Nutritional Genomics
Discover what your genetic make-up reveals about you:
​
-What is your optimal diet?
-Which exercise types provide maximum benefit, and are you giving your self enough recovery time?
​
-Why targeted weight loss strategies​ make a difference for you?

-Are there specific nutrients or foods your body needs more or less of?
​
-Which areas might need extra support or monitoring?
​
​
*There are two options for this analysis
-you provide a raw DNA file from ancestry, 23andme, or Genos.co which is then uploaded into a platform for analysis
​
-I send you a testing kit from 3x4 Genetics
Group seminars
Learn about a nutrition topic of your groups choosing or work as a group towards a health goal . Sessions are conducted via Zoom (After COVID19 sessions may take place at a group members home)
Other functional lab tests performed
functional testing provides a greater depth of information than standard blood and urine testing. Examples of functional tests and information obtained:
​
Dried and 24 hour urine hormone testing:
-
Reveals your bodies tendencies towards the production of 4-OH estrone, which is mutagenic and associated with breast cancer
-
Evaluates testosterone levels, and if your testosterone is being converted into estrogen
-
Provides information about your melatonin production. This hormone most associate with sleep naturally decreases with age. The catch is, it serves at least two additional purposes- neuroprotective and anti-inflammatant
​
Comprehensive Stool analysis:
-
A good starting point if there is a history of IBS or other digestive ailments
-
Reveals:
-
basic GI microbiome ​health
-
The bodies ability to fully digest foods consumed- symptoms associated with incomplete digestion include- bloating, gas, flatulence, feeling of fullness, exhaustion after eating, diarrhea and/or constipation
-
Inflammation within the GI tract
-
​
Organic acid test:
-
A good second step in the understanding of ones health. this urine test is especially helpful when there is a history of low energy, difficulty with focus or attention, or mood swings
-
Results provide a functional evaluation of your bodies ability to biochemically:
-
(think back to 9th grade biology--cellular respiration and ATP)- Process and breakdown macronutrients
-
Process neurotransmitters
-
-
Reveals challenges with yeast overgrowth or inflammation due to microbial organisms and their metabolites
