Nutrigenomic testing, available through MedBen Rx, analyzes an individual’s genetic makeup to understand how their genes influence their response to nutrition, diet, and lifestyle factors. As the list below shows, the wealth of information uncovered through testing helps you better understand your body, so you can optimize your health.
THE BENEFITS OF NUTRIGENOMIC TESTING INCLUDE…
Personalized Nutrient Guidance. Testing identifies specific nutrient and supplement recommendations based on your genetic profile for optimal health and weight management.
Improved Disease Prevention. Identifies genetic predispositions to health conditions, enabling targeted preventive dietary and lifestyle changes.
Enhanced Metabolism and Weight Management. Reveals genetic factors affecting metabolism and fat storage to develop effective weight control strategies.
Optimization of Nutrient Intake. Shows how your body processes specific nutrients to address deficiencies and guide supplementation.
Better Understanding of Food Sensitivities. Uncovers predispositions to food intolerances to make appropriate dietary adjustments.
Improved Athletic Performance. Provides insights into genes affecting endurance and recovery for personalized training plans.
Enhanced Gut Health. Identifies optimal dietary strategies for maintaining digestive health based on genetic microbiome interactions.
Targeted Supplementation. Guides supplement use based on genetic needs to avoid ineffective supplementation.
Behavioral Insights. Reveals genetic tendencies related to eating patterns to help maintain healthy dietary habits.
Long-term Health Planning. Enables proactive diet and lifestyle decisions based on genetic information.
Long-term Health Planning. Test results are updated with ongoing research and results are valid for the lifetime of the patient. Coaching is available as well.
The nutrigenomic testing process requires just a few minutes and uses a simple oral swab. Once that’s done, you send your sample for testing in its pre-paid mailer, and we take it from there. You’ll receive a user-friendly report explaining the results and the implications for your health and wellness goals, and a consultant will call you with a personalized evaluation and action steps to help achieve those goals.
Testing can be offered as a stand-alone program or integrated into your health plan. Either way, employee and employer both benefit:
- For employees, testing contributes to improved health and reduced disease risk.
- For employers, testing promotes a healthier workplace while reducing employee absenteeism and presenteeism (poor performance and efficiency at work due to illness).
If your plan doesn’t pay for tests, employees can buy them using their flexible spending account (FSA) funds!
