Frequently Used Terms
Methylation:
Methylation acts as an on/off switch that allows the body to learn how to respond to environmental change. It represents the only cellular pathway that effects both adaptability and structural integrity of the body. Like the simple water molecule, methyl groups are necessary for life. This pathway is directly related to most major chronic conditions.
Our goal is to assess your genetics along with our knowledge of the methylation pathway to support a healthy mind, body and soul. To learn more about the methylation pathway, click here.SNPs:
SNPs (pronounced “snips”), or single nucleotide polymorphisms, are genetic variations in a DNA sequence that occur when a single nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) in the genome is altered.
Nutrigenomics:
The study of molecular relationships between nutrition and the response of genes, with the aim of extrapolating how such changes can affect human health.
Methylation Pathway Analysis (MPA):
The Methylation Pathway Analysis is basically the answer key to the nutrigenomic test. This analysis provides you with all the information regarding your personal genetic profile as well as the supplement list with which you can address any mutations found in your test.
Nutrigenomic Educational Starter Pack (ESP):
Provides background information on the benefits of genetic testing and specific recommendations for analyzing and comprehending genetic mutations. To learn more about the ESP, click here.
