Why Should I Personalize My Nutrition?



Up until now, every other vitamin and supplement on the market has been designed for the “average person”. Many nutritional companies are even aware of the fact that their supplements do not work for up to 2/3 of the population.

Have you ever wondered why some products work so well for some people and not for others? It’s because every single person on this planet is different, and our DNA proves that. We come in all shapes and sizes with a vast array of nutritional needs.

Odds are, you are probably spending money on supplements right now that may or may not be working for your specific body. Not only could you be throwing away money, but you might also be depriving your body of the support it truly needs.

Other companies in the past have provided metabolic testing through blood and urine samples to personalize nutrition. The problem with these methods is that they are extremely variable, and dependent on your body’s metabolism. As you know, your metabolic rate changes daily depending on the time of day or what you’ve eaten.

DNA testing is the only surefire way to get to the root of your body’s genetic needs. Your DNA is the only thing that NEVER changes and is what can give you the most precise look into your body’s make-up.
DNA testing is becoming more and more prevalent in our society, especially in the areas of health and nutrition. DNA has been the hot topic of the news and media over the past few years, clearly dictating the trends towards gene-specific nutritional and health programs:

"DNA analysis can identify potential health problems and prevent drug reactions." -- MSNBC 1/25/2005

“Genetic testing sounds like a concept straight out of a science fiction novel. But this chance to peek into the future of your health is an opportunity some people are taking today. People with a family history of certain medical conditions can plan for their futures by understanding their health risks." -- CNN 4/12/2006


By customizing nutrition to your unique genetic profile, you can rest assured that you are providing your body with EXACTLY what it needs for optimum health.  Call me personally for more information .... 303-919-8627.

How Accurate is the DNA Testing Technology?



There are several types of methods to determine DNA polymorphisms (SNPs). GeneLink utilizes the Single Base Chain Extension (SBCE) assay which is the most accurate method availalbe to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms. The SBCE assay identifies the (SNP) directly on the DNA.

The profile accuracy is nearly 100%. The assay is performed robotically, which virtually eliminates human error in sample manipulation. In rare instances, when a particular SNP area of a profile 'does not read', it is repeated. All repeats thus far have been successful.

Have You Ever Had Your DNA Tested?

You know why you want to take the test ... here are answers to how and what is done with your test ....

Frequently Asked Questions...


Why should I use a GeneLink Profile Assessment for personalizing my nutritional skin care programs?
Not everyone is alike - and not everyone responds to nutrients, topical active ingredients or even medicines in the same way.
In the absence of a sophisticated measurement tool such as GeneLink's Nutragenetics and Dermagenetics Profile Assessment, most people are forced to simply guess which nutritional and skin care products are right for them.
GeneLink's powerful Nutragenetic and Dermagenetic Profile Assessments provides a scientific basis for more accurately predicting your unique needs.  This information is used to guide tailored nutritional and skin care formulations to help you achieve optimal health and performance.
You can expect superior results, improved healthy aging benefits and the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are taking advantage of a scientifically personalized program that is focused on your unique physiologic makeup.
Yours in health,
Rhonda

A Good Self-Prescription


We anticipate rapid advances in knowledge related to SNPs in the genes of many metabolic pathways.  Therefore, we have a vigilant process in place to continually identify SNPs that have potential preventative and helath maintenance relavance.

With over half of all adult Americans using supplements, the benefits of being able to more precisely target an individual's nutritional needs seem ovbious.  Imagine a world in which we know exactly which, or how much of a vitamin, mineral, or nutritional regimen we need for optimal health, energy and well being.  For the clinicians and practioners who believe their patient's health interests are best served by cutting edge science, keeping a sharp eye on new advances in genetic science seems a self-prescription worth observing!

Man Up and Take Care of Your Skin



Where did the idea come from that using skin care is a feminine thing?

Men pioneered skin care long before women ever tried it. In fact it was the manly-men who used it first — fishermen and farmers.

Men used to be smart about their skin — they protected themselves from the harsh elements with lotions and creams and no one felt like a sissy. But then something changed and all of a sudden it’s a chick thing.
If using deodorant was a chick thing, would you skip that, too? What about brushing your teeth? You put on sun screen when you’re out in the sun, right? Why? To protect your skin!

So using a serum to protect and repair your skin is not much different.
Especially if the product is designed specifically for your DNA. It’s not feminine, unless you are.
If taking care of yourself isn’t enough to convince you, lets talk money.
Skin care is:
■a $43 billion industry worldwide

■There are14,000 companies

Only 1 company has a DNA customized product – and they have patents on the process
This is the kind of business breakthrough that makes people rich. Most people don’t get an invitation to participate in profits like these. You have to be invited. You have to know someone.
And that’s the case with GeneWize, too. You’re here because someone knows you. This isn’t advertised. You have to be invited.
When DNA customized skin care explodes onto the market — and it will — you could be one of the few who took advantage of it early and profited. But you can’t just sit there. You have to go to work.
Now is the time. Take care of your health. Take care of your wealth.

Slow the Aging Process


Can we slow the aging process by increasing the intake and topical application of anti-oxidant vitamins and active ingredients?  Yes.  There are now numerous published reports showing that in animal models, supplementation of the diet and topical application of anti-oxidants, at levels higher (and usually many fold higher) than the recommended minimum daily intake and topical application of anti-oxidants, can slow aging of memory, skin aging and motor function and increase the life span.

The Impact of Genetic Science Reaches Into Disease Prevention


The information in the Book of Life is revolutionizing clinical medicine as well as preventive health and skin care programs including Nutragenetics and Dermagenetics.  SNPs not only account for many of our physical differences, but they also account for our biochemical differences.  Being 'more or less' efficient in one biochemical pathway, may have long term consequences related to how well we can fight disease, or even how rapidly we age.  Through Nutragenetics and Dermagenetics, people are able to influence their own health outcomes.

Yours in health,
Rhonda
