Ever wonder what DNA testing could do for weight loss?
Perhaps more than you think!Nutrient intake and physical activity are essential factors affecting body weight, body composition, energy metabolism, and energy utilization. However, research on genomes shows that 70% of body weight can be explained by genetic factors. This is done through mechanisms such as a susceptibility to gaining or losing weight in response to a given diet, through increased or decreased appetite, and through lipid over-absorption.
There are many claims of what constitutes "the best diet". Some tout veganism, others carnivorism, some high-carb, others low-carb. It is natural to be bewildered by all this -- we believe that what constitutes your best diet depends on your genetic profile.
Studies have shown that certain genes can be regulated or are influenced by nutrition and that these variations may have beneficial actions on health. Furthermore, some relatively common genes are known to influence nutrient requirements. These genetic markers may signal susceptibilities to certain health conditions. Our DNA testkits provide output of genetic analysis on a range of genes. Testing is easy: spit in a tube and send it to us. In your reports you will receive actionable results and advice for achieving your optimal body weight and fat composition.
Ever wondered why there are so many conflicting expert opinions regarding the ultimate weight-loss diet? Perhaps it is because a universal diet doesn't exist but that it is down to your genetic constitution. Nutrient intake and physical activity are essential factors affecting body weight, body composition, energy metabolism, and energy utilization. However, not everyone responds to the same exercise and diet regimes n the same way. Indeed, a large part of our ability to gain or lose weight is down to our genes, which are involved in the susceptibility to gaining or losing weight in response to a given diet, to appetite, lipid over-absorption, and more.
More Info
This kit provides actionable results to achieve your ideal weight, identifying lifestyles that are apt for your genetic makeup. The report places you in one of four diet camps: low carb, low carbohydrate, high protein, or balanced according to your genetic makeup.
Tables of foodstuffs specific to your profile are included to aid you in your meal choices. In addition, the report includes a description of the best type of physical exercise for your body.
The DNA test kit from Persometrics requires a saliva sample to be returned to our lab. From this, we provide you with a report to tell you about your fat and carbohydrate sensitivity and weight-loss ability. We list provide recommended diets and physical activities based on your genetic profile. The report gives results and advice on: -Propensity of obesity, -Your satiety in response to food (feeling full), -Fat sensitivity, -Carbohydrate sensitivity, -Cravings, -Weight regain risk, -Your optimal intensity of exercise, -Your optimal type of exercise and -Your optimal diet (proportion of fats, carbohydrates, and protein).
