DNA-Based Weight Loss uses specific testing to look inside your individual genetic makeup to understand how your genes affect your individual metabolism and the factors that influence your weight loss journey.
By utilizing your unique metabolic fingerprint, we can help you repair and restore metabolic function and guide you in how you need to fuel your body for health and wellbeing.
You learn what your exact “macronutrient” needs are and how your body metabolizes fats, carbohydrates and proteins. You’ll know your genetic “pitfalls” so that you can avoid situations and foods that add to your metabolic dysfunction. You’ll even find out what and how to exercise most efficiently to get your body to respond.
YES! Because the testing is and results come from your individual genes, the results we get will be lifelong. Once you have this information, all the “fad diets” simply just don’t matter!
There are 24 different genes that are analyzed in generating your metabolic fingerprint. Including the FTO gene for metabolism, LEP/LEPR for appetite, LEPR, and MTHFR regarding nutrient absorption, just to name a few.
We get the results of your testing very quickly! In about 2 weeks we’ll have your results! Fortunately, while we are waiting for those results you will get started immediately on your program. Initially you will be focusing on building a solid metabolic foundation with specific nutritional protocols and meeting with your metabolic coach.

Post-Treatment Care Questions
- What happens after my program is complete?
After celebrating your success with you, you’ll have many options! Some people are ready to “go it alone” with their newly found confidence. While some clients feel that they still have goals to reach and/or want to continue with support. In those situations, we have our “Stay Focused, Stay Empowered” programs where you can meet with your metabolic coach (in person or virtually) either once or twice a month for as long as you need.
