Knowing our genetic makeup will offer us a map we can use to heal ourselves.
Nutrigenomics is the ultimate tool for bio-individual health. It is not a temporary diet—it’s a precise way of living perfectly aligned with your unique genetic code. By understanding your DNA, we move beyond generalized advice to create truly customized solutions.
It is important to understand how our diet and lifestyle influence the functioning of our genome, and at the same time, it is essential to understand how the genetic variation is influencing our response to food.
Two terms to remember are nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics.
- Nutrigenomics studies the effect of foods and nutrients on the expression of the genes.
- Nutrigenetics studies the effect of our genetic make-up, our gene variations, and polymorphisms on the way the nutrients are being absorbed, metabolized, and bio-assimilated.
Note: Nutrigenomics testing is integrated into our Functional Medicine and Brain Health care packages, providing a foundational layer of personalized data.
Decoding your Genetic Blueprint
Your genes are not your destiny, but they are a powerful map. Our genetic code contains variations (SNPs) that impact everything from nutrient absorption to your detoxification ability and hormonal balance. We use advanced testing to discover your body’s unique strengths and weak points at the deepest cellular level.
What we optimize through genetic testing: Nutrigenomics allows us to optimize your health by looking at the impact of gene variations on critical biological pathways:
- Cellular Function: Detoxification, Methylation, and Oxidative Stress.
- Metabolism: Lipid metabolism, Insulin response, and appetite control.
- System Health: Hormone balance, Brain health, and Gut microbiome function, Nervous system health.
- Dietary Needs: Personalized vitamin/mineral requirements and Food sensitivities.
Our Partner Labs: Double the Precision
We partner with two industry leaders, Lifecode Gx and DNA Life, ensuring comprehensive analysis and targeted, evidence-based recommendations.
Lifecode Gx Reports
Focused on your core cellular functions and complex system pathways. We can discover the way your body functions and why things happened how they happened by looking at the impact of gene variations on your body’s essential biological pathways, like:
- Detoxification
- Methylation
- Lipid metabolism
- Oxidative stress and inflammation
- Insulin resistance
- Nutrient bio-assimilation
- Food allergies and intolerances
- Micronutrient metabolisms
- Hormone health
- Brain health
- Metals and minerals
Specialized DNA life Panels
Focused on connecting genetics to metabolic machinery and specific systems. These panels analyse your genetic makeup to provide personalized strategies for wellness and disease mitigation:
- DNA Health: Investigates genes for inflammation, oxidative stress, detoxification, and lipid metabolism. Results personalize your nutrient and antioxidant intake for long-term health.
- DNA Diet: Analyses genetics related to appetite and fat storage to determine your most effective weight management strategy (low-carb, low-fat, or balanced).
- DNA Sport: Evaluates genes for power vs. endurance potential, injury risk, and exercise recovery efficiency to optimize physical performance.
- DNA Mind: Assesses genetic variants involved in neurotransmitter pathways, mood regulation, and the stress response for insights into emotional and cognitive health.
- DNA Hormones: Analyses genes governing the production and detoxification of sex hormones (like estrogen) to manage hormonal imbalances (e.g., PMS, perimenopause).
- DNA Gut: Reports on variations affecting gut barrier integrity (leaky gut), motility, and the gut-brain axis. Provides a personalized plan to improve digestive health.
- DNA Smile: Evaluates genetic risk for periodontal disease and caries (decay), linking oral health risks to systemic factors like inflammation and cardiovascular disease risk.
Next Steps: We will recommend the specific test panel that best aligns with the goals of your Functional Medicine or Brain Health package during your initial consultation. Our Functional Medicine and Brain Health packages include the expert interpretation of nutrigenomics tests, ensuring your care is genetically tailored. (Please note: The cost of the test itself is separate and is not included in the package cost.)
