Nutrigenomics - DNA Diet
Nutrigenomics DNA Diet
Nutrigenomics-Diet provides information about the intricate relationship between genetics and diet, focusing on how individual genetic variations can influence the body’s response to specific nutrients and dietary patterns. By understanding an individual’s genetic profile, nutrigenomics aims to provide personalized dietary recommendations to optimize health and prevent or manage certain diseases.
Areas of Analysis Provided by this Test:- Absorption and Metabolism, Carbohydrate Responsiveness, Circadian Rhythms, Exercise Responsiveness, Fat Metabolism, Obesity and Satiety, Fat Storage, Inflammation Diet, Regulation of Energy Intake, Regulation of Metabolism and Feeding Behavior. Weight Management Diet and Exercise Plan provided.
Please Note: Nutrigenomics tests are only available through your healthcare provider.

Test Details
Genetic Variations and Macronutrient Metabolism: Genetic variations can influence how individuals metabolize and respond to macronutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. For example, certain genetic variants may affect carbohydrate metabolism and increase the risk of developing insulin resistance. Nutrigenomics can identify these genetic variations and suggest personalized macronutrient ratios to support optimal metabolism.
Nutrient Requirements and Genetic Variations: Nutrigenomics can shed light on an individual’s unique nutrient requirements based on genetic variations. For instance, some people may have genetic variations that affect their ability to convert certain nutrients into their active forms. By understanding these variations, personalized recommendations can be made to ensure sufficient intake of specific nutrients like folate, vitamin D, or omega-3 fatty acids.
Food Sensitivities and Intolerances: Genetic variations can play a role in food sensitivities and intolerances. Nutrigenomics can identify genetic markers associated with lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or other dietary sensitivities. This information can guide individuals in making appropriate dietary choices and potentially avoid discomfort or adverse reactions.
Antioxidant Capacity and Detoxification: Genetic variations can influence an individual’s antioxidant capacity and detoxification processes. Nutrigenomics can identify genetic variants associated with reduced antioxidant activity or impaired detoxification pathways. This information can guide dietary choices to include antioxidant-rich foods and support optimal detoxification processes.
Inflammation and Genetic Variations: Chronic inflammation is linked to various health conditions. Nutrigenomics can identify genetic variations that influence inflammation markers and response to dietary factors. By understanding these genetic variations, personalized dietary recommendations can be made to manage or reduce inflammation and support overall health.
