The GenoType Diets


The GenoType Diets


"Broadening his approach to diet and health beyond the four blood types, naturopathic physician D'Adamo (Eat Right 4 Your Type) profiles six GenoTypes and explains how readers can reprogram gene responses to lose and maintain weight, repair cells, avoid illness and age well. D'Adamo draws on epigenetics, the study of the interaction between genes and environment, to argue that tailoring diet and lifestyle to "GenoTypes" (genetic survival strategies that predate ethnicity and race and correspond to such external traits as body type, jaw shape and teeth patterns) is the most effective means to achieve optimum health.

While conditions in the prenatal environment—our own and our ancestors—have profound effects on our genes, D'Adamo contends, readers can take control of their inheritance by turning on positive genes and silencing negative ones through methylation, histone acetylation and other biological processes. He provides methods for readers to determine their types; these include body measurements, fingerprints, and personal and family history. D'Adamo's dietary recommendations are flexible and consist of lists of foods that enhance each GenoType and foods to limit or avoid, but readers can find meal plans and recipes on the author's Web site.

D'Adamo's engaging writing style, enthusiasm for his subject and personalized advice will appeal to those who enjoy taking a hands-on approach to their health and exploring new theories."

Change Your Genetic Destiny

With Eat Right 4 Your Type and the Blood Type Diet book series, Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo started an international health craze and proved that when it comes to dieting, one plan does not fit all. In 'Change Your Genetic Destiny' (formerly 'The GenoType Diet'), he takes his groundbreaking research to the next level with a customized program that works with your genetic makeup to maximize health and weight loss, as well as prevent or even reverse disease. According to Dr. D'Adamo, a host of environmental factors, including diet and lifestyle, dictate how and when your genes express themselves. With the right tools, you can turn on the good genes and shut down the bad ones.

Using family history and blood type, as well as simple diagnostic tools like fingerprint analysis and measurement of jaw angle, Dr. D'Adamo shows you how to map out your genetic makeup to discover which of the six GenoType plans is right for you. Without expensive tests or a visit to the doctor, 'Change Your Genetic Destiny' reveals previously hidden genetic strengths and weaknesses, and provides a precise diet and lifestyle plan for every individual. Based on the latest and most cutting-edge-genetic research, this is a twenty-first-century plan for wellness and weight loss from a renowned healthcare pioneer.
