DNA Diet® Test: Personalized Nutrition & Weight Management

Available through our international collaboration with DNA Life, offered as part of advanced longevity tests and functional medicine tests at a specialized functional health centre.

Overview

The DNA Diet® test is one of the world’s pioneering nutrigenetic panels and a key component of comprehensive longevity tests and holistic health tests, analyzing 15 key genes that influence metabolism, appetite, energy balance, and fat storage. These genetic insights explain why individuals respond differently to the same diets and exercise routines, supporting integrated medicine testing and root cause testing approaches used by a functional medicine practitioner in Delhi/India.

With up to 40–80% of weight variability influenced by genetics, DNA Diet® also complements biological age test assessments by providing a roadmap to identify the most effective diet type (Mediterranean, low-carb, low-fat, etc.) and exercise strategy for long-term success. This testing is available through a trusted longevity lab in delhi / india specializing in functional medicine diagnostics.

Clinical Value of DNA Diet® Test

DNA Diet® is particularly valuable for individuals who seek functional medicine tests and holistic health tests to address weight concerns through root cause testing rather than symptomatic management. It is especially useful for those who:

  • Struggle with weight management despite lifestyle efforts
  • Have a family history of obesity or metabolic syndrome
  • Want to understand why previous diets failed
  • Seek motivation through a science-backed, personalized approach guided by a functional medicine practitioner in Delhi/India

Key Benefits

As part of advanced longevity tests and integrated medicine testing, the DNA Diet® offers:

  • Strategies for weight management tailored to genetic profile
  • Insight into optimal diet type for effective results
  • Guidance on exercise planning based on metabolic response
  • Nutritional and lifestyle recommendations aligned with functional medicine diagnostics for sustainable health

What the DNA Diet® Test Report Provides

The DNA Diet® report, designed for use in functional medicine tests and biological age test interpretations, includes:

  • Level of impact of identified genetic variants
  • Clear explanations of how each variant influences weight, appetite, or metabolism
  • Personalized recommendations covering:
    • Weight management priorities
    • Diet plan principles
    • Exercise planning (including MET-hour calculations)
