For years, Yasmine Turner struggled to find a diet that worked. “I tried everything—low-carb, keto, vegetarian—but nothing seemed to stick,” she says. It wasn’t until she took a DNA nutrition test that things finally made sense.
DNA-based diet planning uses genetic information to reveal how your body processes different nutrients, reacts to certain foods, and stores fat. “Your genes can influence everything from how well you digest lactose to how sensitive you are to caffeine,” explains nutritionist Dr. Priya Malhotra.
Yasmine’s results showed that she had a genetic predisposition for slow metabolism and poor carbohydrate tolerance. “No wonder the high-carb plans made me feel sluggish,” she laughs. With this insight, her new meal plan focused on high-protein, low-glycemic foods—and for the first time, it worked.
DNA testing also considers how your body responds to exercise, vitamin absorption, and even hunger hormones. While it’s not a magic bullet, it provides a strong foundation for creating realistic and sustainable health goals.
“It’s like getting a personalized roadmap for your body,” says Dr. Malhotra. “You stop guessing and start understanding.”
Yasmine now feels more in control. “The best part? I no longer follow random fads. I eat for my body, not someone else’s.”
As DNA testing becomes more affordable and accurate, it’s shaping the future of personalized wellness. One cheek swab at a time.
