Obesity is a complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity isn’t just a cosmetic concern. It is a medical problem that increases your risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.

Why me? The answer is Hidden in your DNA

The genes you inherit from your parents may affect the amount of body fat you store, and where that fat is distributed. Genetics may also play a role in how efficiently your body converts food into energy, how your body regulates your appetite, and how your body burns calories during exercise.

Obesity & weight loss DNA Test

This test will help you discover 43 genetic traits related to your diet, eating behaviors, nutritional needs, and more. The genes in our DNA help control virtually every aspect of our nutrition, from how we feel when we eat, to how we process and metabolize the nutrients and vitamins we consume. It will help to make diet decisions that positively match your body type and improve your weight loss chances.

The Science Behind The Test

DNA results reflect the genetic predisposition for certain aspects that affect metabolism, weight tendency, eating behavior, food intolerance, and exercise that fit the genetic makeup. There are certain genes that have the potential to impact how we perceive and desire particular foods, and influence our eating behaviors, such as excessive snacking and difficulty feeling full. Receive personalized recommendations and suggestions based on your results. The right diet does matter!

Obesity is a Serious Concern

Because it is associated with poorer mental health outcomes, reduced quality of life, and the leading causes of death in the U.S. and worldwide, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer. The impact of obesity is especially felt in osteoarthritis of the hip and knee joints. Every pound of body weight places four to six pounds of pressure on each knee joint.

What We Test?

Here you can see your genetic predisposition to certain foods, and what types of diets are the most advisable for you, depending on your genetic code.

Polyunsaturated Fats Sensitivity to Salt

We will analyze the genes that affect several vitamins and minerals, and your metabolism, so that you know which vitamins, and minerals you should eat more and which less.

Vitamin A Vitamin B2 Vitamin B6 Vitamin B12

Vitamin C Vitamin D Vitamin E Folate Omega-3

Omega-6 Calcium Copper Magnesium

We will see the genes that influence weight diet effectiveness. Some genes affect the tendency to gain weight, the difficulty of being satisfied, and the desire to eat. The most effective diet is not the same for everyone, and the answer may be in our genes. Your genetic information can be your best ally when planning your menu and achieving your goals.

Some genes will give us some curiosities like your possible ability to feel certain flavors with more intensity or if you are prone to sweet or pecking. Your body can be intolerant to some foods. We will also look at the genes that can influence the effects of caffeine and more.

An obesity gene causes people to eat too much. Previous studies had linked the gene to being overweight. Eating snacks between meals has the potential to promote satiety and suppress overconsumption at the subsequent meal. A genetic sensitivity to bitterness may lead to a decrease in the consumption of healthy, bitter foods.

How it Works?

The process is as simple as ordering a kit from our lab. When it arrives after 3 business days, you will collect a saliva sample with a quick cheek swab provided in the kit. Then, just send it back in the prepaid mailer, and we will send it to our Lab in the USA. Your results will be ready in 2-4 weeks. (Average time is 3 weeks).
