Gene-based personalized diet and lifestyle refers to an approach to health and wellness that takes an individual’s genetic makeup into account to tailor dietary, supplemental and lifestyle recommendations specifically to their unique genetic profile. This approach recognizes that genetic variations can influence how individuals metabolize nutrients, respond to different types of exercise, and interact with their environment, impacting their overall health outcomes.

The process begins with genetic testing, where individuals provide a sample of their DNA, typically through a saliva sample, blood spot or a cheek swab. This DNA sample is then sent to a reputable lab and is analyzed to identify specific genetic variations, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that may influence various aspects of health, metabolism, and fitness.

RENU offers a range of genetic panels crucial for uncovering the biological mechanisms influencing health. These panels encompass methylation, detoxification, and lipid metabolism, as well as genetic responses dictating macro- and micro-nutrient needs. Additionally, they provide valuable insights into weight management, including obesity risk and eating habits, as well as exercise responsiveness, exercise preference (power vs endurance) potential, and recovery duration.

RENU also has a health risk panel that includes HLA-Related Autoimmunity. This looks at gene variants related to common autoimmune diseases and provides healthcare practitioners ‘diagnostic insight’ for patients already suffering from an autoimmune disorder, or who are identified as being at higher risk as a result of either exposure to certain environmental factors, or family medical history. This test analyzes thousands of gene variants within the MHC and HLA gene region to report on HLA types, specific to HLA class I (HLA-A, -B, -C), and HLA class II (HLA-DPA1, – DPB1, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DRB1, – DRB3, -DRB4, and -DRB5) loci, and MHC related gene variants associated with common autoimmune diseases.

“Cash pay reimbursement” or “pay-and-claim” refers to a payment system in healthcare where patients pay for medical services out-of-pocket at the time of service, and then the patient submits their invoice, claim form, and medical report to their insurance – if needed – for reimbursement. Typical reimbursement back to patients ranges between 80 100% but this will depend on their insurance company.

Reverse Engineered New You. Reverse engineering in the context of RENU’s Healthcare model, involves the systematic deconstruction and analysis of complex health issues to uncover underlying root causes and mechanisms contributing to disease or dysfunction. This approach aims to understand how various factors, such as genetics, environment, diet, lifestyle, and physiological processes, interact to influence an individual’s health.

Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, is an approach to healthcare that takes individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person into account. The goal of personalized medicine is to provide tailored medical care and treatment plans that are customized to the specific characteristics of each patient, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach.

Personalized medicine represents a paradigm shift in healthcare towards more individualized, predictive, and proactive approaches to disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. By leveraging advances in genomics, technology, and data analytics, personalized medicine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes across a wide range of medical conditions. Our team at RENU is dedicated to practicing personalized medicine and providing patients the highest quality care.
