DNA DIET

DNA Diet Test analyzes certain genes whose variants are responsible for everyone’s individual response to the intake of certain food substances.

It provides information regarding tolerance to different foods, assimilation and/or metabolization of lipids and carbohydrates, requirements for certain vitamins, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substances, etc.

Depending on your individual genetic characteristics, it highlights what are the weaknesses in your metabolism capable of increasing the risk of certain pathological conditions compared to the average of the general population (e.g., atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis) if you do not bring remedy with proper nutrition and a suitable lifestyle. The test also offers notes regarding susceptibility to stress and sleep-wake rhythm dysregulation.

Finally, personalized advice and recommendations emerge regarding the foods to prefer and avoid and the lifestyle to adopt.

With input from the Diet test, the physician/nutritionist, in relation to your overall clinical picture, can plan a tailor-made dietary and preventive regimen and undertake personalized interventions tailored to your specific needs.
