genetic testing

Did you know that your DNA remains fixed for life, but the expression of your genes (whether they are switched on or off) remains flexible? This is great news because your genetic predisposition to a certain disease may not manifest if you maintain a good diet and lifestyle.

Numerous studies on twin pairs have confirmed this finding. Despite sharing identical DNA, often only one twin would develop a disease. The differences in diet and lifestyle were significant factors influencing the behavior of their genes.

Factors such as your diet, lifestyle, and thoughts can change how your genes function despite your genotype. You can compare it to a piano and the music it produces. The piano is your DNA, and the pianist is your diet, lifestyle, and thoughts. Depending on the skills, mood, or intentions of the pianist, the piano will produce different outcomes.

Remember, your family health history and the genes you have inherited from your mum and dad do not necessarily determine whether you will develop the same disease as they did. Research studies confirm that only 5-7% of all diseases are caused by genes; the majority are due to the way you eat and live. It is your environment and diet that dictate your health in most cases.

Did you know that a queen bee is actually a worker bee that has the expression of a set of genes altered by differences in diet? The differences in her diet extend the life of a queen bee up to 5 years versus 40 days for a worker bee, despite all bees having the same DNA!

Genetic testing allows you to get a better understanding of your individual needs and what to focus your attention on for optimal health and well-being.

Having precise instructions on what you should eat, how you should exercise, what nutrients to focus on, and what areas of health to pay particular attention to is the best prevention ever and the way to achieve optimal health!
