Personalized Weight & Nutrition Genetic Panel Cheek Swab
Item # LC900015
Check your genes to see how you can maximize weight loss now!
The Personalized Weight and Nutrition Genetical Panel provides a personalized guide to optimal nutrition and weight management based on your unique genetics. This test helps identify which genetic variations may interfere with weight loss along with optimal diet and lifestyle strategies.
This genetic panel analyzes genetic variations in the following areas:
Metabolic Disease Predisposition
- Obesity
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Dyslipidemia
- Hypertension
- Accelerated aging
Drug Response (GLP-1 receptor agonists and HTR2C antagonist medications)
- GLP-1 Sensitivity (variations in GLP-1 receptor may impact how effective GLP-1 receptor agonists are, affecting how likely you are to respond to this category of weight loss medication)
- Resistance to weight gain associated with HTR2C antagonist medications (some medications that target the 5-HT2C receptor cause weight gain as a side effect).
Mental / Psychological Health
- Satiety (levels and sensitivity to hunger and satiety hormones, including leptin, ghrelin and serotonin)
- Eating behaviors (predisposition to overeating)
- Adherence to Wellness Goals (variations in synthesis and metabolism of serotonin affect one’s management of a habit change, which can influence feelings of focus and contentment)
- Regulation & Relaxation (balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters)
Lifestyle, Metabolism & General Wellness
- Circadian Rhythm (melatonin)
- Exercise efficiency (how much benefit exercise provides)
- Expected benefits from exercise such as improvements in HDL levels
- Stress Response (cortisol)
- NAD+ Recycling Power
- Mitochondrial health for maximizing energy output
- Thyroid function
- Oxidative stress
- Inflammation
Diet and Nutrition
- Predicts dietary responses to low-fat, low-carb, and fasting protocols
- Optimal diet type based on your genetic with proposed distribution of carbs, protein, and fat
- Food Intolerances (e.g., gluten, lactose, histamine, caffeine, alcohol)
- Essential Nutrients and nutrient metabolism (e.g., risk of deficiency for vitamin D, B vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and more)
