Are you looking for strategic answers to your health?

Welcome everyone, I trust you had a lovely restful summer, ready to continue our health journey. This month’s blog is reaching out from a scientific approach yet integrative.
Today’s mainstream medicine understands the role of DNA, but how much do they know about genetic testing and apply in their practice to benefit the wellbeing of their patients.
I would like to talk about this innovative genetic testing product called Blueprint. It is a genetic information put into a platform, that now, will be understood and uses layman’s terms, to help patients seek answers they have been looking for and allows practitioners to convey their message clearer. I will elaborate further throughout the text.
Some people might be reluctant to take any test for various reasons. One, that I can relate with is, the test results concludes to be negative hence altering our state of mind and emotions. Automatically labeling the results to a specific condition that we cannot change because of our genetic code testing. People might feel identified with this condition! This test is not a diagnosis, it is a report to help guide you towards your optimal version of health. Your very own “owner’s manual”.
This blueprint is an inside scoop, the knowledge to helps us understand the underlying causes of any potential condition. This test will allow you and practitioner to be pre-emptive with your health so you can seek prevention and screening techniques before serious complication develop.
Furthermore, it reveals how your genes may be impacting your current health and nutrient status such as Vit D3, C, E, A and many more. For instance: should you avoid gluten or dairy products? How your body converts VitA or omegas can determine whether you should take a plant base or animal base of a certain supplements. Choosing the most effective products to address your health concern’s base on your genetic predisposition can help determine how well you effectively digest, absorb and utilize these nutrients.

Other area’s that this test will be covering are;
• Hormonal health: thyroid, testosterone and estrogen level
• Obesity: regulation of appetite and food intake, eating behavior, genetic risk score for obesity, preference for dietary fat.
• Physical fitness: What is your susceptibility to injury? How quickly you can recover after workout.
• Mental wellness: Focusing on 4 genes that impact your moods, stress resiliency, cognition and emotional state.
• Detoxification: how your body removes toxins or/and how quickly the efficiency of these pathways.
• Diet: an individually tailored diet that strikes your delicate balance.
• Allergies and sensitivities: depending on your genetic makeup, you might be predisposed to being sensitive or intolerant to certain foods and substance.
• Specific Nutrients needs: What does your genes say about how your body responds to certain nutrients(vitamins-minerals).

In conclusion, although we age, our genetic blueprint does not change, this test can teach us how are genes influence our hormones, the ability to lose weight, detoxification pathways, predisposition to nutrients deficiency, which will allow us to make conscious decision and vital choices to strengthen our bodies. I believe this test can be a guideline to our longevity for years to come and to our next generation.
Wishing good health and good living!
