No doubt you will have come across the vast amount of information sweeping the internet and in particular, social media, on how to be healthier, what to eat, when to eat it, what exercises to do and what supplements to take!

There is a lot of noise with claims that certain diets or foods can turn your health around, give you boundless energy, and help you lose weight. Admittedly, before entering the nutrition field, I used to feel overwhelmed by it all, so I can understand how this can leave you feeling confused and unable to determine which direction to take. You may have tried some of these trends and not felt any better. Why not?

There really is no one-size-fits-all health plan. We are unique individual each with a unique genetic code and unique biochemistry. What is healthy for one person, may not be right for another.

Nutrigenomics testing is one of the methods that I now use in clinic to create a truly personalised nutrition plan for my clients.

We all inherit a unique genetic code from our parents. These are instructions contained within our DNA. Our body translates this code to produce molecules and proteins that not only support our growth and development but also impact our health. A variation at any single point in our DNA sequence is known as a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) – pronounced “snip”.

These variations make us unique in numerous ways, including our disease risk, our response to medications, our environment, and the food we eat. Your diet, lifestyle and environment can impact your health in a number of ways, in particular by changing your gene expression, or by switching genes on or off – this is known as epigenetics.

What is Nutrigenomics?

Nutrigenomics is the practice of exploring the way your genes influence your body’s response to the food you eat and the way in which nutrients from your food are utilised. You could have the healthiest diet, however, your body may not be able to appropriately use the nutrients you so lovingly put into it. Genes may be one of the reasons behind nutrient deficiencies or health issues.

Nutrigenomics tests are an exciting addition to my toolbox. They are invaluable in helping me to create a tailored nutrition and lifestyle plan that matches your particular genetic requirements. This can fast track you on your path to health.
