Following the Human Gene Map!

All human characteristics, from the color of the eyes, hair color and texture, height, shape of the face and body, to how a single cell formed an entire organism are encoded in the human genetic material, the DNA molecule! Particular segments of DNA, called genes control traits, characteristics, growth, development and overall good health.

Predictive Genomics

Predictive Genomics is the area of medicine that deals with the detection of specific common, low penetrance "changes" [mutations] in the DNA that determine desirable or undesirable traits & have been associated with increased risk to common polygenic - multifactorial diseases. These traits and risks can be modified by Medical, Pharmacological, Nutritional & Environmental intervention.

The philosophy of Predictive Genomics is based on the detection of increased risk to take appropriate early, individualized and personalized preventive measures and corrective actions to reduce the risk of diseases, to avoid obesity and exercise weight control, to stay healthier, look younger and to achieve peak athletic performance if so desired.

Health & Life-Style Predictive Genomics DNA Screening

The Predictive Genomics DNA Screening analyses approximately 150 genes and mutations that display strong associations [all supported by medical references] to biological systems related to:

►   Obesity Management

►   NutriGenetics & NutriGenomics

►   Health & Medical Care

►   Athletic Performance

►   Elite Lifestyle Choice & Anti-Aging

►   How Is It Done

The Genes and Mutation variants analyzed for the Predictive Genomics DNA Screening have been, to every extent possible, specifically selected to fulfill the following criteria:

Relevant: The Gene Variant exerts direct influence over the biological system of interest and directly relates to traits, symptom clusters, or disease. The biological effect of the variant is clearly documented in the Scientific literature.

Prelevant: The Gene Variant is relatively common in the general population. Every attempt has been made to exclude variants with less than 1% population frequency.

Modifiable: The effect of the Gene Variant is modifiable by Medical, Pharmaceutical, Nutritional, Environmental or Life-Style modifications.

Measurable: The impact of interventions that modify expression of the variants is measurable by laboratory assays when possible.

OBESITY MANAGEMENT PREDICTIVE GENOMICS DNA SCREENING

Genes affect fat storage and distribution in the body, as well as how easily fat is converted to energy through the process of burning calories.
Obesity Management Predictive Genomics DNA Screening aids in weight control by identifying both the specific nutritional needs of the body, as well as increased risk of certain chronic diseases. Thus, caloric restriction required for weight loss will be implemented for nutrients other than those identified as absolutely essential and will avoid long term health harm. It will also aid in Obesity Intervention decisions such as Pharmacological treatment through the use of appetite suppressants and consideration of invasive medical procedures.

Genes screened relate to the following biological processes:

     ►  Weight Loss

▪ Sense of Hunger and Fulfillment
▪ Energy intake vs. Energy expenditure
▪ Lipolysis - Thermogenesis

     ► Reward Deficiency Syndrome
