Gluten-free or lactose-free - that's the question

We are surrounded by thousands of books, TV shows and webinars with the latest techniques for creating the perfect body. All the authors and experts talk about the importance of a healthy diet, regular exercise and quitting bad habits, but they all mean different groups of foods and exercises.

A friend occasionally starves herself, experts on a popular TV programme recommend the ketodiet and a beauty blogger brandishes gluten.

Gathering the will in the fist and repeating with perfect precision a certain diet and exercise regime of another person may not achieve similar results. And by trial and error, it takes a long time to go through the 'easy ways' of achieving an ideal figure until one of them works. The problem is that there are no universal diets and many pieces of advice can be simply dangerous for the body.

Genes determine how our body's cells work. Mutations can lead to vitamin deficiencies and food intolerances.

The billions of tiny cells that make up the human body hold "instructions" for how our bodies work, including how we metabolize and absorb substances. They make people alike and different at the same time.

The human body is made up of cells, each of which stores information about our genetic characteristics in DNA molecules. We inherit our DNA from our parents, making us similar to them and at the same time, unique because of the combination of DNA molecules each person receives from both their mother and father.

Variants of the same gene that we inherit from our parents may be the same or different. Combinations of genetic variants determine our inherited characteristics.

Polymorphism of this gene affects your body mass index, the ratio of "bad" to "good" cholesterol in the blood and it is also associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Genetics of diet

Why do different people with similar diets and lifestyles experience different health problems? For a long time, scientists, doctors and nutritionists suspected that genetics played a significant role in determining how people respond to certain foods, but only in recent years have nutrigenetics and food genetic testing been able to explain the mechanisms of these individual differences.

Our genes influence our body's need for vitamins and micronutrients, energy absorption and expenditure, appetite and taste and determine our risk of developing chronic diseases. A DNA food test will determine all this.

In one study, men of the same age had a similar diet for a long time, depleted in fruit and vegetables but rich in salts and saturated fats. As a result, some developed hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and later atherosclerosis over time, while others had no chronic abnormalities. In another study, researchers followed women in adulthood with a similar diet, poor in vitamin D. Some developed liver dysfunction due to hypovitaminosis, while others had no such problems.

The individual body's need for vitamins and micronutrients and the optimum ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates can be determined by DNA testing. The diet must take the identified genetic peculiarities into account. You can find out about individual intolerance to foods such as milk, alcohol and gluten. This information is the basis for a balanced diet plan - whether your goal is to lose weight, gain muscle mass or have a balanced diet.

In order to draw up a well-balanced diet, individual genetic conditions need to be taken into account. Good nutrition is different for everyone. A genetic test will determine the right one for you. Your physician can analyse the foodstuffs in your diet and compare them with the identified intolerances.

Depending on which mutations the genetic test for food intolerances reveals, the doctor will be able to adjust the diet or prescribe additional tests.

Welcome to the future

The genetic test will detect genetic markers in children and adults that determine the absorption of vitamins and micronutrients, as well as intolerances to certain foods.

Worldwide delivery of the DNA test

We deliver the box to you, you study the enclosed instructions (or carefully read our website), submit your saliva and send the test back to us. All you have to do is wait for the results.

How to take the test

Receiving and analyzing the data

Specialists at the best laboratories in the world decode the sequence of your DNA fragments and interpret them. Usually the file obtained from this analysis weighs about 30 MB. The study takes 4-6 weeks but may take up to 60 days.

Access to personal data

The final results and recommendations are stored in your private office. There you will also collect the data you receive when you do a new site survey.

My Account

Personal information is stored in your personal cabinet and is only available after you have logged in, so no one will see it without your knowledge. As science advances every day, new methods are becoming available that allow us to decipher additional sections of DNA.

So stay tuned for more updates! In the meantime, see what we offer today.
