FITGENES

Fitgenes is personalised medicine at its best. Understanding how you tick at a DNA level has never been more achievable. Fitgenes is a world leader in developing genetic profile reports that provide personalised dietary, lifestyle and exercise interventions. Fitgenes genetic profile reports are evidence-based, incorporating published scientific literature on nutrigenomic outcomes.

Fitgenes DNA reports analyse a select range of genes that are key influencers of your general health, wellbeing and performance. Focusing on specific cellular processes including inflammation, cellular defence, oxidative stress, detoxification/methylation, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, they are designed to enable a highly targeted approach for each individual. These reports are powerful tools in helping gain a deeper understanding of the drivers involved in numerous complex and chronic diseases along with weight control, hormonal issues, fatigue and unexplained illnesses.

If you are wanting to go to the next level to reach your health goals, maximise your wellness and reduce the risk of chronic disease progression then Fitgenes may be right for you.

What are genetic reports?

Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics

THE BASIS OF DNA

To better understand nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics, you could start by understanding what genes are and how they are related to your health.

Our genome consists of around 30,000 genes.

A gene is, essentially, a DNA sequence that produces a molecule with a function.

Humans share 99.9% of the same DNA. The remaining 0.1% is what makes us unique, including characteristics such as our height and eye colour, as well as our risk for developing health conditions, including diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

Nutrigenomics is the study of how nutrients influence the way genes behave in the body and is a rapidly growing field of science that influences health outcomes.

DIET AND GENES INTERACT IN A RECIPROCAL WAY

Nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics are the link between diet and genes. Nutrigenetics is the science that studies genetic variants associated with differential response to nutrients, while nutrigenomics is a whole system approach that investigates how nutrients can affect gene expression. Other factors, such as exercise and lifestyle, can also affect gene expression.

The interaction between your genes and the environment (diet, exercise, etc) has the strongest effect on your health.

The health and wellbeing report takes a broad look at your overall genetic profile and is an important piece of the puzzle helping you to maximise your potential for healthy living and healthy ageing. This report analyses a select range of genes that are key influencers of your general health, wellbeing and performance. Focusing on specific cellular processes including inflammation, cellular defence, oxidative stress, detoxification/methylation, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, they are designed to enable a highly targeted approach for each individual. This report is a powerful tool in helping gain a deeper understanding of the drivers involved in numerous complex and chronic diseases along with weight control, hormonal issues, fatigue and unexplained illnesses.

The CarbChoice report is more targeted to weight management and focuses on understanding how your body metabolises and tolerates starch carbohydrates. Some of us do not produce sufficient levels of amylase to effectively process starch carbohydrates. The result being that some people may gain weight or have other issues as a result of not breaking down starch adequately.

Based on your AMY1 Copy Number (“CarbChoice® number”) your report will contain dietary, lifestyle and exercise recommendations that can unlock your body’s ability to process carbohydrates. Discover foods to avoid or increase to optimise weight management and the best forms of exercise to enhance your performance and recovery.
