What works for others doesn’t work for me!

Why is it that you feel like you have tried everything and nothing seems to change?

There is no one-size-fits-all with health!

Genetic Testing – Nutrigenomics  …….Personalising your health care for optimum health.

Before you jump in, it is important to differentiate between the companies that are doing valid testing (those like the ancestry type are really just collating information for insurance companies and the like).   Please check with your preferred Medical practitioner who specializes in nutrigenetics first as this can be a costly error.

This testing is a great tool for the treatment of any health condition, and yes I have had mine done so that I could gain my optimum health.

Nutrigenetics is essentially the hand we have been dealt, nutrigenomics determines the expression of the genes and the outcomes we achieve.

We cannot change the genes, but we absolutely change the expression and our destiny.

We do this through analysing choices and goals: changes to our diet and lifestyle using nutrigenomics and current outcomes as our guide.

Nutrigenomics is about personalising your health care to help you attain your health goals and not just to increase life expectancy but also to age healthily.

What can we learn?

Through the testing and analysis we will identify which genes have variations that may be affecting how your body functions and how it responds to outside influences such as diet, exercise and stress in more ways than you can imagine. 

For example, some people as you would have witnessed can drink gallons of coffee with no noticeable side effects, while others of us literally get the shakes after one. 

It will also show why your:

  • Prone to migraines (and what you may need to adjust)
  • Level and type of current exercise does or doesn’t work for you. 
  • tolerance of alcohol or fats may not be the same as others you know.
  • addiction seems to be a family trait

What systems and processes are we specifically looking at?

  • Inflammation
  • Nutrient receptors and metabolism (how they impact our biochemistry)
  • Cellular Defence
  • Liver function and the ability to clear toxins, heavy metals and hormone excess
  • Metabolism of fats and cholesterol
  • Antioxidants
  • Neurotransmitters and Mood
  • Blood Pressure
  • Clotting factors
  • Thyroid and hormone receptors
  • Cytokines
