There is a chance that the diet that you are currently on might not be right for you. Everyone has different needs. By focusing on what our body requires rather than hopping on the latest fad diet, you will be able to find the diet that best works for you long term. The genes comprising the NutraNourish DIET test have associations with body weight, metabolism and exercise and all meet stringent criteria for utility in genetic screening tests. NutraNourish DIET helps optimise diet and exercise interventions in order to treat and prevent weight gain and obesity. Results provide personalised nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle strategies for the clients.

Genes involved in regulation of energy expenditure, appetite, and fat metabolism, all play an important role in weight regulation. In fact 40% to 80% of the variance in body weight is due to genetic factors. This helps to explain why not everyone gains or loses weight while following the same diet, despite being exposed to similar environments. Identifying an individual’s responsiveness to diet and lifestyle modification to control weight can be extremely advantageous.
