    Want to learn more about genetic testing and how it works for weight loss? We’re here to help!

    There are articles and studies released daily that show you how genetic testing and personalized medicine are progressing at an astounding rate, enough to allow companies like Genetic Direction to provide recommendations for weight loss based on your genes quickly and at a surprisingly low cost. If you’re curious to learn more about how the whole process works, we’ve found a wonderful article from Genome.gov that tells you how the genetic testing works and whether it might be right for you. Read some excerpts below:

    “Genetic testing uses laboratory methods to look at your genes, which are the DNA instructions you inherit from your mother and your father. Genetic tests may be used to identify increased risks of health problems, to choose treatments, or to assess responses to treatments.”

    “Genetic testing may be beneficial whether the test identifies a mutation or not. For some people, test results serve as a relief, eliminating some of the uncertainty surrounding their health. These results may also help doctors make recommendations for treatment or monitoring, and give people more information for making decisions about their and their family’s health, allowing them to take steps to lower his/her chance of developing a disease. For example, as the result of such a finding, someone could be screened earlier and more frequently for the disease and/or could make changes to health habits like diet and exercise. Such a genetic test result can lower a person’s feelings of uncertainty, and this information can also help people to make informed choices about their future, such as whether to have a baby.”
