Are you eating the right foods for your individual genetic profile?

Are you taking supplements not knowing if they are what you need?

Unlock Your Genetic Potential

DNA testing is surprisingly simple these days – it only takes a saliva swab to unlock many of codes that inform your biological make-up. Your genes will thrive or suffer according to your lifestyle. They are highly personalised, so it’s not enough to say, “illness x runs in my family.” The fact is – genetic variation is considerable.

Genetic profile specialists, Domenic Pisanelli, can maximise your health, by testing to see which genes are turned on or off by your current lifestyle, and how that affects your overall health. That is, certain foods, lifestyle choices, even your emotional well-being, will affect which genes “express” and which don’t.

Synchronising our unique DNA blueprint with our diet and lifestyle, known as nutrigenomics, is the key to the exciting new realm of personalised wellness medicine.

How Genes Can be Switched On + Off

Most people understand that our genes support our uniqueness – they influence everything from the colour of our eyes and our height, to the predisposition to chronic disease. However, science now confirms that our genes interact with our lifestyle choices, such as nutrition, exercise and environmental exposures.
To understand more about your genes, it is important to know that our unique genetic make-up, which is what we are born with, is like our hard drive – and represents our health potential for life. To function optimally in our environment, our genes have ‘epigenomes’, which are parts of our genes that interact with the environment and causes our genes to be ‘triggered’ – otherwise known as ‘epigenetics’ or our software. Therefore, the expression of our DNA is actually controlled by signals from outside each cell – which primarily come from our diet, lifestyle and environmental exposures.

Your genes may load the ‘gun’, but it is your diet, lifestyle, stress and other environmental exposures that pull the ‘trigger’ that causes disease and premature ageing…

By matching your diet+lifestyle to your unique genetic make up you can optimise your body to:

 Age well

 Know how your body works and make informed lifestyle choices to fine-tune your genetic expression

 Prevent and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, as well as treat existing health problems

 Improve your energy levels and concentration

 Know what diet will optimise the health of your genes

 Know exactly which supplements will help your body function at it’s very best

 Exactly which weight reduction or maintenance strategy will work best for you

Smart DNA Profiling Panels Tested

Weight loss profile– learn why you may be struggling with your weight and how to unlock your body’s secrets to weight loss

 Sports & Exercise profile– what exercise is best for your body, such as endurance or sprint and power, and are you more prone to muscle pain after exercise

 Lipid (cholesterol) profile– knowing your genetic profile enables an individual nutrition and diet program to help control your cholesterol

 High blood pressure risk– how to better manage blood pressure

 Liver detoxification capacity– how your body deals with toxins and substances such as caffeine, medications, heavy metals, hormones

 Anti-ageing profiling– to help you slow the rate of ageing

 Inflammation profile– how to reduce pain and inflammation

 Diabetes profile– know your risk and how to prevent it

 Bone health– risk/prevention of osteoporosis

 Oestrogenic profile– your ability to deal with oestrogens

 Lactose intolerance risk

 Coeliac disease risk

 Caffeine metabolism

 Salt sensitivity

 Specific nutrient needs – you may need specific nutrients based on your genes for example, Omega-3s, vitamin B2, B12, Vitamin C, Folate, Vitamin D, Vitamin E

 Nutrigenomic (gene appropriate diet) profile – what nutrients and diet is best for your genes

 Methylation profile– a very important profile to check for preconception, autism, ADHA, Alzheimer’s, stroke and cardiovascular disease risk

 Physiogenomic profile– risk factors for brain and mood health are covered in this panel plus how you’re wired to deal with stress, and change in the season

Some Nutrigenomic facts:

 The Mediterranean diet is prescribed widely but is not suitable for all genetic types (in some gene types it can increase bad (LDL) cholesterol

 Some genotypes are best suited to resistance exercise, rather than aerobic exercise – which can have a huge influence on their metabolism and weight-loss

 Gene testing will tell which individuals with high blood pressure are sensitive to salt intake and who is not

What Gene testing will not do:

 It will not predict the risk of diseases such as cancer

 It will not identify disease causing changes in genes
