Do you have an unexplained and difficult to manage chronic condition and want to know more about the possible:

underlying role of your genes?
role and mechanisms of nutrition and toxins on gene function?
effects of genes on health outcomes?
treatments options for optimum health and wellness?

About

Research into the possible role of genes in many chronic illnesses has involved a lot of myth busting and revealing of new truths.

There is a dynamic interaction between our genes, which we inherit from our parents and our environment. Nutritional intake and toxins are two major environmental factors that interact with our genes, and may affect our health and wellness. The process involves metabolic pathways such as methylation, detoxification, oxidative stress and inflammation.

You can better know how well your genes function with the help of medical, pharmacological and functional genetic profiling, together with medication, nutritional and toxin exposure assessments.

Each person’s situation is unique, and so requires a personalized approach.
