Find & Address the Root Causes
IMMUNITY & INFLAMMATION
Don’t settle for a short-term solution Band-aids help to temporarily alleviate symptoms but do very little to address the root cause of the real problem. A band-aid could be a prescription, an over-the counter drug, or even a supplement. If your goal is to have optimal health, it’s important to pay attention to the little things and ask yourself and your healthcare team the right questions.

NUTRIGENOMICS: LEARNING HOW TO INFLUENCE YOUR GENES Genes can predispose you to certain physical or psychological diseases, nutritional deficiencies or particular traits such as weight, height, skin color, etc. Genes also can play a major role in how you metabolize nutrients, toxins, hormones and drugs. The big take away is that genes alone do not determine our future. Gene expression can be altered by what you eat, what your lifestyle habits are, what your exposed to every day. This is study of nutrigenomics and epigenetics. Genetic tests offered at Cal-a-Vie range from full panels (GxSlim) to specific panels by Kasha Labs: weight management, behavioral health, bone health, nutritional deficiencies, etc. Cal-a-Vie Copyright (c) 2016
