It's Not Just Your Genes! introduces you to the fascinating world of genomics. Genetic technologies are revolutionizing health care, and in order to take full advantage of the advances emerging from this field, you need to get comfortable with its language and concepts.
Today we know that rather than viewing our genetic makeup as a hand of cards that have already been dealt, we have the power to use the information encoded in our genes to help us make informed choices that will maximize our genetic potential. Reading our personal genetic "message" is like having access to a treasure map one that can lead us, in excellent health, into a ripe old age!
It's Not Just Your Genes! is not a magic bullet. Just reading it will not banish your health issues, make you lose weight, or keep you forever young. Genetic risk is not absolute, and your individual genetic profile, along with how you choose to live, are major determinants of how your risk will play out in the long run. By gathering the information you need to make healthy choices, you have the power to optimize your individual potential. The era of personalized nutrition is upon us - join us on this fascinating journey into a new era and to a better life!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for those just discovering the exciting field of nutrigenomics,
By
This review is from: It's Not Just Your Genes! (Paperback)
This is a very well-written book that simply breaks down nutrigenomics, and the importance of complementary nutrition and gene testing. I expect this will be a growing area of interest for consumers and highly recommend they read this book to get a good understanding of the science if they are interested in exploring personal DNA testing services to support their health improvement efforts. I now purchase this book for my sales personnel and business associates, as we offer DNA-based testing services. It is a good building block in their training program.
I also recommend BKDR. Amazon.com ran out of books and I needed a number of additional copies for an upcoming training session. They called me immediately and filled the order promptly.

Best of the Bunch,
By sdeanrd@aol.com "sdr" (FL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: It's Not Just Your Genes! (Paperback)
If you are interested in this growing and exciting field then you really must start with this book. There are several other books out there, but I think this one is the most organized, concise and easy to understand of the entire bunch. I keep this book at an arms length because I've had to use it so many times in my own work. Excellent book for practitioners as well.
