Genetic Profiling - Nutrigenomics

Q. How can you provide me with a truly individualised nutrition and lifestyle program?

A. Genetic Profiling

Nutrigenomics is a scientific discipline which studies the interaction between our genes, nutrition and lifestyle choices and how these can influence our health and wellness.

Genetic Profiling

Lose body fat more easily
Improve your energy levels
Reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis
Reduce your cholesterol
Improve your fertility
Healthy ageing

Prevention is better than cure!

Cardiac Panel

Lipids (cholesterol) Profile - examines genes that influence how nutrients in an individual's diet impact upon pathways that have an effect on cardiovascular function. Some of these genes control enzymes that act directly on fat metabolism and absorption and influence factors such as cholesterol levels and energy balance.

Blood Pressure Profile - examines genes that have an impact on blood pressure. Following our recommendations can reduce your risk of hypertension and/or reduce your blood pressure.

Diabetes Panel

Examines genes that have an influence on glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and overall risk of Diabetes.

Body Composition Panel

Examines a range of genes related to body composition, such as those that influence glucose and carbohydrate metabolism, insulin sensitivity, fat mobilisation and fat distribution in the body. Together these genes influence how easily you gain or lose weight.

Health Ageing Panel

Phase I and II Detox Profile - examines genes relating to detoxification, which is a two step process of converting potentially harmful molecules into less dangerous ones that can be removed by the liver.

Oxidative Stress Profile- is a major cause of premature aging and cell death. This profile examines genes relating to the major enzymes involved in anti-oxidant defence.

Inflammation Profile - examines genes relating to inflammatory responses within the body.

Methylation Profile - examines genes relating to epigenetic processes within the body, which play a key role in the expression of your genes.

Metal Binding Panel

Examines genes involved in binding and releasing metals that come into the body from the environment. Accumulation of metals can have a deleterious effect on the health of the body and the brain.

Bone Density Panel

Examines genes involved in bone density.

Lactose Intolerance

Find out whether you are genetically lactose intolerant!

Procedure

We will obtain your DNA through a saliva sample.

Four weeks later you will be provided with your Nutrigenomics or Physiogenomics Genetic Profile Report. Our Medical Nutritionist will assist you to implement your unique nutrition and lifestyle recommendations to achieve your health goals and promote healthy ageing.

Take the guesswork out of improving your health.
