Nutrigenomics at Icon Aesthetics
Nutrigenomix Testing takes the guesswork out of common health questions. Have you ever wondered: Is a high-protein diet right for my weight loss goals? Am I sensitive to caffeine? Do I need more vitamin D or omega-3s? What kind of exercise is best for my body? By analyzing your genetic makeup, we can assess how your body metabolizes key nutrients like B12, folate, and iron, whether you are more likely to struggle with food intolerances like lactose or gluten, and how your genes influence tendencies like salt sensitivity or overeating behavior.
Beyond nutrition, this test offers insight into your body’s response to physical activity—highlighting genetic tendencies toward strength versus endurance, how quickly you recover, and whether you may be at increased risk for soft tissue injuries. These findings can help tailor your fitness strategy, making your workouts more efficient, safe, and aligned with your goals. It also provides guidance on weight management strategies, identifying whether a high-protein, low-fat, or balanced approach is most effective based on your genetics.

Once your results are ready—typically within a few weeks—you’ll receive a personalized, easy-to-interpret report outlining your genetic profile along with practical recommendations for nutrition, supplementation, exercise, and lifestyle optimization. This isn’t just about knowing your genes—it’s about using them to your advantage.
Nutrigenomix Testing is ideal for anyone ready to take a more proactive and informed approach to their health. Whether you’re just beginning your wellness journey, struggling with chronic conditions, or looking to fine-tune your existing plan, understanding your genetic blueprint empowers you to make smarter, more sustainable choices. Many patients choose to retest annually to track progress and refine their strategy over time.
