The Truth is Inside...How to Use Your Unique Genetic Profile to Make Important Health Decisions Yes, the truth is within each of our bodies. Wouldn't you like to be able to see the future? Or maybe you have seen a possible future in your father, mother, grandfather or grandmother. Will that be you? What can you do about it? Although our genetic make-up is predetermined, we have the chance to make a difference in what might be our destiny. The study of genetics has been greatly improved through recent advances in technology and gene identification. Through gene identification, we can find out what conditions we are most likely to develop. From there, it is up to each of us to make choices and decisions that will prevent these problems. These choices have to do with our lifestyle and environment. The lifestyle we live and the environments we choose to be in are considered choices we have control over. We have control over: - WHAT WE EAT Ð a diet high in fat and low in fruits and vegetables adds to cardiac health risks.
- WHAT WE DRINK Ð consumption of a high volume of soda, caffeine, or alcohol can all affect our state of hydration, our ability to clear our bodies of waste products and cause us to age faster.
- WHAT WE SMOKE Ð smoking can lead to serious health issues and affects the function of our entire respiratory system.
- WHETHER WE EXERCISE Ð exercise will support cardiac health and keep bones, muscles, and joints strong.
- WHETHER WE GET ADEQUATE REST - our bodies need time to replenish our energy stores each day. Lack of sleep causes daytime irritability, moodiness, and a lack of ability to focus.
- WHERE WE LIVE - we can choose to live in an urban area with high levels of pollution or in a more rural area with cleaner air. A high level of pollution adds to the toxins and waste products that our body must clear daily.
- THE STRESS LEVEL IN OUR LIVES - a constant high level of stress in our lives causes our entire body to have to work harder. It lessens our ability to fight off illnesses, it stresses our cardiovascular system and makes us age faster.
As thinking human beings, we can, to some extent, control our lifestyle and environment and ultimately change our future. The information contained in your Integrative Genomics' Profile will give you the information to make the best preventive lifestyle and environment choices. You can be confident that this profile is safe, easy, confidential and effective. Talk to your healthcare practitioner today to find the truth inside. Frequently Asked Questions: What is a gene?
Genes are the guideposts of life. When we are born, our gene pattern is already established. Our individual genes are a blend of the DNA from our biological mother and our biological father.Are my parents' medical histories indicative of my medical future?
Yes and no. While all of our genes come from our parents, some are dominant (displayed) and some are recessive (hidden.) Genes may be passed down in either a dominant or recessive state. This may or may not be the same as the state of that gene in your parents. They can have a recessive gene that is passed on to you in a dominant state. They may have a dominant gene that is passed on to you in a recessive state. Though your parents' medical history may give you some idea of what your medical future will be, your medical future will not be exactly the same as your parents.How should I use my own profile results?
Review your results with your healthcare practitioner. They can make recommendations on lifestyle changes that can support your optimal health. Your healthcare practitioner also has information about options that may be of help, including dietary supplement information.Does the testing hurt?
No, the testing is non-invasive. Integrative Genomics' has the only patented, FDA-reviewed, non-invasive, self-administered DNA collection system. The test kit contains cotton-tipped swabs that are rubbed along the inside of your cheek. The entire process simply takes about 10 minutes.Are the results valid?
Yes, Integrative Genomics' has recently created a powerful methodology for Genetic profiling based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The Integrative Genomics™ Profile assessment you receive from your physician is a remarkable new tool for directing personalized wellness and your quality of life. These assessments are tailored to your individualized needs and based on the science of genetics.
