Fitgenes Health & Wellbeing

Have you ever wondered what changes you should make to improve your lifestyle and prevent you from getting sick? There are so many different opinions out there that it can be difficult to find out what is right for you.

Genetic Lifestyle Advice-tailored to your own, unique needs

Healthy lifestyle advice, tailored to your unique requirements. Change your lifestyle before health problems appear.

We will carefully assess your current lifestyle, wellbeing and health. Based on this information we can test different aspects of your body and suggest suitable changes. For example, we can test how much inflammation you have in your body or how you tolerate certain foods. Furthermore we can check how you digest carbohydrates and how easily you store fat. Based on this information, we can suggest certain supplements that work for you or give you dietary advice. Often we will be able to tell you what the right amount of exercise is for you and your physical health.

Healthy Lifestyle Advice should be tailored to your own personal needs.

For that reason, we look at your unique genetic make up. For example, we know that some people have a genetic profile that makes them store fat easily. If this was the case, we would simply recommend you to cut out fat from your diet. And just this simple change this could make you loose weight loss without the constant cycle of yo-yo dieting.

Look and feel your very best with a detailed assessment.

Other people have got a lower than normal function of one of their enzymes that process carbohydrates. In this case, we would recommend them to eat less carbohydrates, as they likely put on weight eating too many carbs.

A detailed genetic assessment can also assess how susceptible you are to inflammation. And even how you deal with stress can be related to your own genetic makeup. Based on that we can give you more comprehensive healthy lifestyle advice.

Just imagine having a health and beauty regime that perfectly fits your unique genetic make up.

Healthy lifestyle advice FAQ

The Health and Wellbeing Profile analyses a select range of genes that are key influencers of your general health, wellbeing and physical performance. While we cannot change our genes, we can modify the way that they express themselves with important lifestyle choices. For example, some people easily store carbohydrates and gain weight. If your test would show this, we would recommend you to reduce carbohydrates. In contrast, other people may not have a problem with carbohydrates but tend to store fat easily. In this case, we would recommend you to reduce fat in your diet but would not suggest that you eat less carbs.

All genes tested in this profile have been carefully selected on the basis of strong scientific evidence. Based on this analysis of your genes we can recommend early interventions with regard to nutrition, lifestyle and exercise, before health problems start to appear.

Our different Healthy Lifestyle Advice Reports are designed to help you improve your lifestyle. They examine different genes and how you express these genes. All of these genes are well researched and well understood. This allows us to provide you with scientific lifestyle advice proven to enhance your wellbeing and health.

Several tests are available that you can chose from. The most comprehensive test is the health and wellbeing test. This test looks at multiple different genes and how you express them. For example, there are some genes that make you more susceptible to inflammation. This increased inflammation in your body can cause muscle aches, fatigue and even depression and anxiety. In this case, we may recommend you to take certain supplements and increase antioxidants in your diet. In some cases, too much exercise could make this inflammation worse. And, interestingly, reducing the intensity of your exercise regime could improve fatigue and muscle aches.

Another example would be someone who is concerned about easy weight gain. In this case we would recommend to look at how our client processes and stores carbohydrates or fat. Based on that we can provide tailored dietary advice

The FoodChoice test helps you to understand your genetic ability to tolerate certain foods.
