Nutrigenomics - Nutritional Gene Testing
What is Nutritional Gene Testing?
Nutrigenomics is the study of the effects of food, food constituents and lifestyle on gene expression. It looks at how genetic variations can affect nutritional outcomes in individuals that can impact and influence the development of chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, thyroid function, estrogen dominance and to a great extent fertility and vitamin status in the body.
It has taken over 5 years to find a company that can do this sort of testing well and provide a comprehensive report that as action steps that can be implemented through diet and lifestyle changes.
Part of the Ultimate Wellness Packages is to incorporate this testing to deep dive into a persons health by understanding the genes that can be influenced in their environment (this is termed epigenetics).
