Imagine a lightbulb…
with a flick of a finger, you can turn the power “ON” or “OFF” (or in the case of a dimmer switch you can adjust the intensity of the bulb “UP” or “DOWN”) resulting in more or less light. Similarly, when we look at your DNA, we can use epigenetic “switches”, such as diet and lifestyle cues, to adjust the expression of your genes. With your personalized nutrigenomics report in hand, we can create a powerful framework for your best long-term health, based on your unique genes. The goal is to help you understand exactly what your body needs to thrive so that you're empowered to optimize your health - one meal, one lifestyle choice, and one day at a time.
HOW DOES A NUTRIGENOMICS TEST WORK?
First, we'll do a test specifically looking at genes that have a clear connection to diet and lifestyle. There are no needles and no invasive procedures. Your DNA is collected from a saliva sample, then sent off to the lab for evaluation. When your results are ready, you'll learn how your body is wired to thrive. You’ll receive an in-depth report detailing how to use diet and lifestyle choices to support the genetics you were born with, you'll also receive one-on-one guidance and support to make sense of it all and put everything into practice. It's important to understand that we are not trying to change your genes, but rather we'll work with the genetic hand you've been dealt to support any systems in your body where your genes aren't set up to operate efficiently. We'll use diet and lifestyle as powerful tools to provide the support your body needs so that you can make the most of your good genes, and work around any challenges.
