Healthy Weight Genetic Profile Testing
This is a comprehensive health and wellness genetic test that provides a unique combination of information concerning nutrigenetics, medication response, and a number of common health conditions. A proprietary algorithm is used to also provide a genetically-matched diet where specific recommendations can be made to help you achieve or maintain a healthy weight.
How Does It Work?
This test is designed to help you look at genetic markers that are known to be involved in your weight. The results will closely analyze your food intake, helping you understand the interaction between what you eat and your genetic makeup as well as recommend a diet plan. The following healthy weight areas and genetic profiles are analyzed:
How your body uses carbs, proteins and fats:
- Proportions of fat, carbohydrates, and proteins needed in your diet
- Recommendations for your genetic makeup for your age, height, and gender
How your body uses nutrients & vitamins:
- Nutrients and vitamins needed
- Possible deficiencies in your genes
- Foods that have nutrients and vitamins missing in your diet
How your body responds to cardio, strength training, and exercise regimes:
- How often to exercise
- Glucose response

Discovering Your Past, Learning Your History, and Uncovering your Heritage
When many people think of laboratory blood tests, they imagine making an appointment at their doctor's office, taking time off work, paying large fees, and waiting around in the lobby for who knows how long.
Advancing Further Every Day
The future of preventive health is genetic testing with thousands of tests offered for medical conditions and diseases. The research supporting genetic testing related to lifestyle and wellness has progressed dramatically, even to where we can understand
- The specific genes that dictate how the human body processes nutrients
- How specific genes determine the effectiveness of exercising
Because this testing is available, it’s possible to develop individually-based nutrition and exercise programs that are DNA-specific. Programs tailored to the unique DNA of an individual have proven to be much more effective than generic programs. A recent study, published by the European Society of Human Genetics, found dieters who utilized weight management programs tailored to their individual genome lost up to 33% more weight than those that followed a standard weight loss program.
