Epigenetics, methylation, nutrigenomics

Epigenetics can influence the gene expression (turning genes off and on) without making changes to DNA sequence. Epigenetics is influenced by environmental, lifestyle, drugs, detox, sleep, hormone balance, neurotransmitters balance, weight balance, emotional balance, exercise and supplementation. Examples of body epigenetic processes are methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation. DNA methylation is one of the most studied epigenetic modification. DNA methylation means binding a methyl group to  certain location of DNA.  Methylation has an important role in: immunity, energy, detox, neurotransmitters function, hormone balance. Conditions affected by methylation are cancer, stroke, heart disease, MS, depression, RA, anemia, preeclamsia, anxiety, insomnia, Parkinson, Chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune. First step is assessing methylation and the providing the necessary support protocol.

Nutrigenetics defined how genes affect individual responses to food. Nutrigenomics how food affects gene expression help identify epigenetic biomarkers. By doing certain nutrigenomics testing we are able to determine the best treatment that support your genetic blueprint that includes: diet, supplements, and lifestyle.
