Live Healthy For Your DNA!

Learn what diet is right for your genetic make-up and make more personalized choices. Ever wonder why some people have poor eating habits and don’t gain weight while others starve themselves and struggle to lose weight? Like many medical conditions, excess weight is influenced by genetic and environmental factors.  

You want a healthy diet that helps you manage your weight. But which one is right for you? You have a unique genetic makeup that will vary in how it breaks down, absorbs and utilizes the foods you are eating. By learning your diet predispositions and food intolerances, you can avoid consuming food that is not ideal for your genetic type. Learn your genetic food sensitivities and the DNA diet right for you.

Diet Management 

• How your body burns fat, your sensitivity to carbohydrates, your cholesterol and blood sugar regulation, and your protein requirements to help determine your optimum diet. 

Weight Response

• Your body’s ability to control body mass index (BMI).

Food Tolerances

• Your tolerances to alcohol, caffeine, salt, lactose, gluten and sugar cravings.

Food Taste and Preferences

• Your preference for caffeine, carbohydrates, fats and protein. Your taste ability for bitter, salt, sweet tastes and smoking behaviour, which can lead to over or under consumption.

Vitamins and Supplements

• Your need for vitamins including vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D and vitamin E. Your need for Calcium, Iodine, Iron, Omega 3 and Omega 6 supplements to stay healthy.

The Diet DNA Testing will answer questions like:

• What type of macronutrients does my body need to thrive?
• Should my diet consist of more fats, carbohydrate or proteins?
• Should I avoid caffeine, alcohol, lactose and gluten?
• Am I more sensitive to salt and sugar in my diet?
• Can I convert the vitamins I get through food to the active form my body needs?
• How can I support my body through supplementation?

What can DNA testing for fitness and exercise do for you?

Did you know that some of us need more time in between workouts to properly recover? Some of us are more prone to tendon injuries such as a torn ACL. Some of us are predisposed to stroke and cardiovascular disease which makes exercise even more critical. Find out if you have risks. Use this information to make your workouts count and get better, faster exercise results. 

Your health is affected by important functions related to hormones, detoxification, inflammation and methylation. They can affect your mood, energy, cells and health. Your DNA test results provide a snapshot of how your body is predisposed to work in these areas. These are hidden areas that can affect your health and contribute to chronic disease. By learning your profile, you can take proactive steps to enhance your wellbeing.

Nothing is more important than our mental well being. Some people may be at higher risk for chemical triggers or injury. Knowing where you have genetic weaknesses can allow you to proactively support your mental health through diet and lifestyle changes.

•  Learn how effectively your immune system fights inflammation, infection, and tumors. 
•  Understand how your body biosynthesizes, metabolizes and eliminates estrogens.
• Could your mood and health problems be caused by poor methylation?  
• Are your cells functioning at their optimal level?
• Your normal genetic risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease.
