Nutrigenomics testing
What your genes say about you
Your genes tell
a story about you
Have you ever thought about what your genes say about you? Did you know that your genetic make-up does not necessarily mean you have no control of the outcome?
If you have ever felt like you’ve tried everything, but you remain stuck with a certain health concern – for example, an inability to lose weight – nutrigenomics can help to identify the missing pieces of the puzzle, and can be helpful in getting to the root of what stands in your way to optimal health.
Some of the questions that nutrigenomics testing might help with
HEART DISEASE
Do I have a higher risk for heart disease?
AGEING
How can I protect my brain from premature ageing?
TOXINS
Is my body getting rid of toxins effectively, or does it need help?
WEIGHT-LOSS
How effective is my body at losing weight and burning fat?
DIET
What kind of diet would be best for me?
BEING ACTIVE
What type of sport would I be best suited to, and what would my injury risk and recovery be?
What is nutrigenomics testing?
Scientists have identified that 99% of human genes are exactly the same, but 1% of our genetic make-up differs and makes each of us unique. Nutrigenomics looks at these differences and how they impact on the various functions of our bodies.
These differences have been described as “spelling changes”. They are not errors, but they do change our metabolic processes. The way these genes express themselves or behave, is called nutrigenomics. Some of our genes are switched on or off and some are even completely absent – this is referred to as a “deletion”.
Nutrigenomics is impacted by the food we eat, the lifestyles we live, the environmental factors we are exposed to, as well as stress. The behaviour of a gene can be changed by the choices we make in respect of diet, nutrients, stress management, exercise, and more. Therefore, we need to be able to understand our specific genetic profile in order to best support our bodies.
Therefore, if you have ever felt like you’ve tried everything, but you remain stuck with a certain health concern, nutrigenomics could help to identify the missing pieces of the puzzle and can be helpful in getting to the root of what stands in the way of optimal health.
