Your DNA are not engraved stone tablets. Every moment – of every day – they are in constant communication with your thoughts, your environment, what you eat, what you drink and the very air you breathe.
How your genes are expressed are connected to all those subtle intersections of your physical material, your intellectual life, your social life, your physical life and your spiritual life.
This is a new focus of scientists and doctors called Epigenetics. Here is a short video by Dr. Anthony G. Jay, President & Founding Director of the International Medical Research Collaborative.
Genetic testing has moved into the mainstream and is the future of preventive health. In addition to the thousands of tests being offered for medical conditions and diseases, the science and research behind genetic testing related to lifestyle and wellness markers has progressed to the point of understanding the specific genes dictating how the human body processes carbohydrates, fat, protein, micro-nutrients, etc., and how specific genes determine the effectiveness of certain fitness activities.
With the genetic testing technology and scientific understanding of the human genome available today, it is now possible to develop individually tailored nutrition and exercise programs that are based on and tailored to your unique DNA. Only now has the cost of genetic testing come down to the point where it is feasible to use this technology for health management programs offered to the general public.
Clinical studies and research on genetic testing related to lifestyle and wellness markers have been rapidly increasing in quality and volume since the human genome was first mapped in 2003. As the testing technology improves and the cost of analyzing an individual’s DNA decreases, more research facilities and universities around the world are able to perform more research studies with larger test subject groups, all leading to more being discovered about the connections between genetics and preventive health.
Programs tailored to an individual’s DNA have proven to be much more effective than generic programs. A recent study published by the European Society of Human Genetics found that dieters employing weight management programs tailored to the individual’s genome lost up to 33% more weight than those following standard, “one size fits all” weight loss programs. With the latest genomic technology, any health management program that does not take an individual’s genetic profile into account is simply guesswork.
A Well Run Life is now offering, in conjunction with its partner lab, The Personalized Health Management DNA Test.
Here are samples of the information you will receive:
What Nutrients Do I Need?
How Does My Body Respond To Different Types of Exercise?
How Does My HDL Respond To Cardio?
Here is how the Process Works:
Place your order. After you order the DNA Collection Kit, we will mail it to the address you provide.
When the kit arrives, use our simple kit to collect a saliva sample and mail it back to us in the packaging provied. You will simply rub the sterile cotton swab in the kit along your gums for one minute, pack the sample up and send it to the lab using the addressed box that comes with the kit.
The federally certified lab will analyze your sample and within 5-6 weeks and identify your genotype.
Once the lab report is ready, A Well Run Life will e-mail you the final report.
Should you need help taking this information and making a new lifestyle plan, A Well Run Life offers 45-Minute Phone consultations.
If you have questions, e-mail Info@awellrunlife.com
