3 ways a genetic profile could save your health

Genetic profiling is a relatively new beast in the whole health field, so it’s understandable that most people don’t understand how it can direct your health to optimise wellness and prevent disease.

1. Save money

Do you know if you’re taking the right supplements for your body? Have you found that one supplement works well for a friend, but does nothing for you? By understanding your individual genetic profile, and your specific nutritional needs, any supplements can be tailored to support you at the foundational level of your DNA, giving you maximum benefit across multiple health domains and saving you money on supplements you don’t need.

2. Save time

Thrashing yourself at the gym and not losing weight? Trying yet another diet? Looking for another health practitioner that might understand why you feel unwell? By knowing where your body needs support you can direct your efforts exactly where it’s needed.

3. Save years

Want to live better, not just longer? It’s estimated that your DNA controls around 20% of your health outcomes, with the other 80% influenced by nutrition, environment, and activity. Directing your lifestyle choices to suit your individual genetic needs allows you to support your body right where it needs it, giving you a better chance of preventing many of the diseases we see on the increase today.
