1. Wishing You A Wonderful, Healthy and Safe Holiday Season
2. “Tired Of Guessing”?
DNA Testing can help you with a targeted program for weight loss and improved overall health.
Contained in the nucleotides of DNA are the genetic instructions for every function in the human body. Traditionally, DNA is associated with dictating individual appearance, hair and eye color, height etc. That holds true as well in regard to enzymatic pathways, receptor function and ultimately the precise requirements for exercise, diet and nutritional supplements for each individual.
Genetic makeup and expression exert considerable influence over an individual’s metabolic function and exercise physiology. There is extensive evidence that supports the direct interaction of genes with overall physiological processes of metabolic function and obesity and showing the intricate interaction(s) of polymorphism(s) that alter the degree or severity of metabolic disorders and/or resistance to weight loss.
By using full sequence analysis, a weight loss test that concentrates on five important loci on four genes* that encode for fat absorption, physiological response(s) to exercise, insulin resistance, obesity, regulation of glucose homeostasis and adipocyte differentiation can be performed . The five genes have been assigned to the obesity gene map that are directly involved in the response to fat absorption and retention, nutritional requirements and limitations and the exercise requirements for an individual. The Fit by Design™ testing (Now available at BodySmart Wellness) identifies and addresses gender differences in phenotype and neuro-hormone influence on physiological response. In other words… By knowing how a person’s genes instruct a person’s body to respond to various foods, levels of exercise etc., more efficient programs for weight loss, fitness and overall better health can be structured.
Why Genetic Testing?
Genetic testing is an analysis that identifies unique variations is genes or proteins. The results of this provides precise genetic information about an individual. The ability to uncover such detailed information has only become available for consumer use in the past few years. Genetic testing, until this time, has been used primarily to diagnose or rule out hereditary disorders or diseases. On the forefront of health and wellness, genetic testing is now available to uncover an individual’s metabolic requirements, paths to weight loss, an athlete’s steps to peak performance, and can even help to avoid childhood obesity. Ultimately, this creates the platform for anyone to reach their optimal health.
Diet, exercise and supplement programs often fall short because they lack the crucial element of biological response(s) and biochemical reactions in any given individual. Approaching diet, exercise, and custom supplementation to achieve weight loss, optimal body composition and wellness, is most efficiently accomplished through the utilization of individualized genetic information.
Full Gene Sequencing vs. SNP Analysis
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP):
The objective in this method of consumer genetic testing is to obtain what is referred to as the SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) The SNP provides the variation on a single base pair of nucleotides along the DNA sequence.
Full Sequence Analysis:
Full sequence analysis establishes the present sequence of a gene. Obtaining the sequence reveals every nucleic acid along either side of the SNP, as well as the SNP itself. In addition to analyzing the coding strand of the DNA, this method of sequencing also includes analysis along the non-coding strand of DNA. This can be used to cross-reference and confirm data, and as a measure to identify any inconsistencies during laboratory analysis, if some should arise.
Currently, full gene sequencing is the most fundamental way to get a clear picture of a person’s genetic material. The DNA sequence is what makes an individual truly unique. Determining the sequence of a gene ensures complete confidence and accuracy from laboratory results.
We at BodySmart Wellness now offer this genetic testing. The benefit to you: You truly know what your body needs and as well, what your body does not want. It makes it far easier to know what foods will better facilitate weight loss for you and what exercise program is best suited to your specific requirements to promote weight loss, overall fitness and much more. It provides the ability to structure programs specifically tailored to your needs.

General Information and Policies for all BodySmart Wellness workshops, seminars, classes etc.
Registration Etc.
Please arrive no less than 15 – 20 minutes before the start of any BodySmart Wellness class, workshop or seminar so that you can be checked in by starting time. Walking in after the start of a workshop is distracting to both the participants and the instructor or presenter. With classes, workshops or seminars that require calm and quiet (e.g.: Meditation, Higher self, etc.) the door will be closed and locked once class commences and no further entry will be permitted. Late arrivals will forfeit their registration/ticket. There will be no refunds of tuition if this occurs; however, the late arriving participant may receive credit for tuition paid towards another qualifying BodySmart Wellness class, workshop or seminar of the same fee or less… So Please arrive 15 – 20 minutes early.
Depending on the workshop, class or seminar, usually there is reserved seating for only 15 – 20 participants. All participants must be pre-registered and pre-paid. Your email confirmation is your ticket to the event so you must bring it with you. Absolutely no tickets/registrations will be sold at the door (no walk-ins). All registrations / Ticket purchases can be done by credit card by calling and registering by phone at our office. (Note: Soon you will be able to register online at our website). In the event a workshop, seminar, or class is cancelled those registered will be notified in advance. Should that happen the participant can either request a refund for the event or receive a credit toward another event of the same cost or no more than $10.00 more than the event they originally registered for. Registering at least 3 or more days in advance is greatly appreciated. Ticket sales for events ends 24 hours prior to the event.
Refund Policy:
All sales (including but not limited to: programs, appointments, services, sessions, workshop, classes, merchandise) are final. We will gladly replace any defective product with one identical or as close to identical as possible if it is brought to our attention within 72 hours. Unused portions of items such as supplements must be returned in the original container to receive a replacement or office credit at BodySmart Wellness’s discretion. Since success is a joint effort between the provider and the participant, or customer, we offer no guarantees stated or implied.

Only registered, paid attendees will be admitted. Children under the age of 16 are not permitted to attend most workshops, so if you are anticipating registering/bringing anyone younger it is important that you ask if children under the age of 16 are permitted to attend that event before purchasing their ticket.
As a courtesy to other patients clients, and students, and to maintain the serene atmosphere that we of striving for, absolutely no cell phone use is permitted in the office. Cell phones must be turned OFF (not on vibrate or silent) before entering the office/facility. If you must make a call, please step into the hallway during a structured break. Please do not go in and out during the presentation. It is distracting to others.
