DNA Testing for Personalized Nutrition
Your DNA holds the key to understanding how your body responds to different foods and nutrients. DNA testing for personalized nutrition helps uncover insights about your unique genetic makeup, allowing you to make informed choices about your diet, lifestyle, and long-term health. Our DNA testing services, available across Canada and the USA, are designed to help you optimize your nutrition plan based on the science of nutrigenomics.
Unlock the Power of Your DNA for a Healthier, Happier You
Nutrigenomics is the study of how genes interact with the nutrients you consume. This cutting-edge science enables us to analyze your genetic information and provide personalized recommendations to enhance your diet, improve well-being, and reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. No more one-size-fits-all nutrition plans—our approach is based on your unique genetic profile.
How Does DNA Testing for Personalized Nutrition Work?
Simple, Non-Invasive Process
The process starts with a simple cheek swab test, which can be done from the comfort of your home. After you provide your sample, our lab analyzes specific genes related to nutrition, fitness, and overall health.
Comprehensive Analysis
Our test analyzes multiple genetic markers that affect your response to various nutrients, such as:
- Metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
- Vitamin absorption and utilization
- Sensitivity to caffeine and lactose
- Antioxidant and detoxification capacity
- Genetic risk for elevated cholesterol, inflammation and blood pressure with sodium intake
Personalized Nutrition Report
Once the analysis is complete, you’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining your genetic profile and actionable dietary recommendations. Whether your goal is weight management, improving athletic performance, or enhancing overall wellness, our personalized report will guide you towards the best foods and nutrients for your body.
