Professional Athletes and GeneWize Sports

GeneWize has many professional athletes very excited. For the first time they can get nutritional supplements designed specifically for them.Many top athletes currently use LifeMap Nutrition in their nutritional plan and others want clarification on certification of the product by NSF International. I'm not an expert on this but here's how I understand the issue.NSF has several certifications and approvals.

The most important to many people is the NSF GMP certification for Good Manufacturing Process (see http://www.nsf.org/business/gmp/index.asp). Our manufacturing is NSF GMP certified.

The NSF has a banned substance list that athletes must pay attention to. None of the ingredients in LifeMap are on the banned substance list.
I believe the certification you are interested in is "Certified for Sport" (see http://www.nsf.org/business/athletic_banned_substances/index.asp?pr...) a new NSF approval.

For this certification the NSF needs to certify every "batch" of product a company makes and packages. Most companies make one batch every one to two years, but we make a new batch every 5-10 minutes. They would have to certify every batch as it's made to make sure the ingredients match what's on the package label and that none of the ingredients are on the banned substance list.

Despite not being on the "Certified for Sport" list many professional athletes use our product because of the NSF GMP certification and the fact that our entire ingredient list is not on the banned substances list. I know that Robert Hoekstra will work directly with each athlete to show them all of our certifications and our communication with the NSF. You can reach him at rhoekstra@genewize.com or www.genewizesports.com Once again I'm not an expert and I encourage you to contact Robert.

DNA vs. URINE ANALYSIS

DNA vs. URINE ANALYSIS
From Tom Wood – Founding Affiliate

I met a doctor in Houston recently who gave me a great understanding of the difference in DNA Analysis and Urine (metabolic) Analysis. They are both important but here’s how they are different.
* DNA is prevention. Metabolic is reaction.
* DNA is foundational. Metabolic is functional.
* Your DNA never changes. Metabolics change daily.
* Fix the foundation first (GeneWize). Then test the functions (multiple tests).

Here are some points he brought up.
1. No one knows the exact percentage but some say DNA is responsible for about 25% of your health and Lifestyle (what you eat, the air you breathe, fitness level, etc…) is responsible for 75%.
2. You must address BOTH: DNA and Lifestyle issues.
3. Only a DNA test will tell you about your DNA. Many things tell you about your Lifestyle including metabolic tests (Urine or Blood Analysis), Body Mass Index or other fitness tests, caloric and fat intake analysis, etc… Nutritionists have many tests.
4. Your DNA never changes. If you address this first, then you can address your Lifestyle knowing you have the base down.
5. Urine analysis will change if you change your lifestyle. This includes if you start taking your GeneWize supplements, start a fitness routine, etc…
6. Once you’ve addressed your DNA and get on your GeneWize supplements you can do many Lifestyle Tests (urine, blood, fitness, food intake, etc…) to determine if you need more support.
7. Your Lifestyle will continue to change and you’ll need to keep taking these tests and monitoring your lifestyle.
8. But as long as you are on GeneWize LifeMap you’ll always have the DNA part of the equation handled.

The Foundation Metaphor
If I had to give you a metaphor, the DNA analysis is the foundation to your home. The Lifestyle analyses (in the GeneWize Life Map) are the design and maintenance of the many rooms in your home. Without a strong foundation it doesn’t matter how well you take care of the rooms. And if there is a hurricane, your foundation will stand strong if you take good care of it. You’ll always be able to build a better you no matter what. Take care of the foundation first. Then use ANY test you want to keep your home beautiful.

The GeneWize Difference
GeneWize addresses the foundational elements in your custom LifeMap solution. You can do metabolic tests, fitness tests and other tests throughout your life as your life changes. The one thing that will never change is your DNA. Take care of that first and then add nutrition based on your Lifestyle.

Very soon we’ll be adding “boosts” that will address Lifestyle issues.

Thank you Tom (and the good doctor from Houston),

The FDA on DNA-based Health & Nutrition

The FDA not only now recognizes the importance of PERSONALIZED NUTRITION and MEDICINE, it has created the Division of Personalized Nutrition and Medicine.

Quoting from Dr. Jim Kaput's newsletter,
"In October 2006, the FDA/National Center for Toxicological Research in Jefferson, Arkansas, created the Division of Personalized Nutrition and Medicine. This was in my view, a quite remarkable event ˆ the U.S. government not only acknowledging the importance of personalization but including nutrition with medicine. In the summer of this year, I was offered and accepted the position of Director of that new division. The NCTR and FDA announcement written by the NCTR Director (Bill Slikker) is included below. In addition to the information about the new position at NCTR, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (a cabinet level position) published a report in September of this year entitled Personalized Health Care:
Opportunities, Pathways, Resources (for free download, see http://www.hhs.gov/myhealthcare/news/phc-report.pdf).

That report describes the importance and proposed paths to develop personalized health care, and includes discussions about genes and environment (including diet). In addition, the report describes the granting opportunities and resources for research in this area. Although the NIH and other agencies have been slowly increasing funding for nutrient (and environment) ˆ gene interactions, the creation of a research division for personalized nutrition and medicine and the public discussion of personalizing health care demonstrate the recognition of the importance of this type of research."

Dr. Jim Kaput has been a leader in Nutrigenomics at UC Davis and headed the recent conference on Nutrigenomics. Dr. Kaput is very supportive of the interaction of nutrients and genes to say the least.
