I am a scientist, with 10+ years of experience in molecular biology, virology and genomics. I have developed viral diagnostic kits, bio-art kits and safe bio luminescent tattoo inks. My passion, however, has always been the field of genomics, and how our lifestyle, our nutrition, our mental and physical well-being are all hugely affected by our individual genetic make up. Driven by this passion, and the idea of helping people reach optimal physical and mental levels based on each individual's genetic code has led me to MyAlixir. At MyAlixir, we aim to provide the public with valuable information as to how diet should be modified, based on their own genetic make-up, to prevent disease and improve health, i.e. personalized nutrition.Individuals respond differently to lifestyle interventions, especially those modulating diet, because of genetic variants that influence how dietary components are absorbed, metabolized and utilized. Therefore, dietary advice that is specific to individuals with a particular genotype should be more effective at preventing chronic diseases than general recommendations about diet.
