My Health 10-Month Challenge
NutriSync Genetic Test Example

      I just started offering the NutriSync genetic testing at my office. I did one myself, and I could not wait for my results to come in. They just arrived to my personal and private NutriSync account page, and I am posting the results so you can see what the report is like. The NutriSync evaluation tests for 45 genetic differences that can tell a person how well they metabolize toxins, alcohol, salt, saturated fat, how their athletic performance capacity is likely to manifest, and much more. The NutriSync test also provides a report that shows what a person can do to help their personal genetic differences.

      You must fill out a detailed lifestyle survey before sending in a buccal (cheek) swab provided in the kit. Then you mail it off in the pre-paid package provided. It's that easy!

      I filled out my survey honestly (having not done much exercise in the last three months for situational reasons), and the results showed I was under-exercising for me. I was honest about my alcohol consumption (which is regular, but not daily or excessive), and apparently, that is OK for my genetics. I can't deal well with salt or saturated fats, the report says. And I have some liver markers that are less than ideal, which I already suspected. The report helps me to see that even though I have been doing good stuff for my liver (such as milk thistle and bitter greens), that I need more of the cruciferous type vegetables (collards, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts) to help phase ll detoxification. I eat plenty of green veggies, but I need to skew to the cruciferous.

      If you are interested in seeing this report with your name and results on it, just contact the office at 831-475-1995 and let Susan know you would like a NutriSync test kit. The cost is $325. The benefit to getting a NutriSync test rather than "23 and Me" is that you get a lot more markers tested, and you get the full report (23 and Me offers no report). It takes about a month for the NutriSync report to come back to your private NutriSync account page. Click here to see my NutriSync report.

Glen Kazmierski, acupunctureOn Friday, May 8th, from 6:30 to 7:30 we will have Glenn Kazmierski, Licensed Acupuncturinst, speaking on "Spring Attunement--Upward Spiral." Glenn will teach us methods to enhance the natural energy of springtime in our own bodies through qi gong exercises, meridian stretching, and nutrition/food choices. Having had shared the same offices with Glenn for a number of years, I learned so much from him about "how things work" from a Chinese medical perspective. It is fun and empowering to see the ways that one can enhance one's own energy, performance, and healing powers with simple but directed home techniques.
