Gene Health Analysis

A common misconception is that our inherited genes determine our fate in life. In fact, extensive research is now showing that this is not necessarily so. It is true that we can't change our inherited genes, but we can compensate for their influence by making the right nutritional, fitness and lifestyle choices for our specific needs.

Our genes determine our body's response to the food we eat, physical activity and our lifestyle choices, and therefore can have a pronounced influence on our health. Nutrigenomics is the ability we have to influence the effects of various gene expression using specific and targeted nutrition, fitness and lifestyle interventions. The objective of this discipline is to translate the most recent genetic research into practical everyday applications for improving your fitness, health and nutrition outcomes.

You can now discover how you can keep your gene expression happy with individual gene testing of 40 of the most common genes relating to health wellness and weight management. These are not the genes that are related to disease (such as the BRCA-1 breast cancer gene), we are only interested in the genes that have proven modifiable outcomes.

Many of our genes are essentially like a "dimmer switch" for a light – they can be "dialled up" or "dialled down" depending on what foods we choose to put into our mouth and the type of movement and lifestyle we engage in.

Our 'Fitgenes Certified Practitioners' at Natremed will use your personal genetic profile combined with nutrigenomic principles to proactively target your long term health potential. The genes tested relate to weight management, sugar metabolism, heart health, inflammation and pain regulation, immune management, bone health as well as fitness and exercise.

Our Gene Health Programs are suited to any individual who is interested in learning about their inherited gene variants, and how to modify their outcomes for the purpose of longevity, happiness and health.

Natremed offers gene health packages including:

• Gene testing and a detailed genetic profile report
• Health assessment using Hemaview, VLA or Urine and Saliva Analysis to assess where your health is at now and to monitor your progress
• Dietary analysis and planning
• Movement and fitness analysis and planning
• Stress management techniques
• Superfoods cooking classes

The area of research into gene health, diet and lifestyle is constantly growing. The CSIRO research in Australia can be followed here.
