Have you ever wondered why people can have a completely different response to the same foods?

It might be in your genes! While healthy eating principles are important for everyone, our genes can influence how we respond to certain foods. Factors such as lactose tolerance, caffeine metabolism, salt sensitivity, histamine intolerance and coeliac disease risk can all be affected by genetic variations.

The Fitgenes FoodChoice™ DNA Report provides personalised insights into these pathways, helping you and your health practitioner make more informed nutrition decisions based on your unique genetic profile.

This report can be purchased at the Fitgenes website, or is available through a Fitgenes practitioner as part of the Fitgenes Health & Wellbeing Report Mega Bundle™ which includes multiple DNA reports. For more information, visit our website at fitgenes.com and look at our Products, or contact us to help you find an independent practitioner.

Fitgenes network of trained and accredited practitioners will help interpret your personalised genetic report and guide you through your FoodChoice journey.

As winter sets in and sun exposure decreases, vitamin D becomes an important nutrient to consider.

Vitamin D plays a key role in supporting normal immune system function, yet many people struggle to maintain optimal levels during the colder months. Genetics can also influence how efficiently your body produces, transports and utilises vitamin D, contributing to differences between individuals.

The Fitgenes ImmuneHealth™ DNA Report provides personalised insights into genetic pathways related to vitamin D status, helping you and your practitioner make more informed decisions around nutrition and supplementation strategies during winter and beyond.

Genetics plays a powerful role. Research shows that some people are biologically predisposed to prefer diets higher in sugar because of genetic differences that affect how glucose moves in and out of cells and how the brain senses sugar levels. This can influence sweet cravings, eating behaviour, and long-term metabolic health.

The Fitgenes DietaryChoice™ report analyses these sugar-craving-related genes, among many others related to diet and food preferences. This report can help you better understand your cravings and make more personalised nutrition choices.
