DNA testing to help in Weight Management

By looking at an individual’s genetic makeup, we can build a picture of the body’s capacity to cope with food and lifestyle and create a bespoke nutritional programme that can aid in the management of weight for the long term. Not only do can we look at the direct impact of storage of fat, but also of how an individual reacts to different food types and how this impacts hormone balance and metabolism.

DNA testing helps to:

  • Indentify hormonal imbalances that contribute to obesity, weight gain and difficulty losing or sustaining a healthy weight.
  • Reveal your carbohydrate and saturated fat sensitivity, lactose and gluten intolerance risk, as well as your ideal diet, detox ability, anti-oxidant needs, vitamin and micronutrient intake, salt and caffeine sensitivity.
  • Give an insight into how you absorb the nutrients important for good bone health allowing for informed dietary and supplement choices
    Detect risk markers for insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes
