What Is Nutrigenomics? | Nutrition Genome

Nutrigenomics is one of the most exciting, revolutionary, and cutting-edge fields in nutrition, genetics, and modern medicine.

 / Nutrigenomics 

Nutrigenomics is the study of how foods interact with your genes and explains the individual genetic differences that can affect the requirements of vitamins, minerals, and compounds in the foods we eat. Everyone absorbs, metabolizes, and transports chemicals differently based on their genetic makeup; nutrigenomics unlocks this personal blueprint.

Epigenetics \

Epigenetics refers to chemical tags that attach to the exterior of the genome, changing the way that your cells read and express your genetic material. Understanding DNA vs. epigenetics is similar to understanding nature vs. nurture. DNA is your blueprint, not your destiny. Your genetic results are your nature determined at birth, and these results do not change throughout your lifetime. 

However, nurture or epigenetic influences, including your diet, stress levels, relationships, sleep patterns, environment, and exercise, change your genes’ expression. “Good” or “bad” genes are relative to the expression of your genes from your epigenetic choices in life. 

The Nutrition Genome Report shows where you need to epigenetically narrow your choices to increase the probability of success for a sound body and mind. Epigenetics gives you control to build a healthier version of yourself, cell by cell!

4 ng STAGE B b 53

What health issues run in your family, and what genes increase your susceptibility?

What strategies can eliminate this susceptibility? Environmental factors, diet, and lifestyle drive approximately 90-95% of all cancers. People with “unlucky” genes that doubled the risk of cardiovascular disease were able to cut that risk in half when making targeted healthy changes. 

5 ng STAGE B b 55

Are you a warrior, worrier, or hybrid genotype? How does this impact stress?

Understanding your genetic baseline levels of dopamine and adrenaline helps determine your ideal work environment, coffee, and tea intake to reach the flow state, magnesium requirements, and strategies for optimizing mood and focus. 

6 ng STAGE B b 45

Do you have more northern or southern hemisphere ancestry? How does this affect your dietary needs and sensitivities for immunity and inflammation?

Certain genetic variants have been determined by your ancestors’ predominant geography and latitude, showing trade-off adaptations and nutritional requirements for UV protection and immune function. 

7 ng STAGE B b 43

Are you an athlete, or does your work require a high-level of cognition?

Genetic results can show you how to optimize all your neurotransmitters for better focus and productivity and what genes to target for faster recovery and injury prevention. We can help take your performance to the next level with our testing.

Is your DNA more aligned with a farmer or hunter-gatherer?

The ApoE gene helps you determine whether your DNA represents a farming or hunter-gatherer diet and lifestyle.
