We are genetically unique individuals.
We each react differently to food and to the environment in a unique way.
Your health is a result of the interactions between your genes and lifestyle factors which influence how well your body metabolizes foods, uses nutrients and removes damaging toxins or affects our development of diseases.
The link between genetic variations and adverse health outcomes during the various stages of life, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and neurodegenerative disease is compelling. By adjusting your lifestyle, you can have a great impact on how your genes work and compensate for areas in which you are genetically predisposed to functioning at an altered level.
Natural Health Solutions helps you:
1.) Identify your own gene variants
2.) Understand their influence on your health
3.) Make health-promoting diet and lifestyle choices
4.) Take control of your health and well- being
Which genes are analysed?
Current evidence indicates several areas in which genetic testing is of proven clinical benefit.
* Bone Health
* Inflammation
* Insulin Sensitivity
* Antioxidation/Detoxification
* Heart Health/Cardiovascular Disease
For Example:
We know Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in developed countries. Heart health depends on a complex balance of environmental, dietary, and genetic factors. We screen your DNA for a collection of genes that are believed to play an important part in your heart health, according to the lastest research.
The genes involved in heart health have a variety of functions:
* Some help to fight damage caused by free radicals, which contribute to the formation of plague in the arteries.
* Some influence the levels of homocysteine in the blood: raised homocysteine may be a significant risk factor for heart disease.
* Certain genes influence LDL and HDL cholestrol levels: higher levels of LDL, or "bad" cholestrol, are associated with a higher risk of heart disease.

Natural Health Solutions represents a diverse team of health professionals, with over forty years of experience, who share a passion and motivation for disease prevention and wellness. We understand that every indvidual is different and have different needs. We are committed to providing the latest research and techology to assist individuals in identifying areas that need to be addressed to help you stay healthy.
Over the past few decades, epidemiological, clinical and mechanistic studies have indicated many relationships between nutrition and health. For example, links have been established between dietary habits and degenerative diseases like cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and cancer.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if you knew exactly what measures you could take to stave off, or even prevent, the onset of disease? Wouldn't it be a relief to know that you are not allergic to the drugs your doctor just prescribed? Wouldn't it be a comfort to know that the treatment regimen you are undergoing has a good chance of success because it was designed just for you? With the availability of millions of SNPs, biomedical researchers now believe that such exciting medical advances are not that far away.
Unbalanced nutrient intakes are known to be associated with the development of chronic diseases demonstrating that dietary chemicals have direct effects on molecular genetic processes.
Some genes, in fact, can be turned on and off by many factors, including the foods you eat, the supplements you take and the lifestyle you lead. This is a radical discovery. For years, it was believed that our genetic make-up resulted in specific and consistent types of responses in the body. In fact, you may believe you have a genetic destiny based on the genes you have inherited. We now know this isn’t the complete picture.
