Nutrigenomics

The best dietary choices for your genetic profile

Your unique genetic profile is revealed with a simple saliva test. Once your DNA blueprint is created, the experts at our natural medicine clinic in Milwaukee begin the process of nutrigenomics. Nutrigenomics is a new frontier in personalized medicine that we use to create a unique plan to benefit your health and well-being.

The science behind nutrigenomics

Nutrigenomics is based on solid science, and major research universities now have departments that focus on the study of this new field. As we learn more about genes, we are discovering the ways that your genes interact with the various nutrients in your diet. Everyone is unique, which means that everyone metabolizes nutrients differently. It also means that people may require different vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients in order to reach their optimum health.

Nutrigenomics provides health benefits in four key areas

The professionals at our natural medicine clinic in Milwaukee use nutrigenomics to help patients determine the types and amounts of nutritional supplements they may require, along with other treatment plans that can prevent and treat various health conditions.

• Weight loss—Everyone does not lose weight at the same pace or in the same way, so there isn’t one diet that suits everyone. Nutrigenomics allows us to use your genetic profile to determine the foods and supplements that will work best for you in your weight loss journey.
• Lipid metabolism—We can create a lipid profile using nutrigenomics. This informs us about the best way to help control your cholesterol levels using diet and supplements. High cholesterol contributes to several health problems, including heart disease.
• Detoxification—The way that your liver copes with various substances and dietary and environmental toxins is unique. You may be much more sensitive to caffeine, for example, than your best friend. Maybe he can drink three cups of strong coffee each day without having side effects, but your genetic profile may tell us that you should limit caffeine to feel your best.
• Wellness—Nutrigenomics at our natural medicine clinic in Milwaukee provides our integrative health team with a unique opportunity. It allows us to use your genetic profile to create a proactive wellness plan that will keep you as healthy as possible.
