NUTRACEUTICS AND NUTRIGENETICS
"Let Food be your Medicine and Medicine be your Food" - Hippocrates
The Happy Eater Method is inspired by the famous phrase of Hippocrates, the founder of Western medicine and the principles of modern Nutraceuticals and Nutrigenetics
Nutraceuticals is a term that arises from the fusion of the terms "nutrition" and "pharmaceutics", to indicate the discipline that investigates all the components or active ingredients of foods with positive effects for the prevention, health and treatment of diseases.
Nutrigenetics studies the effect that genetic variability can have on the absorption, transport and metabolism of foods. It has been demonstrated that some sequences of our DNA are involved in metabolic processes and have a decisive role in the onset of chronic pathologies. A targeted nutritional intervention is able to carry out an important preventive action. Genetic nutrition tests study our body's response to the foods we consume, and allow us to identify those foods best suited to our predispositions.
This is achieved through:
- A specific nutritional genetics test aimed at evaluating the body's response to foods and identifying those most suited to our predispositions
- The definition of a diet suited to us that helps us limit or avoid the expression of a certain pathology to which we are genetically predisposed.
. We can therefore, by acting on our lifestyle and our diet, limit or avoid the expression of a certain pathology to which we are genetically predisposed. Genetic tests do not have diagnostic purposes but only preventive ones. The sampling is carried out through a simple buccal swab, which is absolutely non-invasive. The tests allow us to identify mutations in DNA, which can lead to reduced functionality of certain key proteins, and therefore compromise the normal metabolism and absorption of foods. Tests are performed only once in a lifetime. The test results allow us to develop personalized nutritional plans, identifying those foods that are most similar to our predispositions and those that are less suitable or less tolerated.
Genetic screening can also be performed individually, however panels are proposed that adapt to different individual needs from which you can choose the ones best suited to you. Thanks to the direct contractual relationship with Allergoline we are able to provide you with the tests at a preferential price and to be able to manage the testing phase directly with them.
Choose the test that best suits you and start talking to your genetics.

DNA AND PSYCHE
Depression and mood disorders in general can have various origins including genetics, today it is possible, starting from a simple buccal swab, to discover one's possible predisposition to depression and take the nutrients best suited to one's DNA. The genetic screenings provided in this panel are linked to the predisposition of depressive syndromes, pharmacological response, lipid structure, vitamin structure, serotonin receptors.
The test results allow the recipient or his psychiatrist to understand the type of problem and intervene in a targeted manner, either through the use of food supplements or, if necessary, using other therapies.
DNA AND DIET
Through the analysis of specific polymorphisms it is possible, by acting on nutrition and lifestyle, to find one's own psycho-physical well-being, while at the same time carrying out an important preventive action. All DNA and DIET panels allow you to identify: genetic lactose intolerance and genetic predisposition to celiac disease.
In particular:
In the DNA DIET 1 panel, predisposition to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity and overweight, high cholesterol and triglyceride values, increased cardiovascular risk, alterations of the immune system are investigated.
The DIET 2 DNA panel includes the analysis of genes that predispose to oxidative stress and premature physiological aging, osteoporosis, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, increased cardiovascular risk and hypertension, type 2 diabetes, alterations of the immune system.
In the DNA DIET 3 panel, a series of polymorphisms are investigated that predispose to depressive and neurodegenerative pathologies, the studies of which demonstrate how it is possible to act both from a nutritional point of view and through a personalized integration of bio-molecules, including vitamin A, vitamin D, folic acid, magnesium, taurine, phosphatidylserine to compensate for any genetic defects.

DNA AND SPORT
Amateur and non-amateur sporting activity is also influenced by genetic factors. Today we are able to identify those genes that can be directly or indirectly linked to both sports performance and injury prevention. Thanks to the polymorphisms researched in this panel, we can find out if you are predisposed to a greater risk of tendinopathies and spontaneous injuries, but also look for genetic mutations involved in the repair of muscle tissue, removal of lactic acid (muscle fatigue), recovery times , generalized inflammatory state, muscle strength and response to oxidative stress, without forgetting genetic lactose intolerance, which can in many cases compromise sports performance.
DNA FERTILITY
GERIATRIC PANEL
Knowledge of DNA can provide essential information to accompany the elderly towards physiological aging in conditions of well-being, choosing the foods most suited to their genetics.
The genes analyzed are linked to the predisposition to cardiovascular diseases, senile dementia, depression, dyslipidemia, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, arthropathies and Alzheimer's.
DNA AND ANTI-AGING
Nutrition genetics studies have highlighted the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between nutrients and aging. In fact, we can counteract premature aging processes through the intake of nutrients contained in different foods, which are able to influence the expression of our genes. This brings many advantages not only of an aesthetic nature but above all it allows us to control our state of health.
The genes analyzed are involved in the state of skin hydration, skin elasticity, keratinization, sensitivity to the sun, cytoprotection, vascularization, localized adiposity, response to oxidative stress.
DNA AND IMMUNITY
The well-being of an individual also passes through the well-being of his immune system. A personalized nutritional plan based on different genetic characteristics and individual predispositions helps prevent the onset of certain autoimmune diseases. The IMMUNITY panel involves screening of vitamin D metabolism, the deficiency of which is associated with an increased risk of autoimmune conditions.
There are also polymorphisms that predispose to alterations in the immune response, generalized inflammatory state and oxidative stress.
MICROBIOTA
DENTAL ANALYSIS
The panel provides for the screening of the genetic predisposition to celiac disease which has long been linked to various extra-intestinal manifestations, including dental problems, with manifestations that involve both the quality of tooth enamel and the health of the soft tissues of the buccal cavity.
Polymorphisms that can contribute to hypoplasia of dental enamel, tooth decay, and affect the bone health of the oral cavity are also investigated, as well as polymorphisms predisposing to an inflammatory state and oxidative stress.
An excessive production of free radicals and generalized inflammation are in fact also reflected in the health of the mouth, predisposing the subject to oral inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis.
