BE ANNOUNCED LATER THIS W4@EEK N MUSKEGON. JOHN MILLS, 13 ON YOUR SIDE.
>> IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR WHEN
MANY OF I START THINKING ABOUT
TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT IN THE
MANY OF I START THINKING ABOUT TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT IN THE4@ NEW YEAR 13 ONYOURSIDE HEALTH
REPORTER VAL LEGO FOUND ONE
THAT GOES A LITTLE DEEPER THAN
REDUCING CALORIES.
IN FACT, YOU COULD4@ SAY IT'S AL
IN YOUR GENES.
>> IF YOU'RE ANYTHING4@ LIKE ME,
YOU'VE GOT ADS GALORE ON YOUR
SO4@CIAL MEDIA CLOTHING, SKIN
CARE, FOOD AND SHOES.
AND4@ THERE ARE SOME JUST CAN'T
RESIST.
4@THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WHN
I STUMBLED UPON GENOPALATE DIET
A BASED ON YOUR DNA.
ONE GLANCE THROUGH THEIR
WEBSITE4@ I WAS CURIOUS.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS IF YOU'VE
>> ALREADY DONE A DNA TEST WITH
TWENTY THREE AND ME OR
ANCESTRY.COM YOU CAN UPLOAD
YOURS FOR A REDUCED PRICE.
OTHERWISE GENOPALATE WILL4@ SEND
YOU A KIT BUT IT WILL COST
MORE.
IT TAKES ABOUT A WEEK TO GET
YOUR RESULTS AND ANALYSIS.
HERE'S A LOOK AT MINE.
I L4@IKE THE SIMPLE BREAKDOWN OF
THE FOODS I SHOULD EAT AND THE
EXPLAINATIONS WHY THEY'RE BEST
FOR ME BUT I REALLY WANTED TO
KNOW WHAT THE EXPERTS THOUGHT.
>> I'D PROBABLY JUST ABOUT A
HALF HOUR4@ LOOKING THROUGH YOUR
RESULTS.
DR. BUPP IS A GENETICIST WITH
SPECTRUM HEALTH4@ AND THE IDEA
BEHIND WHAT THEY DID MAKES
SENSE.
SO WE ARE ALL GENETICALLY
UNIQUE AND THERE ARE
DIFFERENCES4@ IN OUR GENETIC COE
THAT MAKE US UNIQUE.
>> BUT HE WAS4@ A BIT SKEPTICAL
BECAUSE A >> LOT OF THE RESULTS
GAVE YOU LLIKE HOW MUCH PROTEIN
YOU SHOULD EAT.
LLIKE PERCENTAGES4@ AND THEN THY
COMPARE THAT TO LLIKE THE
NORMAL POPULATION.
THERE WAS A LOT OF OVERLAP IN
YOU VERSUS THE POPULATION SO
THERE WASN'T A LOT OF PLACES
WHERE YOU WERE THIS4@ THANKFULLY
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT JUST THE
AVERAGE PERSON SHOULD DO >>. 4@
DR. BUPP FOUND THE FOODS
RECOMMENDED FOR MY DNA.
INTERESTING.
WHAT >> IS IN RABBIT4@ VS.
CHICKEN VERSUS CHICKEN LIVER?
HIS FINAL >> VERDICT IS GIV4@ING
US A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION
BUT THIS ISN'T4@ A GAME CHANGER
>>4@.
I STUCK TO THE DIET FOR ABOUT A
MONTH BEFORE CHECKING4@ IN WITH
MY PHYSICIAN FOR HER OPINION
>>.
IT DOES REVEAL INTERESTING
FACTS.
DR. KIMBERLY TOMERLIN LOOKED AT
THE DIET FROM A NUTRITIONAL4@
ASPECT >> ABOUT THAT ASPECT OF
THE PROGRAM WAS REALLY
INTERESTING.
THEY GIVE YOU A LOT OF
ALTERNATIVES.
SHE WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTED
IN HOW THEY BROKE DOWN VITAMINS
AND SUPPLEMENTS.
THEY >> SUGGESTED AN INCREASE
OF ZINC AND4@ MAGNESIUM ABOVE
WHAT THE GENERAL POPUL4@ATION MY
GENOPALATE RESULTS ALSO FOUND.
I HAVE A HARD TIME4@ ABSORBING
VITAMIN B6 NEED LESS FIBER THAN
THE AVERAGE PERSON4@ AND THAT I
MIGHT HAVE A SLIGHT GLUTEN
INTOLERANCE WHICH I FOUND
SURPRISING NOT SOMETHING I EVER
NOTICED.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT TOO.
THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO START
GETT4@ING PROBIOTICS IN YOUR DI@
DR. TOMERLIN ONLY FOUND ONE
DOWNSIDE TO THE GENOPALATE DIET
DIDN'T REALLY BREAK IT DOWN IN
TERMS OF SEX BEING MALE VERSUS
FEMALE.
AS FOR MY OPINION AFTER
STICKING TO4@ THE DIET FOR ABOUT
SIX WEEKS I FOUND I HAD MORE
ENERGY.
I SLEPT BETTER AND COULD FOCUS
FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME.
AND BONUS4@ I LOST ABOUT 6 POUNS
SO THERE JUST MIGHT BE4@
SOMETHING TO EATING YOUR GENES4@
.
I DID FIND A DOWNSIDE THOUGH
AND THAT WAS4@ THAT I HAD A RUN
AROUND TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT
STORES T4@O FIND ALL THOSE UNIQE
FOODS AND T4@HAT GOT TO BE A
LITTLE BIT OF A PAIN.
AND DR. TOMERLIN SAID4@ YOU KNOW
YOU COULD REALLY DO THE SAME
THING.
I MEAN THIS THIS DIET COST
BETWEEN 70 AND TWO HUNDRED
DOLLARS SO YOU COULD DO THE4@
SAME THING BY JUST KEEPING A
FOOD JOURNAL.
SO IT REALLY DOES SEEM LIKE YOU
CAN GET YOUR DNA TESTED FOR
JUST ABOUT ANY.
OH4@ MY GOSH.
SO MANY THINGS THEY SAY IS
BECOMING MORE AND MORE
PREVALENT AND THAT'S WHY YOU
HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL TO
MAKE SURE YOU READ THAT FINE
PRINT B4@ECAUSE ONCE YOU TAKE
YOUR DNA AND YOU SEND IT OFF,
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO
IT.
RIGHT.
IT. RIGHT. SO YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT WHO
OWNS YOUR DNA, WHO CAN IT BE
SOLD TO, WHO CAN SHARE IT?
GENOPALATE4@ D4@OES GIVE YOU THE
OPTION TO O4@PT OUT OF ANY OF
THAT S4@HARING OF YOUR DNA4@.
BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU KNOW YOU'RE
TRUSTING THAT YOUR RESULTS WILL
BE SHARED.
