DNA-Based Nutrigenetic Coaching
Nutritional coaching powered by your DNA. For more energy, better balance and lasting wellness.
What is Nutrigenetics about?
We are all born with a unique DNA code which is a template used to make proteins. We have about 3 billion base pairs of genes, 99.9% of which are the same in all people. It is that 0.1% that sets us apart from each other.
Our DNA does not change in our lifetime, but what does change is the expression of our genes. What can change gene expression? This is known as epigenetics. These are factors, both internal, like genetic enzymes and external factors like our diet, lifestyle and environment.
A SNP, or single nucleotide polyphormism is when there is a change at a particular position in the genome. These SNP’s occur on average once in every 300 nucleotides. They can act as a biological marker indicating predispositions or risks.
Nutrigenetics is the study of how your genes affect the way your body responds to the food you eat and includes nutraceticals. Think of it this way: just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person also has unique genetic makeup that influences how they process nutrients. Some people might digest carbs better, while others may need more vitamins or struggle with certain fats, all because of differences in their genes.
Through Nutrigenetics, we can personalize your diet to fit your genetic profile. This means that instead of following a one-size-fits-all diet, you can eat in a way that works best for your unique body, thus improving your health and preventing certain diseases.
What is DNA-Based Nutrigenetic coaching?
We look at the whole, not the part. Your unique genetic code gives you an insightful foundation tool to help you learn how to support your genetic expression through all aspects of life: diet, lifestyle (exercise, sleep, habits) and your environment.
Nutrigenetics focuses on personalized recommendations, because your genetic code and life is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Pharmacogenetics looks at how certain medications can interact with your genes, making you either favorably inclined to certain medications or increasing your risk for treatment failure and side effects.
