Frequently Asked Questions
🧬 Why Choose Personalized Nutrition Over General Guidelines?
General dietary recommendations are designed for the average person—but you’re not average. Your body is unique, and your nutrition should be too.
Scientific research shows that some people need more of certain nutrients (like vitamin D) or less of others (like sodium) to stay healthy. The only way to know what you need is through a genetic test.
With a DNA-based nutrition plan, you get precise, personalized advice—not guesswork.
☕ Example: Caffeine & Your Genes
You’ve probably heard that up to 4 cups of coffee a day is fine. But did you know that 50% of people have a version of the CYP1A2 gene that makes them metabolize caffeine slowly?
If you’re a slow metabolizer, drinking more than 2 cups a day could increase your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and prediabetes—even if you feel fine.
Only a genetic test can tell you how your body handles caffeine. How you feel after coffee doesn’t reveal your risk—your DNA does.
