Nutrigenomics

Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics are growing fields in the health and wellness industry. This has made MTHFR, COMT and methylation buzz words in many circles. Understanding your genes and measuring their expression empowers you to make real changes to your health.

Nutrigenomics or Nutritional Genomics look at the relationship between the genes you are born with and how your lifestyle, diet and environment influences their expression.

GENETICS LOAD THE GUN, BUT ENVIRONMENT PULLS THE TRIGGER

This is an important concept because so many people focus on their genetic polymorphisms. First of all, a genetic polymorphism is NOT a defect. It is an evolutionary adaptive mechanism that the body use as compensation.

We have to look more at the switching ‘on’ and ‘off’ of genes which are predominantly regulated by environment, diet, lifestyle and stress factors.

So, it is about focusing on the things you can change rather than the things you can not.

Functional Diagnostics
‘Be careful what you test for as you may just have to interpret it’. We interpret many different kinds of tests, but it’s our ability to see patterns and look for ratio’s, and connecting them all together that helps you make sense of your health and your symptoms.
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease and views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialities. It treats the whole system, not just the symptoms.
