Is DNA testing required to work with you? What if I'm not comfortable with it?
K

Yes, all of my clients take a cheek swab DNA test, providing powerful insights for a more personalized plan. If you're uncomfortable with it, we can still work together to create a tailored approach based on factors like your health history, lifestyle, and goals. I meet you where you are and help you make changes that feel right for you.

How can DNA testing help personalize my nutrition plan?
K
L

Your DNA reveals how your body’s systems process nutrients at the cellular level and how your genes impact things like metabolism and hunger. With this information, I can create a nutrition plan that aligns with your body's unique needs, helping you see results faster and more efficiently.

Will my DNA test results change over time, and will my plan need to be adjusted?
K
L

Your DNA doesn't change, but your needs might. Over time, life changes such as aging, stress, or shifts in your activity level may require adjustments to your plan. We’ll review your progress periodically and tweak your nutrition approach to make sure it continues to work for you.

What if my DNA analysis reveals a genetic predisposition towards certain health conditions? How will we address this in my plan?
K
L

Just because an actionable gene shows your potential predisposition to certain conditions doesn’t mean it’s a diagnostic indicator. Your story and history are all factored into each plan. I’ll help you make diet and lifestyle changes that support your health, provide you with preventative strategies, and minimize risks, giving you the tools to feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.

Can DNA testing help me identify any hidden food sensitivities I might not know?
K
L

DNA testing is not the same as food sensitivity testing. While it can highlight how your body may break down or metabolize certain foods and substances (i.e., caffeine), this is not the test to uncover specific tendencies toward food sensitivities. If necessary, we can explore other testing or elimination strategies alongside your DNA analysis to pinpoint foods that may be affecting your health.

Does DNA analysis consider factors beyond food, such as exercise or sleep needs?
K
L

Yes, DNA testing can provide insights into how your body responds to exercise, your sleep patterns, and even your stress response. We can use this information to create a well-rounded plan that supports every aspect of your health, not just your nutrition.

I have a family history of certain health conditions. Can DNA testing help me prevent them through personalized nutrition?
K
L

Absolutely. Your DNA results can help us identify potential risk areas early on, and we’ll craft a nutrition and lifestyle plan for prevention. This gives you the advantage of taking proactive steps toward better health, based on your unique genetic makeup.

Once I complete my DNA analysis, can I use it with other nutrition professionals in the future?
K
L

Yes, your DNA results are yours to keep, and you can share them with other professionals if you choose. They can help guide your health decisions long after our work together, although I’d love to continue supporting you through your journey.

I'm interested in weight management. How can DNA analysis be used to create a more sustainable weight loss plan for me?
K
L

DNA testing can reveal how your body responds to different macronutrients, exercise, and even stress. With this knowledge, we can create a weight loss plan that fits your biology, making it easier to stick to and more likely to result in long-term success, not just short-term results.

How long does it typically take to see results after implementing a DNA-driven nutrition plan?
K
L

Results vary from person to person, but many people start noticing improvements within a few weeks. However, the real magic lies in long-term changes—your plan is designed to support sustainable health improvements over time, not just quick fixes.
