily able to fit into my routines, but doesn’t criticize when I make not so healthy choices.
I first started going to the CT Center for Natural Health when I was in my 30ths and referred by my therapist and psychiatrist. Now I am retired, and my natural path reviews my blood work, supplements, and diet. I have moved on from receiving services from my therapist or psychiatrist, thank you CT Center For Natural Health for your ongoing care.
Since 2007, Dr. Kane and the CT Center for Natural Health has been a valuable part of my health care team. He is a great resource for for discussion of nutrition, exercise, fasting, and a detailed evaluation of blood test results. We have been using safe Vital Nutrients supplements to help with some conditions which otherwise might be treated by prescription medicines with unwelcome side effects. Thank you for being there!
I have been seeing Dr Kane for over ten years now and he is absolutely amazing!! He has helped me through an autonomic nervous system issue that is not easily diagnosed along with a multitude of stomach issues!! He helped my husband with gi issues as well and saw my young son. He spends time with you and does not rush you through any appointment. Besides being informative and knowledgeable he is also compassionate and caring. He has so many tips and information that help with all around health!!! Highly recommend!!!
I have been seeing Dr. Samuelson for about 20 years. She is excellent, thorough, patient and very insightful about my health issues and treatments. I highly recommend her and the Center. They are always kind and professional.
Our whole family doctors here. They have solved a number of problems that traditional Western medicine could not.
I've been going to Dr. Kane for over 10 years now. He was able to troubleshoot and diagnose issues that my primary care physician could not. He figures out what is causing symptoms rather then just treating them. I highly recommend Dr. Kane and this practice.
We love Dr Kane and CT center for health. He always explains everything in detail, does not rush during an appointment and definitely listens to every concern and symptom. Very knowledgeable in latest medical studies and is easily reached and anwers my emails in a timely manner.
We are so glad we found Dr. Kane! My husband suffered with stomach problems his entire life and has finally found relief. Our entire family including my parents have seen him as well. Very happy with our care and with our results.
