Nutrition & Wellness"One size does not fit all" - Unique nutrition requirements based on unique gene variations
Nutrigenomics is the study of how food and nutrients affect our gene expression. Nutrigenomics is concerned with the impact of dietary components on the genome, the proteome (the sum total of all proteins), and the metabolome (the sum of all metabolites). Much of the nutrigenomic focus has been on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), DNA sequence variations that account for 90% of all human genetic variation.
As “One Size does not fit all”, identifying unique nutrition requirements of individuals based on their unique gene variations is the need of this hour. Nutrigenomics aids to personalize and optimize nutrition, creating a path to better health. Our panels are designed such that each and every individual’s desires are met. Be it weight loss, food allergies or fitness.
Our Offering
Nutritionist Training
As a part of our support for Nutrigenomics report interpretation for the customers, we have collaborated with Nutritionists in Pune to counsel the customers on their Nutrigenomics report and also to provide them with Diet charts and diet plans according to their genetic information. So as to increase the number of Nutritionist counselors, we are also providing training to interested Nutritionist to understand the reports that are generated in the Nutrigenomics tests and help counsel patients accordingly.
Nutrigenomics is the functional interaction of diet and its components with the genome at the molecular, cellular, and systemic level. Nutritional genomics provides insight into how diet and genotype interactions affect the phenotype. Choosing nutrigenomics will definitely result in:
- Greater individualization of diet prescriptions
- Stronger foundation for nutrition recommendations
- Dietary prescriptions that manage and/or prevent certain diseases
Our Scientific experts will provide personal training to the interested Nutritionists for becoming potential Nutritionist counselors. The duration of the training is flexible with both online and offline program. For further information please contact us at info@raygenome.com.
