influence how we respond to the foods, beverages and supplements we
consume. Personalized recommendations can then be developed based on your unique genetic profile.

client’s current dietary and fitness habits, preferences or restrictions. I will then
help them to generate SMART goals to optimize their nutrition status with the
ultimate goal of improving their overall health and wellness outcomes.
We offer the following Nutrigenomix reports depending on your health and
lifestyle goals:
The Health and Wellness Report – focuses on achieving optimal health for clients who are pursuing general well-being.
The HealthPlus+ Report: This report analyzes the same 70 genetic markers as
the Health and Wellness Report but also includes markers that affect the function of enzymes involved in the metabolism of important hormones such as estrogen and androgens and detoxification of their by-products. Also included are markers that affect the function of enzymes involved in DNA methylation, a crucial process for adequate cell development.

help couples trying to conceive to optimize their fertile potential and maintain a
healthy pregnancy.

performance-related recommendations that will help fitness enthusiasts and
athletes boost their physical and mental performance.
