DNA Testing at our practice uses the Fitgenes platform to analyze genes that influence how your body handles food, exercise, stress and aging. A simple cheek swab is sent to the lab, where specific gene variants are examined. The report shows tendencies in nutrient metabolism, inflammation, body composition and recovery, offering a personal blueprint rather than generic advice.
Results help inform weight management, nutrition, fitness and long term wellness planning, and they can explain why some approaches have worked better for you than others. Here in Merrick, your provider meets with you one on one to interpret the findings and translate them into practical changes to your diet, supplements, training and lifestyle.
