One of my partners, Tom Wood, has nicknamed each SNP so we can remember them. Use this guide to help you realize and remember all this science does for us.
Note: a SNP (say ’snip’) is a variation in the gene that helps make you unique. Some SNPs come with health and aging risks that can be [...]

As the cost of sequencing a single human genome drops rapidly, with one company predicting a price of $100 per person in five years, soon the only reason not to look at your “personal genome” will be fear of what bad news lies in your genes.
University of California, Berkeley, scientists, however, have found a welcome reason to delve into your genetic heritage: to find the slight genetic flaws that can be fixed with remedies as simple as vitamin or mineral supplements.

Nutrigenetics,or the science of personalized nutrition, is the science behind how the food we consume exerts an impact on the functioning of our genes. The growing evidence that gene function plays a major role in our dynamic health states, and that DNA plays a role beyond the common gene expressions of eye color, hair color and other easily observable traits.

It is estimated over half of the population of the United States is using some form of vitamin supplement with a mass majority uncertain of the quality or the reasons behind the specific nutrient intake. The Human Genome Project quest to map the DNA strand will begin to revolutionize the health and wellness industry. The ability to personalize and customize nutritional supplements based on your DNA is now a reality.

The idea behind Genetic Code Nutrition is that if we know our genotypes, then we might be able to make dietary changes based on that genotype and, as a result, prevent the development of disease processes in type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, such as insulin resistance, pro-inflammatory state, or heart disease.

The term Genetics comes from an Ancient Greek word meaning
‘genesis’ or ‘origin’. At its simplest, it is known as the science
of heredity and variation in living organisms. It has long been
observed that all living things inherit traits from their parents.
These traits could be physical features such as hair color or eye
color, but genetic traits also apply to physiological processes
such as metabolism, neuromuscular health, or cardiovascular health
to name but a few.
