Customized Diet Panel & Report
Overview
- The Customized Diet Panel is a precision-based nutritional tool designed to help providers and patients understand how genetics impact the body’s response to key macronutrients. This analysis supports the development of a personalized eating plan tailored to metabolic function, cardiovascular health, and long-term energy balance.
- By decoding individual genetic predispositions toward carbohydrates, proteins, saturated fats, and unsaturated fats, this panel delivers evidence-based dietary guidance that helps eliminate guesswork and support sustainable lifestyle changes.
What This Test Covers
The report is divided into two main categories, each offering focused genetic and actionable insights:
Carb–Protein Metabolic Insights
Examines genetic response to:
- Carbohydrate Metabolic Response
- High Protein Intake Response
- Whole-Grain Response Modulation
Dietary Fat Dynamics
Evaluates how efficiently the body metabolizes different dietary fats:
- Saturated Fat Sensitivity
- MUFA-Responsive Metabolic Efficiency
- PUFA-Responsive Metabolic Efficiency
Why It Matters
Nutritional needs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Individual genetic differences can influence how the body processes carbohydrates, proteins, and fats ultimately impacting weight regulation, insulin sensitivity, cholesterol balance, energy levels, and long-term metabolic health. This panel supports:
- Detection of metabolic patterns that contribute to weight gain, fatigue, or insulin resistance.
- Identification of macronutrient imbalances that may limit diet effectiveness.
- Development of personalized dietary strategies aligned with the body's unique needs.
- Targeted nutrition, and lifestyle modifications based on genetic response.
- Reduced reliance on trial-and-error diets.
Who Should Take This Test
The Diet Panel is ideal for:
Individuals looking to optimize weight, energy, and long-term metabolic wellness.
Patients struggling with blood sugar imbalances, cholesterol issues, or poor dietary response.
People seek clarity on how their body responds to carbs, protein, and fats.
Functional medicine doctors building precise diet protocols into patient care.
Registered dietitians and nutritionists customizing meal plans with genetic data.
Providers offering integrative wellness services backed by actionable insights.
Health coaches aiming to deliver smarter, more sustainable nutrition guidance.
