Ian Paskon
Founder & CEO
I grew up in the Midwest USA, moved to Thailand, and spent the last decade working in medical tourism watching people spend serious money on treatments that were never designed for their specific biology. That bothered me enough to build something different.
FRESH GENETIQ runs on one idea: your DNA is the most accurate health data you will ever have access to. I hold certifications from Stanford University School of Medicine (Department of Genetics) and earned my Nutrigenomics Master Practitioner certification through Lifecode Gx in London. The work is straightforward: take your raw genetic data, make sense of it, and build a health plan that is actually yours.

Precision Health & Genetic Strategy Insights
Medicine Is Shifting From Science to Engineering by Raw DNA Data
For most of human history, medicine has followed the scientific method.
A patient presents symptoms.
A clinician forms a hypothesis.
A treatment is tested.
Weeks pass.
Results are evaluated.
Adjustments are made.
This approach has saved lives, but it is also inherently slow, reactive, and based on trial and error.
Today, for the first time in history, medicine is beginning to change.
It’s moving away from pure experimentation — and toward engineering.
That shift has major implications for preventive health, mental health, and how we make decisions before problems escalate.
If You Understand Methylation, You Understand Genetics
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Genetic methylation turns genes on and off.”
It sounds important — but it’s rarely explained in a way that actually makes sense.
So let’s simplify what methylation really is, why it matters, and why understanding it gives you a much clearer picture of how your genetics actually function in real life.
Proteins vs Peptides: How DNA Explains the Difference
Most people assume proteins and peptides are basically the same thing.
And in a way, they are.
Both proteins and peptides are made from amino acids.
But the difference between them — and why that difference matters — comes down to structure, size, and function.
More importantly, both proteins and peptides start from the same place: your DNA.
DNA Testing Isn’t About Your Past — It’s the Blueprint for Your Future
When most people hear DNA testing, they immediately think of ancestry.
Questions like “Where am I from?” or “Am I 2% Neanderthal?” tend to dominate the conversation.
But that’s a very limited view of what genetics actually offers.
Modern genetic testing isn’t about your past.
It’s about understanding the biological foundation that shapes your future.
Your DNA is the instruction manual your body has been following since birth — and learning how to read it properly can change how you approach nutrition, lifestyle, recovery, and long-term health decisions.
Metabolism Is More Than Weight – How Genetics Dictate Your Shape
When most people hear the word metabolism, they immediately think about weight.
Why they gain fat easily. Why someone else stays skinny. Why certain diets work for some people and fail for others.
But that’s an incomplete — and misleading — understanding of metabolism.
Metabolism isn’t just about body weight or calories.
It’s the underlying system that determines how your body creates energy, builds tissues, clears waste, and maintains balance across nearly every function in your body.
In reality, metabolism is doing far more than most people realize.
Mitochondrial DNA: Function Over Ancestry
Most people think of DNA as something you inherit from both your mother and your father.
And that’s true — for most of your DNA.
But there’s a small, powerful part of your genetics that works differently.
It’s called mitochondrial DNA, and it plays a direct role in how your cells create energy.
The Difference Between PRP and Stem Cell Therapy
Ever wondered about the buzz surrounding PRP in regenerative medicine? Dive in deep with us as we demystify Platelet-Rich Plasma, distinguishing PRP from stem cell therapy and highlighting its powerful role in tissue repair. Discover the magic within our own blood and how it’s revolutionizing treatment.
Stem Cell Therapy for Chronic Kidney Disease
The kidneys, often underestimated in their significance, are pivotal in maintaining our body’s equilibrium. They act as vigilant guardians, purifying our blood and regulating essential functions. Explore with us into the promising realm of stem cell therapy for chronic kidney disease (CKD).
How Stem Cells Work In Therapy
Stem cells are the foundation of life as we know it! Let’s explore stem cells from their creation until their therapeutic usage.
Join us as we explore how stem cells are created, function and the exciting possibilities of mesenchymal stem cell therapy!
How NAD+ Works In Energy Production
As we age, the amount of energy produced by the mitochondria starts to decline. So how can we rejuvenate this process and produce more energy as we age?
Let’s see how NAD+ can help and let’s uncover the intricate journey of NAD+ as it interacts with nutrients, leading to the production of ATP energy.
