Genetic / Micronutrient Lab Testing

DIETS ARE NOT UNIQUE TO YOU. YOUR DNA IS.

HOW GENETIC TESTING CAN IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH: Genetic testing has moved into the mainstream and is the future of preventive health. In addition to the thousands of tests being offered for medical conditions and diseases, the science and research behind genetic testing for lifestyle and wellness improvement has progressed dramatically to help us identify the specific genes dictating how the human body processes carbohydrates, fat, protein, micro-nutrients, etc., and how specific genes determine the effectiveness of certain fitness activities.

With the genetic testing technology and scientific understanding of the human genome, it is now possible to develop individually tailored nutrition and exercise programs that are based on and tailored to your unique DNA. Only now has the cost of genetic testing come down to the point where it is feasible to use this technology for health management programs offered to the general public.

Our Process

You will receive a DNA collection kit. We will simply rub the sterile cotton swab in the kit along your gums for one minute, pack the sample up and send it back to the lab. The federally certified lab will analyze your sample and identify your genotype. Within 2-3 weeks, our Affiliate will send you notification that your report is ready for you to access inside our secure web portal.

When you login to our secure web portal, you will be able to view your complete diet and lifestyle recommendations. Your report is available at any time and accessible from any connected desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

After you’ve received your report, you can schedule a follow up session with one of our Affiliates. During this interaction, our Affiliate will be able to answer any questions you may have about your report and provide additional educational and support services. They will help you develop a plan to integrate the recommendations into your current lifestyle.

**Important: You must schedule an initial visit and one follow-up visit PRIOR to purchasing any of the genetic testing kits. Initial and follow-up visits are mandated for a full nutrition surveillance as preventive care. MOST INSURANCES ACCEPTED! (Genetic Kit and Reports are not covered by insurances).

7 Ways Your DNA Influences Your Ability to Lose Weight:

• Your genes determine if your body is resistant to losing weight.
• Your genes determine how well your body is able to possess carbohydrates in your diet. **People who are overweight have a higher risk of diabetes**
• Your genes determine how much body fast you can lose through cardio exercise.
• Your genes determine how well your body is able to effectively absorb folate. **Folate plays a role in biochemical processes that affect the metabolism of homocysteine. One gene associated with this gene is associated with enzyme activity that can lead to higher levels of homocysteine. Since homocysteine is a risk factor for heart disease, high levels may be of concern. Low levels of folate can also lead to anemia.
• Your genes determine how sensitive your body is to the amount of fat in your diet.
• Your genes determine how your body responds to strength training. **When you are trying to lose weight, it is very important to include resistance training in your routine**
• Your genes determine how sensitive your body is to the amount of protein in your diet.

• 7 Ways Your DNA Affects How You Age
  1. Your genes determine how your facial skin agers

     **There are certain lifestyle behaviors that accelerate and/or exacerbate facial aging such as smoking, poor nutrition and sun damage**

  2. How your impulse control and taste preferences change with aging

     **We tend to think of resisting impulsive eating as an act of “willpower”**

  3. If you are likely to live into your 90s or 100s
  4. How your body’s skin ages over time
  5. If you are more likely or less likely to experience age-related hearing loss

     **The loss of tiny hair cells occurs often with aging itself, but there are numerous contributing factors such as exposure to loud noise, health conditions like heart disease and diabetes, certain antibiotics and other medications and heredity**

  6. If you are more or less lile; to experience mental acuity decline with aging.

     **The Brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) is a protein that helps you grow new brain cells and keep your existing neurons alive**

  7. How well your body is able to effectively absorb calcium.

     **Calcium is essential for bone and dental health. Low serum levels can lead to weakened bones**

The report also provides a set of recommendations that will help you achieve your healthy weight goals, based exclusively on your genetic results. Today, it is possible and act upon the healthy aging roadmap our bodies naturally give us. Let Pro Nutrition Counseling PLLC chart it for you!

ProNutrition Nutrient provides a comprehensive analysis of your genetic predisposition to absorbing micronutrients in your diet. Even if you eat a perfectly balanced diet with plenty of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, most of us have some difficulty in absorbing one or more micronutrients at the cellular level. Understanding your genetic profile for how your body likely processes key vitamins and minerals is an important step in developing a healthy nutrition program.

If you scored LOW or BELOW AVERAGE, your genotype results show that you may have a higher risk for having blood levels of certain nutrients that may be in the lower end of the normal range. Note that this does not necessarily suggest that you are at risk of being deficient, merely that you are at risk of being at the lower end of the normal range.

Be careful of assuming these results indicate you are low, or deficient in a certain nutrient. The only way to know for sure if you are in the low end of the normal range for a nutrient, or if you are actually deficient, is to consult with your physician and get a specific blood test designed to assess a specific nutrient. This genetic test can only assess your risk; the blood test is what can assess your actual levels.

ProNutrition Perform is a health and activity performance improvement program based on your genetic profile. The best nutrition, workout and supplement regimens for you cannot be determined without understanding your genetic predisposition. Genetic links to sports injury risks, VO2Max, and other athletic traits are also now known and key to athletic performance. For average athletes wanting to be good and good athletes wanting to be great, GxPerform provides you with the food, nutrient and training recommendations to allow you to reach your potential

7 Ways Your DNA Affects Your Athlete Performance

• If your body is more inclined to power or endurance sports
• How well your body responses to cardiovascular training
  1. Vo2 Max is generally considered the best indicator of aerobic fitness and endurance potential.
• Your potential level of strength
• The potential capacity of blood volume in your heartbeat
• Your potential testosterone levels
  1. Low testosterone levels not only hinder your ability to make gains in the gym, but can also be harmful to your health, as its been associated with heart disease, metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, osteoporosis, muscle loss, and increased mortality risk**
• How effectively your body utilizes protein in your diet
  1. As an athlete, you need more protein than the average person.
• How prone you are to muscle and bone injuries
