What Is Nutrigenomix® DNA Testing?

Nutrigenomix® is a clinically developed genetic testing platform created by scientists at the University of Toronto — one of the leading research institutions in nutrigenomics, the science of how genes and nutrition interact. The test analyzes key genetic variants associated with how your body responds to the foods you eat, the activities you do, and the lifestyle choices you make every day.

​

Unlike general consumer DNA tests that offer broad ancestry or health estimates, Nutrigenomix® is specifically designed for use by healthcare professionals to guide personalized nutrition, fitness, and wellness recommendations. It examines dozens of genetic markers across critical health categories — giving your provider at Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness the information they need to create a truly individualized plan for you.

The process is simple: a painless cheek swab is collected during your appointment and sent to the Nutrigenomix® laboratory for analysis. Results are reviewed in a comprehensive consultation with your Monaco provider, who will walk you through your findings and translate your genetic data into practical, actionable recommendations you can implement right away.

​

Nutrigenomix® analyzes genetic markers in key areas including:

• Nutrient metabolism — How your body processes vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, B12, folate, iron, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids

• Weight management — Genetic factors influencing your risk for weight gain, body fat distribution, and how effectively your body responds to dietary changes

• Carbohydrate and fat sensitivity — How your genes affect your response to different macronutrient ratios and dietary patterns (low-fat vs. low-carb, for example)

• Physical activity response — Whether you are more likely to benefit from endurance-based or strength-based exercise based on your genetic profile

• Food intolerances and sensitivities — Genetic predispositions related to lactose, gluten, caffeine, and alcohol metabolism

• Eating behaviors — Genetic factors linked to appetite regulation, taste preferences, and satiety signals

• Inflammation markers — How your genes influence your inflammatory response to certain foods and lifestyle factors

• Heart health and cholesterol — Genetic variants associated with lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk factors

• Hormone and metabolic health — Relevant genetic factors for patients managing hormonal wellness or supporting weight loss efforts

 

At Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness, your Nutrigenomix® results are not delivered in isolation — they are reviewed in the context of your full health history, current wellness goals, and any other Monaco services you may be using, creating a truly integrated and personalized approach to your wellbeing.

Benefits of Nutrigenomix® DNA Testing

We live in an era of information overload when it comes to health and wellness. There's no shortage of diets, exercise programs, supplements, and lifestyle advice — and yet most people still feel like they're guessing. Nutrigenomix® ends the guessing.

​

When you understand your genetic predispositions, you stop experimenting and start applying. You stop following plans designed for someone else and start building one designed specifically for you. The benefits extend across every dimension of your health.

​

Key benefits of Nutrigenomix® testing include:

• Removes the guesswork from nutrition, fitness, and wellness decisions

• Reveals how your body actually responds to specific macronutrients, micronutrients, and dietary patterns

• Identifies genetic nutrient deficiency risks before they become health problems

• Helps explain why past diets or exercise programs may not have worked as expected

• Guides targeted supplementation based on your individual genetic needs — not generic recommendations

• Supports more effective and sustainable weight management by aligning your approach with your metabolism

• Helps optimize physical performance and recovery based on your genetic fitness profile

• Integrates seamlessly with Monaco's weight loss, hormone therapy, and wellness programs

• One-time test with lifelong value — your DNA doesn't change

• Clinically validated platform developed and used by healthcare professionals, not a consumer wellness gimmick

• Results reviewed in a personalized consultation — not just an app or a PDF

 

For patients working with Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness on weight loss, hormone replacement therapy, or general wellness optimization, Nutrigenomix® adds a powerful layer of personalization that can meaningfully accelerate and sustain your results.

 

Who Is a Good Candidate for Nutrigenomix® Testing?

Nutrigenomix® is appropriate for virtually any adult who wants a deeper, more scientific understanding of their body and how to care for it. You don't need to be dealing with a specific health condition — curiosity about your own biology is reason enough.

​

You may be an especially strong candidate if you:

• Have tried multiple diets or eating plans and struggled to see consistent results

• Want to optimize your nutrition and fitness approach rather than continuing to guess

• Are managing your weight and want a more targeted, personalized strategy

• Are working with Monaco's weight loss program and want to align your plan with your genetics

• Are undergoing hormone replacement therapy and want to support it with optimal nutrition

• Have a family history of certain health conditions and want to understand your genetic risk factors

• Have unexplained fatigue, brain fog, or nutritional symptoms that standard labs haven't explained

• Are an athlete or active individual who wants to optimize performance and recovery

• Are interested in preventative health and want to get ahead of potential issues before they develop

• Simply want to know more about how your unique body works — and how to work with it, not against it

​

Because Nutrigenomix® is a one-time test with lifelong applicability, it's a particularly valuable investment for patients of any age. Your DNA doesn't change — but the way you use that information can inform your health decisions for years to come.

​

What to Expect During Your Nutrigenomix® Appointment

The Nutrigenomix® process is simple, comfortable, and straightforward — and it begins and ends at Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness in Bakersfield.

​

Step 1 — Initial Consultation: Your provider will meet with you to discuss your health history, current wellness goals, and what you're hoping to learn from genetic testing. This conversation ensures that your results will be interpreted within the right context and that your personalized plan addresses what matters most to you.

Step 2 — Sample Collection: A simple, painless cheek swab is collected during your appointment. There are no needles, no blood draws, and no special preparation required. The entire collection process takes just a few minutes.

Step 3 — Laboratory Analysis: Your sample is sent to the Nutrigenomix® laboratory, where it is analyzed using validated genetic sequencing technology. Results are typically available within a few weeks.

Step 4 — Results Consultation: Once your results are ready, you'll return to Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness for a comprehensive results consultation with your provider. This is where the real value lies — your provider will walk you through each finding, explain what your genetic variants mean in practical terms, and help you translate your results into clear, actionable recommendations for nutrition, supplementation, physical activity, and lifestyle.

Step 5 — Personalized Plan: Based on your Nutrigenomix® results and your overall health profile, your provider will help you build — or refine — a personalized wellness plan that aligns your daily choices with your genetic blueprint. For patients already enrolled in Monaco's weight loss program, HRT, or other services, your Nutrigenomix® results will be integrated directly into those programs.

​

Nutrigenomix® Results — What You'll Learn

Your Nutrigenomix® report is a comprehensive, professionally interpreted document covering your genetic variants across all analyzed categories. It doesn't just give you raw data — it translates your genetic findings into clear, practical guidance your provider can use to build your personalized plan.

​

Examples of insights your results may reveal:

• You have a genetic variant associated with reduced vitamin D absorption — targeted supplementation is recommended

• Your genes suggest you are more likely to lose weight on a lower-carbohydrate dietary pattern

• You have a predisposition for higher saturated fat sensitivity — heart-healthy fat choices matter more for you than for others

• Your genetic profile indicates you're a slow caffeine metabolizer — timing and amount matter for your cardiovascular health

• Your fitness genetics point toward a strong response to strength training over endurance exercise

• You have a variant associated with increased omega-3 requirements — dietary sources and supplementation should be prioritized

 

These are not diagnoses. They are genetic predispositions — tendencies that, when understood and accounted for in your lifestyle, can meaningfully improve your health outcomes. At Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness, your provider will help you understand the distinction and use this information wisely.

​

Why Choose Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness for Nutrigenomix® in Bakersfield?

Genetic testing is only as valuable as the guidance that comes with it. A report full of genetic data sitting in an inbox is not the same as a personalized consultation with a knowledgeable provider who can help you understand what it means — and what to do about it.

​

Nutrigenomix® DNA Testing FAQ

​

What exactly does Nutrigenomix® test?

Nutrigenomix® analyzes specific genetic variants (called SNPs — single nucleotide polymorphisms) that influence how your body responds to nutrients, physical activity, and lifestyle factors. It covers areas including nutrient metabolism, weight management, food sensitivities, fitness response, heart health, inflammation, and eating behaviors.

​

Is the DNA collection process painful or invasive?

Not at all. The sample is collected via a simple, painless cheek swab — no needles, no blood draw, no preparation required. The process takes just a few minutes during your appointment at Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness.

​

How long does it take to get results?

Results are typically available within a few weeks of sample submission. Your Monaco provider will contact you to schedule your results consultation once your report is ready.

​

Is Nutrigenomix® the same as consumer DNA tests like 23andMe?

No. Nutrigenomix® is a clinically developed platform designed specifically for healthcare professionals to guide personalized nutrition and wellness recommendations. It is more focused, more clinically validated, and interpreted by a qualified provider — not a consumer app. The depth of nutritional and wellness-specific genetic analysis it provides goes well beyond what general consumer tests offer.

​

Will my results change over time?

No — your DNA doesn't change. Your Nutrigenomix® results are a one-time test with lifelong applicability. However, the way you apply those results may evolve as your health goals, life stage, and circumstances change. Your provider can help you revisit and reapply your results over time.

​

How does Nutrigenomix® support weight loss?

Your genetic results can reveal how your body responds to different macronutrient ratios (fat vs. carbohydrate intake), your predisposition for weight gain, how your metabolism responds to exercise, and which nutritional factors are most important for your individual weight management. This information allows your weight loss plan to be built around your biology rather than a generic protocol — which can significantly improve both results and sustainability.

​

Can Nutrigenomix® be used alongside hormone replacement therapy?

Yes — and it's a powerful combination. Hormonal imbalances and nutritional deficiencies often compound one another. Understanding your genetic nutrient needs can help optimize the nutritional foundation that supports your HRT protocol, improving energy, mood, body composition, and overall outcomes.

​

Is Nutrigenomix® covered by insurance?

Nutrigenomix® is typically not covered by insurance as it is a wellness and optimization service. Your Monaco provider can discuss pricing and any available payment plan options during your consultation.

​

Who should NOT get Nutrigenomix® testing?

Nutrigenomix® is appropriate for virtually all healthy adults. There are no contraindications related to health conditions or medications. If you have specific concerns about whether this test is appropriate for you, your provider will review them during your initial consultation.

​

What happens after I receive my results?

After your results consultation at Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness, your provider will help you develop a personalized nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle plan based on your findings. If you're already enrolled in other Monaco programs — such as weight loss, hormone therapy, or wellness injections — your Nutrigenomix® results will be integrated into those plans for a more comprehensive, personalized approach.

 

Ready to Finally Understand Your Body From the Inside Out?

At Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness in Bakersfield, CA, we believe that truly personalized wellness has to be built on truly personal data — and nothing is more personal than your own DNA. Nutrigenomix® gives you and your provider the genetic insights needed to stop guessing and start making health decisions that are genuinely aligned with who you are biologically.

​

Whether you're optimizing your nutrition, supporting your weight loss journey, enhancing your hormone therapy results, or simply investing in a deeper understanding of your health — this is the foundation that makes everything else work better.

​

Your genes. Your plan. Your results.
