Genetic Testing and Nutritional Genomics

What Is Nutritional Genomic Testing?

Polygenic diseases, which are linked to two or more genes, are on the rise. These include conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular risks, and type 2 diabetes. Ongoing research is enhancing our understanding of how gene sequencing and environmental factors affect our genetic patterns with genetic testing.

At SO Nutrition, we use nutritional genomic testing to analyze your DNA through a simple saliva test called Nutrigenomix™. This test provides individualized results that help us develop targeted nutrition therapies based on your genetic makeup, dietary intake, and specific health goals. With this powerful information, you’ll understand your genetic predisposition to various diseases.

What Is Nutrigenomix™?

Nutrigenomix™ is an emerging field of study focusing on how genes and their variations are influenced by nutrition, dietary bioactives, and environmental factors. This testing identifies how your genes respond to nutrients and impacts your risk for nutrition-related chronic diseases.

How Does Nutrigenomix™ Testing Work?

At SO Nutrition, we use Nutrigenomix™ testing to analyze 70 genetic markers. This comprehensive panel allows us to create a personalized nutrition program tailored to your specific DNA. By understanding your genetic makeup, we can predict your responses to different foods, beverages, and supplements.

The process is simple:

Collect a saliva sample.
Send the sample to the lab for analysis.
Receive a detailed report.
Review the results with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
