Since 1953, when the doctors Watson and Crick<\/strong> discover the characteristics of DNA<\/a><\/strong>, an unstoppable succession of discoveries has been generated that have highlighted the importance of the genetics<\/a><\/strong> in the field of health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Improved diagnostics<\/strong> and predictive medicine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ability to access the information contained in our genes is allowing the medical and scientific community to develop improved diagnostics<\/strong> and more effective therapeutic strategies. One of the classic examples of the contribution of genetic epidemiology<\/strong> In public health, the key lies in evaluating the therapeutic effect of a drug against a disease and how this effect depends, to a large extent, on small genetic variations. Therefore, current pharmacological treatments tend to be increasingly adapted to these variations. genetic binomial<\/strong> and each patient's clinical condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of genetics in healthcare is rapidly evolving, becoming an essential variable in what is called\u00a0predictive medicine<\/a><\/strong>, in which genetic knowledge can be applied not only to the diagnosis and\/or treatment of diseases, but also to "healthcare in health.". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is estimated that at least 801% of diseases can be diagnosed predictively before the first symptoms appear.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recently, the prestigious magazine American Journal of Human Genetics<\/strong> published the first randomized genetic sequencing trial in newborns (BabySeq Project<\/strong>), revealing that based on the genetic results obtained at birth, preventive and predictive risk strategies could already be established in 101% of cases. It is expected that this percentage will be significantly higher as we advance in predictive genetic knowledge, which will result in greater life expectancy<\/a><\/strong> with fewer years associated with disability due to illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A clear example of the development of predictive genomic medicine is the emergence of Nutrigenetics, which, through the analysis of small variants in genes related to nutrition, allows the development of predictive models of obesity risk.<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A clear example of the development of predictive genomic medicine is the emergence of Nutrigenetics<\/a><\/strong>. By analyzing small variations in genes related to nutrition, it allows the development of predictive risk models for obesity <\/a><\/strong>and associated pathologies at different stages of life. This innovative discipline facilitates the design of effective individualized dietary strategies for weight management and reducing the risk of obesity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With our genetic nutrition and sports tests based on your DNA, you can reach your goals, detect intolerances, learn how to lose weight according to your ideal diet, and discover the type of training that works best for you based on your genetics. Nutrition plays a crucial role in achieving your health goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The test is performed using a simple saliva sample, with a collection kit that we deliver to your home anywhere in the country at no additional cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this sample, we conduct a thorough study in our laboratories to provide you with a complete report of your nutritional requirements and ideal training based on your genes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The genetic test may include your personalized nutrition and training plan, plus a consultation with one of our experts to help you understand your report results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What results are obtained?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
