DNA Diet

DNA Diet is a genetic test that provides insights into factors influencing weight, guiding personalized diet and exercise recommendations.

Genetics and personalised medicine

Genes contain the instructions for making proteins required for proper development and function. Genetic variations can affect metabolic processes and how we respond to diet, lifestyle, supplements, and medications. Knowing these variations offers valuable insights into biological systems, enabling tailored interventions to help achieve optimal health.

Personalised medicine and weight management

Overweight and obesity are complex, multifactorial conditions strongly linked to chronic disease risk. Precision nutrition, considering an individual’s unique genetic code, age, sex, and health status, is essential for effective and sustainable weight management.

Understanding weight management

The majority of obesity is polygenic, meaning both genetic and environmental factors play significant roles. Genetic variants are associated with various biological pathways involved in weight regulation, including the nervous system, digestion, insulin signaling, metabolism, and gut health.

This holistic understanding supports a personalized approach to weight management, considering an individual’s genetic profile and how they may respond to dietary, lifestyle, and exercise interventions. This can improve motivation, compliance, and long-term outcomes.
