Eat according to your genes
Did you say eat according to your genes? I will admit, I was a skeptic about this for years....yet, if you use a test backed by real science- you may be able to optimize intake as it relates to your genetic/ DNA makeup. The research behind this precision nutrition advice has come a long way. I have participated in significant training and am excited to share what I have learned.
We now know that different versions of a
gene can make us respond differently to certain components in food such as
lactose in milk, gluten in bread, or caffeine in coffee, along with
carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and vitamins & minerals found in various
foods.
Following a personalized nutrition plan is more than just calories and carbs. A nutrition coach, with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) certification, considers many criteria...and tweaks recommendations along the way.
What does a nutrition expert /RDN analyze?
- medical history
- medications and supplements
- weight history
- meal and beverage intake- (when/where/how much/ how did you feel after)
- movement and exercise habits
- social engagement
- sleep quality and quantity
- family medical history
- YOUR goals
- OPTION: nutrigenomics test
- and.....
Nutrigenomics is the study of how your genes react to what you eat. A simple saliva test by a Nutrigenomix approved nutrition coach- gives us one more tool in our toolbox to add value to your nutrition plan.
