Fitgenes is an Australian organisation pioneering a new genre of Nutrigenetic and Nutrigenomics education for health care practitioners through the integration of Personalised Genetic Profiling, nutrition and exercise physiology to create truly personalised health and wellness programs. Fitgenes aims to help people maximise their potential for healthy living and healthy aging.

The word Nutrigenomics means ‘food talking to your genes’. Nutrigenomics identifies food-derived bioactive compounds which have the greatest potential to ‘switch on’ the protective genes within our cells and those that can ‘switch off’ the inflammation and disease-promoting genes. Knowing how these cellular ‘switches’ work enables us to reactivate these protective genes which tend to become ‘lazy’ as we age.

Personalised Genetic Profiling is based on Fitgenes program on how the science of nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices interacts with genetics to influence how effectively our body functions. It focuses on the genes that support health and well-being, as these genes can be modified by lifestyle choices. This means that whilst our genes cannot be changed, we can compensate for their effect to maximize our potential for healthy living.

Up to 54 of the most potent genes are analysed. The five categories of analysis are immunity and inflammation, cellular defence of detoxification, cardiovascular health, fat metabolism and cholesterol regulation and vitamin D metabolism.

These 54 potent genes are modifiable genes which will influence biochemical effect on our body to grow, function normally and self-repair.
