Genes never change but the expression of genes can be assisted with the proper nutrients. A LifeMap Healthy Aging™ DNA assessment will give you the information you need to fully support your genes and the optimal expression of your genes to achieve optimal health and wellness.
A LifeMap Healthy Aging™ DNA assessment will identify your genetic predispositions in areas of oxidative stress, cardiovascular health, immune health, environmental changes, detoxification, neurological health, pulmonary health, eye/vision health, and bone health.
The assessment tests for 12 DNA SNPs (pronounced “snips”), or DNA strands, that are small but common natural variations in human DNA. These 12 SNPs are precise indicators of “healthy living”.
Each person’s genetic material contains a unique SNP pattern in the DNA strand that serves as the “body’s instruction book”, telling the body in minute detail how too everything from making bone cells to processing dietary cholestrerol to detoxifying spent hormones in the liver.
By understanding your predispositions from a DNA SNP perspective, we are able to create an individualized supplement program, specifically for you, and provide you with customized nutritional support for optimal gene expression.
This targeted approach (rather than a one-size-fits-all supplement appraoch) ultimately helps save you time, money and more importantly focuses your nutritional supplement regimen on key areas that are important to your physiology.
Scientific Evidence
Clinical evidence is increasingly linking SNPs to specific nutritional needs. For example, some people make more undesirable homocysteine that onthers, as determined by their SNP for MTHFR. With our DNA assessment, you are now able to find out if this predisposition applies to you.
Those who make more homocysteine would especially benefit from more Folate in their diet, as well as starting dietary supplements that are clinically shown to reduce homocystene.
DNA testing is the only surefire way to get to the root of your body’s genetic needs. Your DNA is the only thing that NEVER changes and is what can give you the most precise look into your body’s make-up.
DNA testing is becoming more and more prevalent in our society, especially in the areas of health and nutrition. DNA has been the hot topic of the news and media over the past few years, clearly dictating the trends towards gene-specific nutritional and health programs:
“DNA analysis can identify potential health problems and prevent drug reactions.” — MSNBC 1/25/2005
“Genetic testing sounds like a concept straight out of a science fiction novel. But this chance to peek into the future of your health is an opportunity some people are taking today. People with a family history of certain medical conditions can plan for their futures by understanding their health risks.” — CNN 4/12/2006
By customizing nutrition to your unique genetic profile, you can rest assured that you are providing your body with EXACTLY what it needs for optimum health.
