Genetics - It's Personal
Ever wonder why your friend can eat fried everything and not gain an ounce? Or how come your other friend loves to run and you do good to walk? Well, as it turns out it's in your genes.
There's been a lot of research into genetic codes in the past few years. In fact several billion dollars worth of research. And as it turns out, your suspicions have been confirmed. A LOT of what we do is in large part due to our parents and their parents and their parents ...better known as: your genetic code.
Weight , Wellness and Your Genetic Code:
Obesity is driven by a certain genetic makeup. Certain genes could make fat cells double without eating anything!. While people with other genetic makeup do well on a high fat diet!!! Genes also play a role in behavior, reward seeking and overeating. (no genetic signal to STOP eating)Genes are related to the brain, aging, memory and dementia. Turns out you could have a "worrier" or "warrior" gene. There is also a genetic code that can determine the likelihood of developing autoimmune diseases.
Genes also play a role in what exercise is best. This would explain the runners vs walkers. The weight lifters vs. jumpers.
There are genetic drug and nutrient pathways that improve absorption.
Genetics is why "one size does not fit all" when it comes to foods, exercise and vitamins or supplements.
Teach Your Genes to Behave:
So is everything just predetermined or do we have a choice in the matter? While there are certain things you can't change, like the color of your eyes, how tall you are, there are things you can change such as your path to wellness vs. disease. Once you have DNA testing done, it can provide a GPS to your health. There are certain genes that respond to lifestyle and environmental changes positively,
Discovering a personalized diet, exercise and supplementation regimen, based on YOUR genetic code, is an "ah ha" moment! "That's why I....(you fill in the blank after your test).
Whats more, you have the ability to train your genes to "behave" in a different manner, for optimal health. In as little as 3 months, once implemented, people can begin to look and perform better!
There are many DNA tests out there. However, Gene SNP DNA Analysis is a robust test. Looking at 48 genes and 61 SNPS (variations) Ask your healthcare provider about Gene SNP DNA Analysis. Providing a report that's "all about you", based on your unique genetic makeup. Providing you and your health professional a wealth of information to comb over and get specific nuts and bolts of what's going on with YOU and exactly what YOU need to be the best YOU you can be.
It's a "one and done test". Surprisingly affordable, saving hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars of testing and "guessing" what you need to optimize YOUR health.
It's not about the genetic "cards" your dealt, but it's about knowing what they are and how to play them well!
TEST DON'T GUESS!

Have you taken a DNA test yet? If so, what was the outcome? Was it informative, life changing?
