DNA Diet

DNA Diet® is tailored to assist individuals in managing their weight through personalized diet and lifestyle recommendations.  By analyzing an individual’s genetic makeup, this test identifies the most suitable diet type—be it low carbohydrate, low fat, or Mediterranean—optimizing weight management strategies.

This test is ideal for anyone struggling with weight loss, those who have experienced resistance to losing weight, or individuals who have tried various diets without success. It also benefits those aiming to optimize their macronutrient distribution to enhance weight management outcomes. 

DNA Diet® provides insights into how one's genetic profile can influence responses to different dietary plans, helping to identify the most effective approach for each individual.

The report includes detailed analysis of any genetic variants identified, explaining their impact on weight management, and offers tailored nutritional and lifestyle recommendations. These recommendations cover weight management priorities, diet plan principles, exercise planning, and methods to calculate MET hours, providing a comprehensive guide to achieving and maintaining optimal weight.

A 17 page report offers assessment of 20 gene variations which affect weight management. These genes are involved in regulation of:

  • Energy expenditure
  • Appetite, sugar addiction and overeating
  • Taste sensitivity
  • Insulin sensitivity
  • Fat metabolism
  • Sleep and activity patterns
  • Carbohydrate responsiveness

DNA Mind

DNA Mind focuses on genetic variations in 30 genes involved in crucial biological pathways affecting mental health, such as serotonin and dopamine regulation, inflammation, and methylation. This test offers personalized recommendations for diet, lifestyle, and nutraceuticals, helping individuals manage or mitigate mental health issues through genetically informed strategies.

This test is ideal for individuals concerned about their mental health due to a family history or personal experience with mental illnesses, particularly addiction, cognitive decline, or mood disorders. 

DNA Mind is recommended to be used in conjunction with the Medcheck test for a comprehensive analysis. Additionally, it serves as an excellent supplement to DNA Health for those aiming to enhance overall longevity and mental wellness through tailored dietary and lifestyle modifications.

MedCheck

MedCheck provides critical insights into how a patient metabolizes, transports, and responds to various medications. This test is invaluable for optimizing medication efficacy and minimizing side effects, as it allows physicians to tailor drug prescriptions based on genetic factors affecting drug metabolism and response.
