Have you ever wondered why your husband’s weight plummets on a high protein diet, but yours doesn’t budge? Why you crave cheese, but your wife craves cookies? Why your coworker can run 10 miles a day, but you’re out of breath after one block?
What if you could find out the answer to these questions? And most importantly, what can you do about it?
Nutrition can be a confusing and complex topic. Studies and nutrition recommendations are often based on the average person, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health!
Enter nutrigenomics – the study of how nutrition interacts with our DNA.
We all know our genes affect our weight, as well as our risk of health conditions like diabetes and heart disease. The rapidly advancing field of nutrigenomics takes this knowledge one step further. We can now identify and analyze each person’s DNA, or genome, and devise highly personalized recommendations based on YOUR unique genes.
Eviva is now offering Nutrigenomix™ genetic testing! Examine 45 key genes within 7 major categories. Learn your own risk factors, and how your body may respond to different diets and workouts! Here are some examples:
- Nutrient Metabolism
- How well do you utilize vitamins like vitamin D, B12, and folate? How does this affect your bone health, heart health, and immune system?
- Nutrition and Heart Health
- Should you drink less coffee, or should you drink MORE? Could too much salt, sugar, or saturated fat diet increase your risk of heart disease? Will omega-3 fats reduce your risk? Where do carbs fit in?
- Weight Management
- Are you likely to lose weight on a low fat diet? How about a high protein diet? Or maybe by hitting the gym?
- Food Intolerances
- Do you have a higher risk of gluten or lactose intolerance?
- Eating habits and preferences
- Are you at risk of over-consuming sugary or fatty foods?
- Injury Risk
- Can’t handle pain? What do your genes have to say about that?
- Physical Activity
- Do you have the potential to excel in cardio or strength activities?
Here’s how it works!
- We will collect a saliva sample – no needles involved!
- We send the sample to a lab for complete genetic analysis.
- The results are generated into a personalized report.
- Your dietitian will meet with you to discuss the results, and help you learn how to translate them into action!
