What Genetic Analysis tells you about your genes and how it can help solve health issues & help with weight loss!

Using your raw DNA, Genetic Analysis shows you which genes are turned on or off into their adverse position.  ​

​It will give you complete details on: ​

• Metabolism: Is it fast or slow? Are you prone to food seeking behavior due to high levels of Ghrelin (hunger) Hormone?  Do you have the FTO Gene, know as the Fatso Gene, that makes your risk and rate of obesity very high. Is Intermittent Fasting for you or not and if so, what timing that is best for you.  
• Protein: How much you need and what types to eat.
• Fat: If saturated fats turn your Ghrelin hormone (hunger hormone) on & how much Saturated fat you can eat without doing that.
• Carbohydrates: Are they causing inflammation or blood sugar issues or both. What carbohydrates are okay to eat without causing issues.  
• Dairy: If you are lactose intolerant or not.
• Vitamins & Minerals: It lets you know which ones are safe for you to take dependent on your methylation rate.  i.e. If you under methylate you will need a methylated B12.  If you're a hyper methylator like I am you can cause insomnia and switch genes into their adverse position if you take methylated B12 or any type of B Complex. Do you make enough B12 or B6, vitamin D, Folate, and zinc and which ones to take and the amounts.   
• Serotonin: Do you make enough and how quickly you clear it out.
• Dopamine: Do you make enough and how quickly you clear it out.
• Short & Long Term Stress:  All about your stress hormones and how your body responds to stressful events with potential of switching a particular gene on or off.
• Cardiovascular:  If you have fast or slow twitch muscles or both and what type of exercise is best according to your genetics.  This lets you know if you are meant for sprinting for short periods or slow, long distance. It also tells you if you are more inclined to form cholesterol or not and if you're prone to heart disease.
• Resistance Training:  If you're made for light or heavy weight lifting and if you have increased subcutaneous weight gain when performing exercises with heavier weights.  
• General Section on Immune Health:  What genes are turned on or off in their adverse position increasing the rate of aging, lowered immune system, making you prone to cancer, neurological conditions, arthritis, preventing cell regeneration, shortening your life.  
• Inflammation:  If your inflammatory genes are turned on, then other genes can get switch on such as cancer genes, arthritic, stress hormones (high cortisol), hunger hormones, neurological, and genes that lower immune health, among many others. 
• Phase 1 & 2 Liver Pathways: Rates of methylation.  Are they too slow or fast.  Usually they are and they need to be in the middle.  This has the ability to switch genes into their adverse position.  
• Estrogen: Tells you if you have a higher production of cytochrome 17A1 enzymes with faster conversion of pregnenolone into DHEA, ultimately increasing your production of estrogen, which could cause hormonal  issues and cancers.  
• Testosterone:  If you have an increased production of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase leading to a higher conversion rate of the less active form into the more potent form dihydrotestosterone.  This can cause hormonal cancers and unwanted symptoms!
• Sleep:  If you have a gene clock disorder (sleep disorder) In my case, I learned that every time I got into stage 4 sleep, my body would wake me, causing inflammation and illness.  Many have this!
• Thyroid: If you body converts T4 into T3 or not, which you need for your thyroid to work normally.  If not, it slows causing hypothyroidism.  
• Longevity:  If you have lower levels of SIRT6 accelerating many of the processes involved in aging and slowing the repair of damaged tissue.  Low levels of this gene are associated with increased frailty and the progression of several chronic disease.  Sirt6 helps to slow many of the mechanisms involved in aging from inflammation and DNA repair to glucose metabolism and Autophagy.

At the end of the genetic analysis report if gives you a list of all the genes tested and if you have a normal allele or variant allele, or one of each (heterozygous). It provides lists of symptoms for the variant allele or heterozygous. .    
The best part about the Genetic Analysis Report: It tells you what you need to do, eat, take in order to switch these genes back on or off into their correct position.    That's Epigenetics! ​
