Genetic Testing
for Nutritional Variants

WHAT’S TESTED

This genetics test is different than any of the direct-to-consumer general genetics tests.

Nutrigenomic testing is focused only on those genes that can influence nutrition, metabolism, and diet strategy.

The Nutrigenomix lab test provides insights about your biological tendencies to:

Absorb and efficiently use certain vitamins and minerals

Carry risk of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis depending on diet and lifestyle

Gain or lose weight depending on macronutrient distribution or physical activity level

Develop immune food reactions to gluten, or have sensitivity to lactose or caffeine

Fall into the habit of snacking or exercising

Gravitate towards fats or sweets

Once we know your blueprint, we can customize dietary strategies to work with your personal blend of biological tendencies.

HOW IT WORKS

70 genes are tested.

Testing is simple and non-invasive. You will receive a test kit by mail and take a swab sample from your cheek.

A postage-paid envelope will be provided to mail your sample directly to the lab.

I will contact you again in approximately 3 weeks when I receive your test results. We can then arrange a virtual appointment for reviewing your results and diet.

70-GENE NUTRIGENOMIC PROFILE

Unlike common nutrition tests, Nutrigenomix testing only tests for the gene variants that will affect specific nutrient and diet/sport dynamics. The report includes your genetic predisposition to absorb and/or use the following micronutrients:

VITAMIN A

VITAMIN B12

VITAMIN C

VITAMIN D

VITAMIN E

FOLATE

CHOLINE

IRON

CALCIUM

You will also be tested for how your body is likely to respond to:

WHOLE GRAINS

SODIUM

OMEGA-3 & OMEGA-6 FATS

EXERCISE

The test also determines your level of risk for reacting to:

GLUTEN

LACTOSE

CAFFEINE (& ANXIETY)

And the results include insight into your ability to manage weight and body composition as influenced by:

ENERGY BALANCE

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

PROTEIN

TOTAL FAT

SATURATED AND UNSATURATED FAT

MONOUNSATURATED FAT

The test also checks on your genetic variant for tolerating LACTOSE and GLUTEN.

Lastly, it takes a look at genes involved in:

FAT AND SUGAR TASTE PREFERENCES

SNACKING PATTERN PREFERENCE

MOTIVATION TO EXERCISE

PREDISPOSITION TO POWER VS ENDURANCE ACTIVITIES

MUSCLE DAMAGE WITH EXERICSE

PAIN TOLERANCE/SENSITIVITY

PROCLIVITY FOR TENDON INJURY

BONE MASS PREDISPOSITION
