The westernised world is in the midst of an unprecedented epidemic of chronic diseases, such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, Autism and Alzheimer’s disease to name a few. The current “one size fits all” approach to solving this problem is not working. Scientists have known for a long time that genetically we are all different, however scientists are now discovering that our genes determine how we respond to our diet, exercise, lifestyle choices and environment. This has resulted in the new scientific disciple called Nutrigenetics.

Until recent times, Western Medicine has had a deterministic approach that “our genes are our destiny”. Whilst this may be true of the 1-2% on monogenic, so called “high penetrant” genes such as hemochromatosis etc, current research has shown that the expression of many of genes that control the physiological functioning of our body’s can be influenced by our diet, exercise and lifestyle choices. The new science of Nutrigenomics which studies these interactions, is now showing that “our genes are NOT our destiny”. It’s true that we can’t change our genes, however, we can compensate for their influence by making the right nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices based on our own unique genetic profile.
