What is nutrigenomics?

There’s nothing we can do about our genetics, Right? ✋🏼WRONG! 🤚🏽⁠

In this amazing age of scientific discovery, the field of Nutrigenomics is starting to BOOM! We’ve all been taught that nutrition is an important tool to help our bodies thrive, but there is nothing that we can do about genetics. They are what they are! Now we learn, that isn’t entirely true! 🤔Ironically, this field harkens back to much simpler times where Holistic & Homeopathic practices where the standard of care! 🌿⁠

🧬NUTRIGENOMICS🌱 is “the study of the interaction of nutrition and genes, especially with regard to the prevention or treatment of disease.” ⁠

Essentially, the foods we and our pets eat “speak” to our cells to regulate gene expression. 😳⁠

So we are starting to learn that we can actually change the way genes are expressed and activated with carefully curated nutrition!! 🙀 In a world where our pets are suffering from chronic disease and inflammation (*largely due to highly processed diets*) it is so crucial to dive deeper into how these are affecting our pets on a molecular level. 🧪🔬⁠

And this isn’t just a war on kibble, and it certainly isn’t *WooWoo*— this is COLD.HARD.SCIENCE! 👩🏼‍🔬The book “Canine Nutrigenomics” by Dr. Jean Dodds & Diana Laverdure covers the importance of Optimal Nutrition and how it affects your dog on a CELLULAR level! 🦠⁠

⁠🥩 Using Nutrition to treat, manage, and even reverse a variety of health conditions ⁠

🥑 Using “Superfoods” to optimize gene expression ⁠

☀️ Learn how to choose foods which will help your pet thrive on a cellular level, and which foods lead to chronic illness ⁠

⁠

This isn’t just a question of what is easier to feed our pets anymore— not just trends and opinions— this is officially a conversation of what you are giving your pets to feed them on a cellular level. ❤️⁠

Start feeding like you give a damn! 🐺🐈
