We utilize genetic testing frequently to find the root cause of many disorders. Nutrigenomics is the relationship between your genes, nutrition, and health. DNA tests analyze parts of your DNA called SNPs. SNPs are neither good nor bad and we all have them. The environment is what largely drives the gene expression of these SNPs in a positive or negative way. We can entirely control the environment by our lifestyle choices! Some variations of SNPs affect how your body breaks down and processes nutrients. For example, some SNPs are associated with your propensity to be overweight, or your ability to methylate, or your genetic predisposition to have high blood pressure, etc.
Science has even determined which genes tell us what type of diet you will thrive with (higher fat, lower carbs -vs- higher carbs -vs- Mediterranean diet) Knowing which SNPs you have and then making the correct diet and lifestyle choices can have dramatic effects on your health. It’s a way of hacking your genetic code. Knowledge is power! Genetic testing enables us to give very specific personalized recommendations so we are not guessing when it comes to diet and supplement recommendations. We highly suggest this test for all of our adult patients and require it for our pediatric patients because it gives us so much information.
