Our Genes Are Not Our Destiny


Without a doubt, SNPs can have a strong influence on our health and well-being. However, our genes are not our destiny.


With the mapping of the human genome completed in 2003, scientists now have the ability to identify small variations in the genetic code that can lead to diminished health and wellness.By identifying which of these variations (vulnerabilities) you have, it is possible for the first time to customize a targeted nutritional supplement regiment for your specif genotype.


With a simple swab of your cheek, in about 4-6 weeks you will receive a LifeMap Healthy Aging Assessment. This product is ISO, GMP, and FDA compliant. Included is also a list of the ingredients in your custom formula.Your formula is also shipped directly to you in safe, convenient and environmentally sensitive packaging and materials.Now is the time to start ... you owe it to yourself and those you love!

Are you a Caterpillar or a Butterfly?


A caterpillar and a butterfly have the same DNA-but a caterpillar turns into a butterfly only if its genes are properly nourished.
Recently, scientists have confirmed that each of us has unique, "genetically determined" body chemistries.
Even small variations in your genes can have a significant influence on how well your body responds to food, nutrients, physical activity, environmental stresses and how you may be predisposed to a variety of other important health and physiological conditions.
By analyzing and understanding your unique genetic strengths and weaknesses, you can eliminate the guesswork and "genetically guide" the optimal nutritional supplement or skincare formulation to match your LifeMap Healthy Aging Assessment.
This is a revolutionary new scientific approach to delivering formulations that fulfill INDIVIDUAL needs, based on confidential genetic testing.

LifeMap Essentials Ingredients Sold SeparatelyPosted on : 01-06-2009 By : Monique Meinecke In : Nutrigenomics, Nutrition, Wellness

I decided to look on the Internet and try to get all the ingredients that were in LifeMap Essentials, including AC-11, Oxyphyte Ultra, FOS and all the vitamins and juice powders.The total price was a whopping $428.73!Compare that to just $99.00 from GeneWize… all in one easy to take package (10 capsules/day). On top of that you get Essentials customized to your genetic code for FREE. I believe there is not better value in nutrition today!The first thing I recognized is how hard it is to get each of the ingredients in the high quality form we have in Essentials. The second thing I recognized is how unique our product is. There is nothing out there like it. Here’s a breakdown of the ingredients I found and their prices from various websites. Links included.

Poor Economy ... Boosts Supplement Sales, Less Dr. Visits

Gloomy Economy Doesn't Deter Vitamin Sales

The current economic climate is dishing out bad economic news for almost every product category. Car sales, restaurant visits, jewelry and clothing purchases—they all were down in 2008 and are expected to fall further in 2009.

As a bit of bright light in an otherwise gloomy consumer environment, however, dietary supplements appear to be bucking the negative sales trend in the United States, according to the most recent sales data from Nielsen Co. For the 52 weeks ending December 27, 2008, vitamin and other supplement sales were up 5.9% to $3.8 billion in food, drug and mass merchandiser stores, Nielsen reports.

What about 2009? The Nielsen and other reports showing that consumers continue to equate dietary supplements with health and wellness. People are being proactive with their health in hopes to deter visits to the doctor .... which can be more expensive than taking care of yourself in the first place.

You Can't Have My DNA!

Did you know you leave your DNA at a restaurant every time you go out to eat? Did you also know that a simple swabbing of your cheek can provide you with your own unique vitamins? A formula is created specifically for your needs based on the results of your DNA testing!
Some folks are afraid to submit their DNA to better their health. Although it's important to know you are protected by law and that DNA results cannot be shared; you should also learn how acceessible your DNA is to anyone who really wants it. Specimens from which DNA can be extracted are: Sweaty t-shirts, undergarments, paper or plastic cup, glass, ear wax, fingernail clippings, socks, urine, licked stamps, (inner) cheek swabs, hair with roots, dried blood, whole blood, chewed gum, dental floss, cigarette butts, used tissue [boy, have I got a lot of these!], dried skin, used razors, semen stains, vaginal stains, and Other biological specimens [I shudder to think].
My dear friend, who recently joined GeneWize (a company who uses DNA to promote health and wellness), was afraid to share her DNA in fear that they could reproduce her at any time. It was funny to imagine hundreds of people who looked and acted exactly like my friend running around. After she felt comfortable with the integrity of this new bioscience company, she called me immediately and said "Okay, I've done it ... they now not only have my DNA - they have my credit card number too!" This can be scary but an incredible amount of time has been spent to protect your identity in both cases.
Understanding how accessible your DNA is to others is just the beginning of mentally preparing yourself for the future.....which is NOW! CSI and other popular shows help our culture realize this era of genomics may just be a new and acceptible way to promote good health. You can even find DNA samples of famous people available to you for a small fee (or not so small depending on their popularity).
By the way, Burt Reynold's skin DNA is currently out of stock on e-bay ... in case you wanted to know.

Last August, 2008 a publicy traded bioscience company patented a new fresh way to make sure you are getting exactly what your body needs! By swabbing your cheek and submitting a DNA sample to the scientists and doctors and Genewize you will get an assessment of your overall health along with vitamins formulated specifically for you ... imagine, a supplement as unique as your are!!

Yours in health,

Rhonda Maguire
