Why is Génio an indispensable partner for nutritionists today?
In the current context of clinical nutrition, professionals are looking to align patients' individual data (such as gender and age) with their lifestyle habits (diet and physical activity, for example) and, potentially, to cross-reference this information with pathological situations to find a common denominator that can fill gaps or achieve the goals defined between the professional and the patient.
Specifically, when it comes to physiological needs, clinical implications can be related to an excess or deficiency, which has long been the focus of studies in nutrition. However, current research suggests that nutritional needs are not universal; they can vary significantly between individuals depending on the environment, lifestyle, and especially genetic factors.
In this context, traditional diets can present significant practical limitations. Studies show that about 80% of people who lose weight through restrictive diets end up regaining the lost pounds, often within five years. This is due to various factors, including hormonal changes that increase hunger and the tendency for overcompensation in eating after severe dieting.
Moreover, the well-known "yoyo" effect occurs, as metabolism adapts to periods of caloric restriction, leading the body to revert to its initial weight or even exceed it when the diet is not supported by long-term lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and a balanced diet, rather than restrictive diets.
Following the Human Genome Project, a new field of studies has emerged, including nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics, both of which seek to understand the relationship between genes and human nutrition. Nathan Price (Institute for Systems Biology) suggests that several biological factors contribute to the understanding of health and disease, including genetics, metabolic function, and physical activity. Additionally, he estimates that 90% of a person's health throughout their life is attributed to their genetics.
Price and his colleagues conducted a nine-month feasibility study, the "Pioneer 100 Wellness Project," involving 108 participants. They underwent lab tests at three different points and received personalized coaching throughout the study. Researchers collected data on hundreds of metabolites and markers and also provided wellness coaching to participants. Price highlighted the critical importance of behavior change in personalized nutrition.
In this study, participants improved several clinical markers, such as a 12% reduction in inflammation over six months. Participants who continued in the program, thanks to their engagement in Arivale's scientific wellness program, showed continuous improvements.
At Génio, we firmly believe that every diet should be unique, just as each individual is unique due to their genetic makeup. What was once a dream — offering perfectly tailored nutritional solutions for each person — is now a reality.
Génio offers a three-step approach, based on personalization, that optimizes nutrition for each individual according to their specific needs:
Identification of genetic predispositions
The DNA test helps understand how your body reacts to different nutrients, revealing information that conventional diets do not consider. In Brazil, Génio, in partnership with Genesis Genomics, offers precise DNA analysis, highlighting your individual nutritional needs.
Personalized recommendations
Based on the results of the DNA analysis, Génio provides tailored nutritional recommendations. We also offer customized meal preparations, taking into account your nutritional needs and dietary preferences.
Nutritional follow-up
Long-term nutritional follow-up with a dedicated nutritionist adjusts the recommendations according to your progress. Whether it's for weight loss, improving sports performance, or better managing a health condition, this personalized follow-up ensures sustainable results.
Thanks to our partnership with Genesis Genomics, we have made this vision a reality by creating a comprehensive solution, ranging from personalized DNA diagnosis to the delivery of tailored meals.
