Human Genetics and the Importance of Nutrigenetics

Nutrigenetics Services at the Andaz Hotel in Liverpool Street

The Human Genome consists of thousands of genes. This genetic material is unique for each person, except for identical twins. There are certain factors that can cause genes to be silenced (turned off) or expressed (turned on) over time. In fact, a large number of studies have shown that genes can be activated and deactivated by signals from factors such as exercise, nutrition, stress and toxins, which may have a huge impact on overall health and wellbeing.  

 

Each individual is unique (genotype), and Nutrigenetics is the science that focuses on individual characteristics and how the genetic makeup affects the specific nutritional needs, the metabolism and the predisposition to develop diseases. The information about the individual characteristics is obtained through DNA testing.    

 

Taking a sample for DNA testing is simple and non-invasive – it involves rubbing a cotton swab inside the cheek, against the gums and inside behind the lips to collects some loose cells, which are used for DNA testing.

 

We provide DNA testing for Nutrigenetics, as well as lifestyle assessment in order to analyse how your diet, lifestyle, environment and habits may be affecting your health and wellbeing. We utilise this information to create a diet tailored for your specific needs, in order to maintain optimal health and wellbeing, and help prevent the development of diseases.
