Benefits: DNA Genes
What Does Yours Say About You?

What are the Benefits to DNA testing? One of the most common questions is; how can knowing things about my genes give me a longer, healthier life?
Answer is: your health is a result of interactions between your genes and lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, stress, smoking and alcohol. It is your genetic make-up that determines which nutrients are used and how they are used; the way toxins are removed, what happens to any waste products and how efficient and effective these key processes are within the body. However, by adjusting your lifestyle, you can have a great impact on how your genes work and compensate for areas in which your genes are not functioning at an optimal level.

The Link between Genes and Disease

Many diseases have roots in our genes. Genes-through the proteins they encode-determine how efficiently we process foods, how effectively we detoxify poisons and how vigorously we respond to infections. More than 4,000 diseases are thought to stem from mutated genes inherited from one’s mother and/or father. When a gene contains a mutation, the protein encoded by the gene will be abnormal. Some protein changes are insignificant, while others are disabling. Common disorders such as heart disease, cancer, and asthma arise from a complex interplay among multiple genes and exposure to factors in the environment.

So a Gene SNP DNA Screening Analysis examines your DNA to help make the dietary and lifestyle changes best suited for your particular needs, based upon individualized gene screening.

You want to make sure a DNA Screening includes each of these vitally important test:

  • Heart Health Panel
    Heart health depends on a balance of environmental, dietary and genetic factors. The genes we screen for affect a variety of factors linked with heart health, including the metabolism of cholesterol, antioxidant activity and the levels of homocysteine in blood.
  • Bone Health Panel
    Certain genetic factors may create a requirement for particular foods or added supplementations that provide our bones and joints with the nutrients they need to stay strong. We also offer lifestyle advice for strengthening the bones and preventing fractures.
  • Antioxidation/Detoxification Panel
    Genes produce enzymes that help our bodies remove harmful toxins. If appropriate, we recommend specific foods that give the body's "cleansing" systems a healthy boost. Our bodies also produce their own antioxidants, which are encoded by our genes. These antioxidants affect how well our bodies neutralize free radicals which are destructive molecules involved in aging and a variety of diseases. An extra supply of antioxidants through diet or supplementation may be recommended.
  • Inflammation Panel
    Some gene variations produce altered proteins that may hinder inflammatory processes from running smoothly. We can recommend certain foods that have been shown to have a beneficial effect, including the fats known as omega-3 essential fatty acids.
  • Insulin Sensitivity
    The insulin sensitivity panel analyzes genes to determine insulin resistance and recommends dietary and lifestyle changes to support healthy insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistance refers to the diminished ability of the body’s cells to respond to the action of insulin. To compensate, the pancreas secretes more insulin, resulting in high levels of insulin in the bloodstream. Researchers suspect insulin resistance may play an important role in some of the most common health disorders.

    I’ve had this done and it is incredible the information you receive. I know what my body is doing inside, there’s no “hit or miss” on what I should do to be in optimal health.
    I also had a PH testing done which furthered my education of “real time” issue’s with my health. I am able to pinpoint exactly what supplementation I should be doing, food to eat, and what happens when the food process goes wrong inside, so I can head it off at the pass.

    For example, my body doesn’t process/digest proteins correctly, so it seems as though I get too much protein- and that causes excessive production of bilirubin, ammonia, urea and uric acid in the liver- which can be toxic if maintained for long periods of time, surely something worth knowing! But guess what, now that I know that I can take Digestive Enzymes with Betaine HCL and help keep that from happening.

    If you want to take charge of your health, I can help you with that. I’ll let you know how I received the best possible DNA Screening kit and/or if you have any questions at all just Contact Me

    To your Health! May you have the chance to Look into Your future, The Choice is Yours
