How many times have you tried a popular diet, only to find that it didn’t work for you or the results were short term? The truth is, what works for one person might not work for another. That’s because our bodies are unique. One-size-fits-all diets are a thing of the past, and the future of health is all about precision nutrition. So, what exactly is precision nutrition, and why does it matter?
What the Heck is Precision Nutrition?
Precision nutrition is a cutting-edge approach that tailors dietary recommendations based on your individual characteristics or bio-individuality. Unlike generic diet plans, precision nutrition takes into account your unique genetic makeup, lifestyle factors, and health goals. It’s about customizing your nutrition to fit your personal needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all regimen. This personalized approach helps optimize your health outcomes by addressing the specific requirements of your body. After all, it's about being healthy and feeling great! Losing weight and looking fabulous in you clothes is just a by-product of great nutrition.
Precision Nutrition vs. Traditional Diets
Traditional diets often rely on broad guidelines that may work for some but not for others. Precision nutrition, on the other hand, uses detailed information about your body to create a plan that is uniquely yours. While traditional diets might suggest cutting out certain food groups or following rigid meal plans, precision nutrition focuses on understanding how your body responds to different nutrients and adjusting your food recommendations accordingly. So, how do you know what is right for YOUR body?
The Role of Gut Microbiome in Personalized Nutrition
Your gut microbiome, the community of microorganisms living in your digestive tract, also influences your nutritional needs. A diverse and balanced microbiome contributes to better digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health including mental health, cellular health, blood sugar response, and immunity. An assessment of your gut microbiome provides insights into which foods might benefit or harm you. This personalized approach helps in crafting a nutrition plan that promotes a healthy gut environment and a healthier, more energetic you.

your health. This includes insights into gut health, oral health, brain function, immune system strength, heart health, and much more.
Build a Strong Foundation with Food
Viome® looks at your microbiome’s response to over 300 foods and even take into account your predicted glycemic response based on your microbiome profile.
Avoid & Minimize Foods: Eliminate or minimize foods that support opportunistic microbes, cause inflammation in your ecosystem, or are predicted to spike your blood sugar higher than normal. Don’t worry. You won’t have to avoid these foods forever!
Superfoods & Enjoy Foods: These are your microbiome’s best friends, promoting happy microbes and nourishing your body.
Diversity! Diversity! Diversity! Diversity in your diet is crucial as it provides a wide range of nutrients and enriches your microbiome, enabling it to perform a broader spectrum of functions that are essential for protecting, maintaining, and enhancing your health.
