Nutrigenomics

Consistent with our philosophy and practice of personalized, pro-active and pre-emptive medicine, the Alliance Institute is excited to offer nutrigenomics as part of its approach.  One of the exciting fields emerging in modern medicine is gene testing, and the implications associated with being able to look inside the human genome.  One such field is nutrigenomics, which studies and manages how the bioactive constituents of food affect gene expression.  Said another way, nutrigenomics allows your doctors and nutritional counselors to customize a diet just for you based upon your unique genetic makeup.  While not inexpensive, this exciting new frontier offers tremendous promise of perhaps postponing illness and disease through a more pro-active approach to diet and lifestyle based on one’s genes.
