DNA Diet provides insight into:

• Individual diet and exercise responsiveness
• Optimal macronutrient distribution for effective weight loss
• Weight-loss resistance and/or weight gain after weight loss
• Optimal exercise intensity for weight loss

The Gene-Diet Interface

In recent years, the Human Genome Project has led scientists to a deeper understanding of the complex molecular processes governing the human body. One of its significant findings was the variability in individual responses to diet, which can now be explained at the genetic level. Variations in DNA can have a profound effect on nutritional requirements, metabolic efficiencies and an individual’s ability to lose and maintain their weight.

Backed by Science

Despite the overwhelming evidence of the role of genetics in the development of obesity, most weight-management programmes focus exclusively on dietary restriction and physical activity, while demonstrating huge variability in individual response to these interventions. From the approximately 25 000 identified human genes that produce the proteins that control our biological processes, the research team at DNALife has identified a small group of genes associated with weight loss resistance, lipolysis, body mass index (BMI), muscle mass, and body fat. All genes selected have met stringent criteria for validity and utility within clinical genetic screening test results.

Seeing Results

Recent international clinical trials have reported that nutrigenomics-based weight-management programmes significantly outperform traditional weight-management programmes by an order of magnitude.

By describing how genetic variations interact with diet and environmental factors to influence the regulation of body weight and fat mass
by harnessing individuals’ genetic responses to dietary components and physical activity and through the implementation of a personalised gene- based intervention programme.

The DNA Diet genetic test panel offers an effective means for supporting the management of healthy body weight, by guiding the planning of personalised diet and exercise programmes based on an individual’s genetic make-up and genetic differences in metabolism, fat loss and dietary fat absorption.
