Genetic testing for your health . . . what is this all about?
The immense body of research being conducted in the science of genetics has revealed that we can, in fact, influence and alter the expression of many of our genes in very profound ways. Our health and well-being is not at the mercy of our genetic makeup and we do definitely have the power to alter our genetic destiny.
This new science is called “Epigenetics” which has proven that genes and DNA are not an absolute in determining our health. The big message of epigenetics is that our DNA is actually controlled by signals from outside the cell. Quite simply - we can profoundly alter our physical health because we can control the expression of our genes through our lifestyle and dietary choices that we make each day. If we know our bodies unique genetic profile, we understand the pathways that are vulnerable and can implement changes to maintain health. Without this vital information, dietary guidance is based on general principles and will not serve your optimal health.

This test is NOT about disease predictions i.e. you have a 25% chance of Alzheimers Disease or a 16% chance of Cancer.
