Our Dedication to Guest Experience and Health.
Epigenetics testing and hyperbaric oxygen treatments are the latest additions to the already comprehensive and personalised approach to optimal health offered by the leading Chiva-Som Hua Hin, Thailand, wellness resort.
While hyperbaric oxygen therapies promote optimal health by increasing blood-oxygen levels, healing, and lifespan, epigenetics testing hyperpersonalizes consultations and retreats even further.
After genetic testing and bone density analysis were introduced not long ago, two more services have been added. In July, Chiva-Som will continue its commitment to helping all visitors on their transforming wellness journeys by launching sleep health services.
Chiva-Som Epigenetic Doctor Consultation
Experts at Chiva-Som can now learn how environmental factors impact a person's DNA, thanks to the advent of epigenetic testing. Epigenetic testing is a branch of genetics that studies the modulatory effects of environmental and lifestyle variables on gene expression. These factors include, but are not limited to, food, exercise, living conditions, and mental and emotional well-being. In contrast to genomics testing, which focuses solely on an individual's genetic makeup and any potential health risks associated with it, epigenetics examines the environmental variables that regulate gene expression. Conditions including diabetes, mental illness, and cardiovascular disease can develop when specific genes are either under- or over-activated in response to environmental factors.
Changes in DNA methylation patterns that occur with ageing might throw off the body's ability to regulate gene expression. By analysing a person's epigenetic makeup, we may learn their biological age (as opposed to their chronological age) and provide them with personalised recommendations for healthy eating and regular exercise to halt the ageing process.
Epigenetic testing can assist in reducing long-term health issues and the risk of chronic disease by revealing the ways in which an individual's environment influences their DNA. It can also explain gene regulation and offer risk assessments for various diseases. Additionally, epigenetics tests may be performed at regular intervals to track the evolution of genes' activities, revealing environmental areas that need improvement or further investigation.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is now part of Chiva-Som's comprehensive treatment and service offering, which will help visitors achieve maximum wellbeing and longevity. This integration took place this month.
Improved cognitive function, reduced inflammation, shorter sports recovery times, and longer life expectancy are just a few of the many health benefits that can be achieved through a series of HBOT sessions, which involve breathing in pure oxygen in a pressurised, controlled environment. When included in a holistic strategy for health and wellness, HBOT's ability to increase blood oxygen levels and improve circulation supports several bodily processes, such as healing and energy generation, while simultaneously decreasing weariness.
On the additions of epigenetic testing and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Chanyapak Suwankantha, Wellness Director at Chiva-Som Hua Hin, comments, "We've always been dedicated to guiding our guests through transformative wellness journeys that provide sustainable wellbeing benefits and habits, long beyond their stay at Chiva-Som. We're thrilled to be adding a range of additional services and treatments to our already extensive offering, ensuring we continue our dedication to guest experience and health.”
“With the introduction of Epigenetics, which can be complemented by our genomics testing, we can truly tailor programmes, retreats, and advice to how an individual's genes are affected by their environment, elevating our personalised approach. The new Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy brings another dimension to retreats for those seeking to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and pursue a healthier lifestyle.”
