Learn to interpret the expression of your genes before you count your calories. If you're supposed to eat 'bright' for your 'genotype,' then you begin by mapping your genetic expression. Can the average consumer afford to find out what to eat for improved health and nourishment based upon tests of genetic expression? Can consumers override any inherited risks revealed in the genetic signature with foods and nutraceuticals individually tailored? What does it mean to eat 'smarter' foods that target specific genes? How do your genes respond to what you eat? There is a strong connection between nutrition and genotype, especially in regards to your cardiovascular and central nervous system health. So you need to tailor foods intelligently to your DNA. Match what you eat to your genetic expression. Genes are distributed, function, and work in such ways that nearly every reasonable diet could work well in about six percent of the population. Nutritional genomics, often abbreviated as 'nutrigenomics' is about increasing that success rate. How will science working together with the consumer tackle the issues confronting us as the population ages? Consumer involvement can democratize the science of nutritional genomics by improving diets for better health. You can ask to work on ethics boards or create your own. How is discovering deep ancestry through DNA testing related to the ways that food affects your health?

Yet these components contain the elements which give strength to and modify our DNA.With the DNA diet, you will understand terms such as: nutrigenomics, nutrigenetics, and epigenetics. And you will understand how these terms affect your life.With this book, you will learn how to develop strategies for your alimentation and lifestyle that allow you to consciously "hack" your genes and take them to their best possible version.

What’s Your GenoType? GenoType 1 The Hunter Tall, thin, and intense, with an overabundance of adrenaline and a fierce, nervous energy that winds down with age, the Hunter was originally the success story of the human species. Vulnerable to systemic burnout when overstressed, the Hunter’s modern challenge is to conserve energy for the long haul. GenoType 2 The Gatherer Full-figured, even when not overweight, the Gatherer struggles with body image in a culture where thin is “in.” An unsuccessful crash dieter with a host of metabolic challenges, the Gatherer becomes a glowing example of health when properly nourished. GenoType 3 The Teacher Strong, sinewy, and stable, with great chemical synchronicity and stamina, the Teacher is built for longevity—given the right diet and lifestyle. This is the genotype of balance, blessed with a tremendous capacity for growth and fulfillment. GenoType 4 The Explorer Muscular and adventurous, the Explorer is a biological problem solver, with an impressive ability to adapt to environmental changes, and a better than average capacity for gene repair. The Explorer’s vulnerability to hormonal imbalances and chemical sensitivities can be overcome with a balanced diet and lifestyle. GenoType 5 The Warrior Long, lean, and healthy in youth, the Warrior is subject to a bodily rebellion in midlife.With the optimal diet and lifestyle, the Warrior can overcome the quick-aging metabolic genes and experience a second, “silver,” age of health. GenoType 6 The Nomad A GenoType of extremes, with a great sensitivity to environmental conditions—especially changes in altitude and barometric pressure, the Nomad is vulnerable to neuromuscular and immune problems. Yet a well-conditioned Nomad has the enviable gift of controlling caloric intake and aging gracefully. The author of the international bestseller Eat Right 4 Your Type again breaks new ground with the first diet plan based on your unique genetic code. With Eat Right 4 Your Type and additional books in the Blood Type Diet® series, Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo pioneered a new, revolutionary approach to dieting—one linked to a person’s blood type. In the GenoType Diet, he takes his groundbreaking research to the next level by identifying six unique genetic types. Whether you are a Hunter, Gatherer, Teacher, Explorer, Warrior, or Nomad, Dr. D’Adamo offers a customized program that compliments your genetic makeup to maximize health and weight loss, as well as prevent or even reverse disease. In simple, concise prose, Dr. D’Adamo explains how a host of environmental factors, including diet and lifestyle, dictate how and when your genes express themselves. He goes on to demonstrate precisely how, with the right tools, you can alter your genetic destiny by turning on the good genes and silencing the bad ones. Your health risks, weight, and life span can all be improved by following The GenoType Diet that’s right for you. Using family history and blood type, as well as simple diagnostic tools like fingerprint analysis, leg length measurements, and dental characteristics, Dr. D’Adamo shows you how to map out your genetic identity and discover which of the six GenoType plans you should follow. Without expensive tests or a visit to the doctor, The GenoType Diet reveals previously hidden genetic strengths and weaknesses and provides a precise diet and lifestyle plan for every individual. Based on the latest and most cutting-edge genetic research, this is a twenty-first-century plan for wellness and weight loss from a renowned healthcare pioneer.

Discovering and Defending Your DNA Diet is an Ayurvedic blueprint for health and wellness that encompasses the power of consciousness to heal our world and protect our food supply. In this ground-breaking book, Dr Hatchard takes a fresh look at the 4.5 billion years of evolution on planet earth. He explains the findings of the leading edge of quantum cosmology, evolutionary biology, nutrition, and epigenetics then puts these next to the ancient health system of Ayurveda. The implications for our diet, digestion, and health care are startling. He reveals that our genetic stability and survival is at risk unless we reintroduce a diet based on living plants with whom we share DNA, rather than the cocktail of chemical and processed foods and medicines we are exposing ourselves to.For the individual he introduces the reader to traditional Ayurvedic understanding of consciousness and diet. He explains Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation--a technology of consciousness and recounts the results of his research into the field properties of consciousness. He explains how these can be used to revitalise society.He outlines one of the greatest challenges to health freedom and self health care--why are new regulations restricting the sale and use of Natural Health Products in countries around the world? How are an international coalition of medical regulators restricting the use of traditional herbs with reverse patents? What are the dangers of modern medical practice? However, he doesn't leave us with problems, but rather points the way ahead to a new health paradigm based on the properties of DNA, evolutionary biology, traditional systems of preventive medicine, and the power of consciousness to transform our world.
