And then we have another who cut out fatty foods. Then there’s that plant-based person, the vegetarians who eat fish, the vegans, the bacon lovers, the lactose intolerant, and, of course, the gluten free. The world is full of different diet plans, and one thing we can learn from all this: no two people are the same. However, we are living in an age where we can easily obtain DNA testing results that provide a peek into how our bodies work. “For example, a person’s [URL='https://www.proclub.com/Wellness/Genetics']genetics can help us understand[/URL] their individual predisposition for increased appetite or cravings,” Erika DeRooy, the dietitian services manager at PRO Medical says. “Genetics can help us identify cravings for sweets, or strong food reward or pleasure responses.
