GENE TESTING Kits
GENE TESTING: THE ULTIMATE IN PERSONALIZED PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE How would you like to know exactly what you have to do to minimize your risk of becoming obese. Or would you like to control your risk of getting cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic disorder? The mapping of the human genome has been the open sesame to genetic research into the relationship between the influence of specific genes and major diseases. Empowering you in staying healthy This research, coupled with the current explosion in nutritional and exercise research, means doctors and researchers are rapidly expanding their understanding of the complicated relationships between genetics and lifestyle factors which influence health and wellbeing. For instance if you have the mutated gene which makes you susceptible to breast or prostate cancer you not only need to be vigilant in having regular tests but you can modify your diet so you include lots of those foods which have been shown to decrease your risk of getting either cancer and stop eating those foods which may increase your risk. And you can make sure you do the amount of exercise which has also been shown to be helpful in decreasing cancer risk Genetics is NOT destiny Genetics is NOT destiny but it is a clear signal to each one of us individually to pay heed to those aspects of our genetic inheritance which may impact on our health. When I interviewed him, Dr Denis Rebic who runs the well known integrative medicine Clinic ‘Well Life House’ said,
“It’s important to understand what genetic testing can and can’t do. It can tell you what your genetic susceptibility is to various major diseases. It can’t say whether you will definitely get those diseases. Its usefulness lies in giving you choices. Once you know you have a genetic susceptibility to a major disease then you have the choice of responding positively by managing your health to minimize risk. I think that’s much better than either operating in the dark or worrying unnecessarily, don’t you?” Could gene testing help keep you slim? Of course I asked Dr Rebic about gene testing, weight management and the obesity epidemic because it’s such a big concern for individuals and for society in general. He said; “Genetic testing may be really helpful in helping prevent obesity. It can indicate whether you have those genes which compromise your nutritional uptake or predispose you to obesity. Once you have that information an individualized, nutritious and tasty diet can be designed to maximize your health and help keep your weight at the level you choose. You see it always comes down to increasing your choices.” The power of personalized medicine What an amazing concept, personalized medicine especially tailored to your genetic profile and your health needs. Gone is a lot of the hit and miss approach to keeping healthy. Instead your medical team can support you with a diet, exercise and nutritional supplement plan designed to meet your specific health needs. Then it’s up to you. How great to know you can play such and direct and positive role in helping to prevent possible future health problems related to your genetic inheritance. |
