DNA (gene-based health plans)
Personalised medicine bases on your genes
Your genes and DNA play a significant role in your health. In fact, your genes account for some 25-30% of your health and disease risk factors. Although most genes are the same in all people, there can be small genetic variations- the most common type being single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). While most SNPs have no effect on cell function, others can affect the gene’s function, predispose you to disease, and contribute to individual differences in therapeutic responses.
Whilst you cannot change your DNA and SNPs, you can change the speed at which many of the enzymes they produce functions. A DNA assessment of your SNPs is an empowering tool to help predict your risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart disease, mental health challenges and cognitive decline, as well as your susceptibility to environmental factors including lifestyle habits, stress levels, social world, diet, toxins and more.

您的基因對健康起著重要作用，因為基因約佔您健康和疾病風險因素的 25-30%。 儘管所有人的大多數基因都是相同的，但亦可能存在微小的遺傳變異：最常見的類型是單核苷酸多態性 (SNP)。 雖然大多數 SNP 對細胞功能沒有影響，但其他 SNP 可能會影響基因的功能，使您容易患病。
雖然您無法改變DNA和SNP，但您可以改變它們產生的許多酶的運行速度。 進行DNA評估可幫助預測您患糖尿病、心臟病、心理健康和認知能力下降等疾病的風險，以及您對環境因素（包括生活習慣、壓力水平、社交和飲食習慣等）的敏感性 、毒素等等。
