Nutrigenomics Overview

Nutrigenomics is the study of how our genes interact with our diet and lifestyle to influence health and disease. This emerging field focuses on understanding the relationship between nutrition, gene expression, and overall well-being. By examining genetic variations, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), nutrigenomics helps identify how individual genetic differences can affect nutrient metabolism, dietary needs, and responses to various foods.

This personalized approach allows for tailored dietary and lifestyle recommendations that can optimize health and prevent disease.

Importance of Nutrigenomics

The importance of nutrigenomics lies in its ability to provide personalized health insights based on an individual’s unique genetic makeup. Traditional dietary guidelines often adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not be effective for everyone due to genetic differences. By leveraging the principles of nutrigenomics, we can develop customized nutrition plans that address specific genetic predispositions, enhance nutrient absorption, and mitigate potential health risks.

This personalized approach not only improves dietary effectiveness but also empowers individuals to make informed lifestyle choices that support long-term health and wellness.

Who Should Be Tested?

Those individuals who wish to optimize and improve their diet, lifestyle, nutrient intake, environmental exposures, and much more. The test is designed to help offset genetic tendencies in metabolic pathways that are important to the function of our cells and bodies.

Terminology

• DNA and Genes: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that carries genetic information in your cells. Genes are specific segments of DNA that contain instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of your body.
• Alleles: An allele is a variant form of a gene, represented by different sequences of DNA bases (A, T, C, and G) at a specific location on a chromosome. These variations can result in different traits, such as eye color, and can be either dominant or recessive.
• SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms): SNPs are the most common type of genetic variation among individuals. Each SNP represents a variation in a single DNA building block, known as a nucleotide. These variations can influence how individuals respond to certain drugs, their susceptibility to environmental factors, and their risk of developing particular diseases.

These single nucleotide changes are called Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). These are not acquired genetic mutations but naturally occurring variants. These variants can have no influence to very profound influences on biological processes in the body. These natural variants are what we look at within this report to determine what lifestyle changes might be ideal for you. If you want to gain insight into your nutrition, fitness, and physiology, genetic test that looks at 180 SNPs giving us insights into – Food, Fitness, and Function!
