The genetic Nutrition Analysis Panel provides the blueprint for optimizing your health, a customized nutritional program and specific lifestyle recommendations based on your unique genetic makeup. The panel examines 19 genes that play major roles in your body's detoxification capacity, antioxidant capacity, heart health, bone health, insulin sensitivity, and tissue repair. We combine this genetic information with information from a lifestyle questionnaire to provide personalized, realistic modifications that you can make to maintain good health.

Why is a personalized diet important?

We all know our health is influenced by what we eat, drink and other well-known lifestyle choices that we make. The latest scientific research now shows that for each of us these choices can have greatly differing effects on our health.

Small differences in your genes can influence how well your body metabolizes foods, utilizes nutrients and excretes damaging toxins, all of which can affect your general state of health. By finding out if you have any of these small variations, you can modify your diet and lifestyle choices to achieve optimum nutrition and health.

For example, if some of your genes place you at risk for heart disease, modifying your diet and exercise habits now will decrease the chance of the disease developing. If your body isn't efficient with B vitamins, an important factor in skin renewal, a modified diet or daily supplement can provide you with the proper amount for healthy skin.

How do we get your results?

Analyzing your genes does not involve a blood test or any other painful or invasive procedure. It starts with a DNA sample, which you collect at home by rubbing the inside of your cheek with the set of swabs included in the kit (please read the instructions carefully to make sure you collect the sample correctly). You then mail us the sample, together with a completed questionnaire about your daily eating and lifestyle habits.

Please note: your DNA sample and the genetic information it reveals are kept strictly confidential.

Three to four weeks after we receive the questionnaire and the DNA sample, you will get a personal report that evaluates your current lifestyle according to the results of the DNA analysis. Our recommendations offer practical, effective and proven ways to improve your short- and long-term health, help prevent illness, and above all – help you feel better.

What do you get?

Your report will contain:

·         Your genetic profile

·         A specific nutritional supplement formula based on your genetic makeup

·         Personal diet and lifestyle advice

·         Information on genes, nutrition and health

·         A guide to vitamins and minerals

·         A resource directory

·         Answers to frequently asked questions

·         Definitions of key terms

The advice you will get from us is based on your body’s real needs, not on the latest dietary fad. In addition to alerting you to diet and lifestyle factors to which you should pay particular attention, we provide you with personalized suggestions for nutritional supplementation that will enhance your health and well-being.

Our DNA screening procedure provides you with concrete information about the following seven areas in which the link between gene variations and lifestyle has been scientifically established:

·         Heart Health Some genetic factors make it more likely that certain individuals will develop heart disease. We offer these people simple advice to help reduce the risk.

·         B Vitamin Use Some people have genetic variations that interfere with the way their bodies use B vitamins, an important factor in cell growth and maintenance.

·         Detoxification Genes can determine how well your body cleanses itself of harmful toxins. If necessary, we recommend specific foods to give your cleansing systems a healthy boost.

·         Antioxidants A genetically determined level of antioxidants controls how well our bodies neutralize free radicals, destructive molecules involved in aging and a variety of diseases.

·         Bone Health Certain genetic factors indicate a need for foods that provide your bones with the nutrients they require to stay strong.

·         Inflammation Depending on your genetic profile, you may need certain foods to fight damaging inflammation.

·         Insulin Sensitivity If your genes increase your risk of insulin sensitivity, we will recommend dietary and lifestyle changes that help prevent this condition.

Now it’s up to you

As with any advice it is entirely up to you how you act on it. Our recommendations are practical, effective and proven ways in which to improve your short and long-term health, help prevent illness, and above all feel better.
