What is Genetic Testing for Weight Loss?
Every cell in your body contains DNA holding all your genetic information. Genetic testing for weight loss simply involves taking a sample of cells from the inside of your mouth and sending them to an independent genetics laboratory that analyzes the DNA. The test analyzes 5 variations in 4 specific genes that are known to impact metabolism and weight loss. The laboratory returns a report that indicates how your body processes macronutrients. This information is used by Results Weight Loss® to design a nutrition plan that will work best for you.
About the Weight Management Test:
The Weight Management Test is an easy, safe and non-invasive cheek swab, performed by the client, on-site in the Results Weight Loss Center®.
