New genetic tests hit the market daily, resulting in countless available tests.
While the information from these tests can be extremely accurate, it’s not always helpful.
It may be interesting to see where you came from, but unless you’re doing a personal genealogy study, the results won’t significantly impact your day-to-day life. “Interesting” doesn’t equal “actionable.”
At SNiP Nutrigenomics, we give you actionable information from your DNA.
Using a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited and HIPAA-compliant lab (which means your data is protected!), we gather information about specific genes that can lead to real improvements in your health and wellness.
The days of blind nutrition are behind us.
Rather than chalk your genetics up to “interesting but unhelpful” information, we compile your DNA results into an individualized report supported by more than 100 peer-reviewed studies to offer key insights into how your body works. By looking at your specific genes, we can better understand the essential supplementation you need, the type of exercise that may work best for you, and the foods that offer the most value to your body.
5 Insights Unique to SNiP’s DNA Test
After you take your SNiP DNA test, we send you a clinician–and scientist–developed report based on your genetics so you can learn what your body does well and, more importantly, where your body struggles.
The testing procedure is the same as any DNA test you can take, but what we do with the results is much different.
Here’s how:
- Provides Actionable vs. Informative Results
We give you your DNA results in the form of reports which are both informational AND actionable. At SNiP, we often say, “until you test, it’s just a guess.” While eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and taking daily supplements are generally recommendable, there are certain foods, exercises, and supplements best suited to your genetic makeup. When we look at your results, we can guide you in making the best choices for you.
Plus, we offer supplementation specifically made in accordance with your DNA.
- Offers a Proactive (not disease-based) Approach
We recommend a proactive approach with diet and exercise. To proactively keep people healthy, we look at your biochemical pathways, nutritional delivery system, and ability to absorb nutrients. We then work to provide supplementation that fills in the missing pieces.
- Gives Lifestyle Recommendations
Your DNA results also give us insight into which behaviors, foods, and environments can help your body work better. Based on this information, we make recommendations on how to live, eat, and thrive with your genetics in a healthy way.
The goal is to create lifestyle routines that work best for your body.
- Affordable Testing
Compared to some of our competitors, SNiP’s DNA test costs are low. You may encounter similar information and products sold for $800-$1000 for the test alone (not including the appointment and interpretation of the results).
- Leads to Personalized Supplementation
Our reports also lead to personalized supplementation support. When we review your DNA results, we’ll find the nutrients your body absorbs well and the nutrients your body resists. Your body may struggle to absorb a particular nutrient in a particular form, leaving you depleted or deficient. Our individualized supplements fill in the gaps.
The broad spectrum of supplements fits into three categories:
- Generic: This is the basic multivitamin you can purchase anywhere. It’s a catch-all designed to meet the needs of the average person.
- Semi-Customized: Perhaps your doctor suggests you add turmeric to your daily regimen to prevent a specific ailment. You throw a turmeric capsule in with your multivitamin — and it helps! That’s a semi-customized supplement.
- Personalized: After your DNA is evaluated, we understand more about how your body processes nutrients. We then formulate the amount to the microgram and provide the unique supplement combination you need. That’s what we offer with CODE Complex, your DNA-personalized formulation.
Right now, 95% of people who take supplements opt for generic. Our goal at SNiP is to provide people with the information and means to take supplements that work best for them. When they do, they may notice a significant difference in 30-120 days (the time it takes for cells to regenerate).
What To Do With Your Results
After you get your SNiP DNA report, how do you start putting the information into action? We make it simple:
- Look at your colors, noting the yellows and reds.
These indicators highlight potential challenges and limitations. In your report, we include detailed information so you can learn the purpose of the gene and why it’s important.
Remember, you’ll also have a list of peer-reviewed medical studies to reference if you’d like to learn even more.
- Learn the dietary recommendations for variant genes.
We make it simple by including this information in the report. You’ll learn the nutrients and supplements you need and how you can maintain (and improve) your health in the specific area(s).
- Implement the lifestyle tips included in your report.
These life-hacks support epigenetic optimization. Each tip is backed by science. If you feel overwhelmed, start with one and add others as you build confidence.
It all depends on your DNA.
Your genetics can teach you so much more than your ancestral heritage. By looking at the right snippets of DNA, you can gain an understanding of your genes that’s both actionable and transformational.
