What is Nutrigenomics?

Can you imagine a world without disease? We can! Nutrigenomics is the study of how diet modulates gene expression, and how individual genetic differences affect the way our bodies respond to vitamins, minerals, compounds, and even the foods we eat. Your genetic code is unique, and individual to you. Our nutrigenomic experts will help you understand your unique genetic blueprint by explaining your specific genetic strengths and weaknesses, and will also help you make lifestyle improvements, to address weaknesses in the design. One example of how genetic differences can affect us is the gene “MTHFR”. A mutation of the gene MTHFR limits the body’s ability to process vitamin B12, leading to vitamin B12 deficiency, and therefore lower energy levels. If your genetic test results showed an MTHFR gene mutation (present in around 20% of the population), then you should supplement your diet with methylated B12, for example. By understanding these unique mutations in your genome, we’re able to help you live a lifestyle of optimal health and wellness. Amazingly, how we live can even influence the genes we pass on to our children, affecting multiple future generations, through a phenomena known as epigenetics.

You are extremely unique, and our goal is to empower you to take control of your health with our state-of-the-art lab (CLIA and CAP certified), our proprietary DNA testing, our physicians analysis of your unique genome, and our evidence-based lifestyle recommendations.

Our Nutrition Genome software utilizes decades of clinical nutrition practice and published research, to help illuminate the root cause of disease, and the most effective way to approach it. We simply offer the most comprehensive genetic analysis available on the market today.
