Genetic Testing

Unlock Your DNA for Personalized Health

There’s a powerful connection between your genes, nutrition, and overall health. Nutrigenomics is the science that explores how your genetic blueprint interacts with food, shaping your metabolism, nutrient absorption, and even disease risk.

By analyzing your DNA, we can uncover personalized insights that help fine-tune your nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle for optimal health.

What is Nutrigenomics

Nutrigenomics (nutritional genomics) is the study of how genes influence your response to food and how diet affects gene expression. This field provides a scientific foundation for personalized nutrition, helping individuals:

Understand their body’s ability to absorb and use nutrients
Identify metabolic tendencies and weight management factors
Discover genetic predispositions for chronic diseases
Optimize detoxification, energy production, and cardiovascular health

By leveraging nutrigenomics, we can develop precise dietary and lifestyle strategies tailored to your genetic needs.

How Genetic Testing Works

The human body contains thousands of genetic variations (SNPs – Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) that impact metabolism, immune function, and overall wellness.

With genetic testing, we can analyze these variations and determine how they influence:

Vitamin & mineral absorption (e.g., B vitamins, magnesium, omega-3s)
Detoxification pathways (e.g., how efficiently your body eliminates toxins)
Glucose metabolism (e.g., insulin sensitivity, blood sugar regulation)
Fat storage & weight management (e.g., genetic tendencies for cravings)
Cognitive function & memory (e.g., brain health & focus optimization)
Immune system performance (e.g., susceptibility to inflammation & infections)
Cardiovascular health (e.g., cholesterol regulation, blood pressure)
Gut health & digestion (e.g., predisposition to food intolerances)

? Why is this important?
By identifying genetic strengths and weaknesses, we can prevent health issues before they arise and create a highly personalized nutrition & lifestyle plan.

How We Conduct Genetic Testing

For all Nutrigenomic analysis we mainly use Puregenomics, a 100% science-based, practitioner-only platform to analyze your existing DNA data.

How to get started:

If you have already taken a 23andMe or Ancestry DNA test, we can analyze your raw data to generate a personalized health report.
The Nutrigenomic Analysis is included in follow-up sessions (not a standalone service).

FAQs: Common Questions on Genetic Testing

What are Traits?

Traits are specific characteristics like eye color, blood type, or the ability to tolerate lactose that are based on an individual’s unique genetic variations (SNPs), as well as environmental factors.

What are SNP’s?

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a DNA sequence variation occurring when a single nucleotide – A, T, C, or G – in the genome differs between members of a species or between paired chromosomes in an individual. Almost all common SNPs (pronounced “snips”) have only two alleles. These genetic variations underlie differences in our susceptibility to, or protection from, several diseases. Variations in the DNA sequences of humans can affect how humans develop diseases. For example, a single base difference in the genes coding for apolipoprotein E is associated with a higher risk for Alzheimer’s disease. SNPs are also manifestations of genetic variations in the severity of illness, the way our body responds to treatments, and the individual response to pathogens, chemicals, drugs, vaccines, and other agents. They are thought to be key factors in applying the concept of personalized medicine.

What is the cost of a Nutrigenomic analysis?

A Nutrigenomic Analysis could be part of any of your Follow-up sessions with our team and it is not provided as a standalone service. It is a prerequisite to have already done a 23andMe or Ancestry DNA test, in order to run your nutrigenomics analysis.

Why should I do a Nutrigenomic analysis?

A Nutrigenomic analysis can give us details about your body’s tendencies and functions deep from its core, the DNA. It is a nice addon to further optimize and personalize your nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle according to your deeper biochemical needs.
