FindWhy™ Weight Control Profile

About the Test

The FindWhy™ Weight Control test is a risk assessment test that uses DNA variations to identify potential predispositions to weight gain, allowing individuals to create a tailored weight loss plan that is more likely to lead to lasting results. This test does not guarantee weight loss, nor does it definitively suggest one diet over another.
