ore and more dietitians are tailoring diets to individuals’ genetic makeups. A new wave of DNA testing can determine with precision which foods are right for you. What you eat can ultimately benefit your body metabolism, energy, cardio, brain health, gut health and your fitness performance. Those are some good reasons to do genetic testing! If you truly want to know what foods might make you bloated, fatigued or overweight, or which vitamins you should take, the DNA panel will reveal the scientific truths based on your unique genes. Your genetic code is analyzed to determine how your genes influence your food intolerances, eating behaviours, macronutrient, mineral and vitamin metabolism as well as your physical activity. What is the science? World-renowned researchers have found that variations in 45 of our inherited genetic markers determine how we respond to foods, beverages and supplements. Our genes determine whether we are prone to specific vitamin deficiencies, whether we are gluten or lactose intolerant and how quickly (or not) we metabolize carbs, fats, protein, caffeine and sodium.

Through Nutrigenomix genetic testing, you’ll truly find out and discover: “Is a gluten free diet right for me? Am I drinking too much coffee? Do I have a marker for being overweight? Am I lactose intolerant? How easy is it?”

One quick saliva sample and four weeks later you’ll have a comprehensive DNA report for personalized and specific nutrition recommendations. Samara Felesky-Hunt, RD, Sports & Wellness Registered Dietitian, will meet with you and walk you through your genetic findings and personalized report. She’ll reveal how you need to eat for your future health to maximize your full genetic potential. Come by the Wellness Centre today and spit away to better health! The answer may be in your genes. A
