In Person Genetic Nutrition
This appointment will take approximately one hour.
This service is a multi-step process, but well worth your time and investment.
DNA testing can be the next step in finding the answers you have been searching for regarding health improvement. Food for Life uses the Your Genomic Resource TM DNA saliva test kits. This is a simple test to use. However, if you run into any difficulties with the process staff at Food for Life will help you with any step.
Step 1:
At this time you will make an appointment for about 6 weeks in the future.
The DNA test kit will be mailed to you, the test is completed in the privacy of your own home. Proprietary software is used to interpret your DNA. You will agree to the terms of use, follow the test kit instructions, fill the provided test tube with salvia, and mail the kit to the lab. When the DNA lab results are complete the information will be uploaded automatically into your private file in the proprietary software system. Once mailed, it generally takes 3-6 weeks for the result to be processed and uploaded in the software system.
Step 2:
Prior to your appointment, Barbara R. Gray MS, RDN, LDN will thoroughly review your DNA test results.

The nutrition protocol will supplement missing nutrients and antioxidants, or use nutrients to aid in the production of necessary enzymes to ultimately reduce damaging oxidants and support healthy cells. We may also make other recommendation that could include dietary changes or nutrition detoxification programs.
