Nutrigenomics
BACKGROUND
Nutritional genomics has a wide range of applications. Some illnesses (diabetes, metabolic syndrome) can be detected with individualized assessment. By screening individuals and determining particular nutritional requirements, nutrigenomics can assist with individualized health and nutrition intake. The research focuses on the prevention and treatment of specific genetic illnesses. Obesity, coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, and diabetes mellitus type 1 are examples of genetically connected illnesses that improve with nutritional adjustment. Spina bifida, alcoholism, and phenylketonuria are examples of genetic illnesses that can be averted by good dietary intake of parents
WHAT WE DO?
We specialize in identifying a patient’s
genetic variants in order to pinpoint
metabolic deficiency. These important
proteins are involved in cellular
signaling, enzyme conversion, and
nutrient delivery. With specially
designed genetic panels that evaluate
the most commonly researched and
validated single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNP’s) that can affect
a patient’s ability to regain and
maintain metabolic function, we can
provide a complete picture of
nutritional health and provide advice
on how to address issues discovered
through lifestyle changes. Each
Nutrigenomic report identifies SNPs
and supplements based on scientific
evidence of each patient’s need in
many health categories.
