One test, One time to unlock your health potential
“It’s just your genetics”. “It’s hereditary and you can’t change it”. How many times have you been asked about the health history of your parents, siblings, grandparents, etc.? Traditional healthcare seems to condemn individuals as if your fate is determined by the outcomes of family members.
Family and the environment by which you were raised does absolutely influence behavior, frame perceptions and decisions. Growing up, you may have had little choice in what food options were available. However, as an adult you take the reins to frame your lifestyle and habits. Its these choices that are detrimental to long term health and wellness.
What is Genetic Testing
It is likely you’ve heard the term “genetic testing”. But you may not understand what it is, or what it means to your health. Genetic testing is a way in which we identify the undeniable and unchangeable components of our DNA that make us who we are. Genes are given to us from our Mother and Father at conception.
Genes can be turned on, expression can be reduced or turned off.
Understanding your gene variations can help craft a lifestyle that reduces expression of unfavorable outcomes. Epigenetics is the term for how our genes are expressed. Nutrigenomics is the means of identifying genes that can be influenced by dietary choices, activity, toxin exposure/detox, chronic stress and how we perceive the world around us (i.e. mental, emotional).
How does it benefit me?
You do it once and it unlocks a wealth of information to achieve the following benefits:
-
Reducing risk for chronic illness

-
Create fitness programs that result in fat loss, reduce injury risk and help achieve your greatest performance potential
-
Stop wasting money on supplement after supplement and know exactly where your body needs that extra support
Genetic Testing Objectives
Improve longevity and decrease risk of chronic illness
With VSB genetic testing we will gain insight into four key areas (bolded) that will provide us unique options for influencing long term health. We want to optimize biological process that are imperative to reducing risk for disease. Processes such as: detoxification, inflammation, oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, methylation, bone health and insulin sensitivity. Cells need the right materials and right environment to serve their function. This means macro and micro-nutrient requirements need to be specific to gene variations that create a heightened risk for cellular dysfunction, food sensitivities and intolerances.
Many persons today struggle with maintaining a healthy weight. It is widely known and agreed upon that being overweight increases the probability of certain disease dynamics. With genetic testing we capture the variations that can influence risk for obesity, snacking tendencies, taste preference (bitter, sweet, salty) and circadian rhythms. Whole health isn’t complete without understanding our unique genetic response to exercise. We need insight into avoidance of injury, proper post exercise recovery, ability to mobilize fat for fuel and type of training that gives us our greatest potential for performance.
When you purchase your Genetic testing from VSB, we send you a test kit to easily complete at home and mail into the lab. Once results are ready, VSB will contact you to setup you 1 hour consultation to dive in and discuss options to begin optimizing your health according to your unique genetic profile.
