Geneway

Our genes play an important role in regulating our body weight. Studies estimate that up to 70% of the risk for obesity is genetically determined. Although we cannot change our genes, by identifying our genetic risk profile for excess weight and obesity, we can manage it in a scientific way. In order to take the appropriate preventive measures, we test for certain mutations in your DNA, which not only affects your risk for overweight, but also your susceptibility to certain diseases and your general health. These mutations give us more information about feeding behaviours, natural appetite control, the fat burning process, your genetic need for physical exercise in order to maintain a healthy body weight, and your metabolism of dietary fat and carbohydrates.
