Individualized Nutrition
Dr. Colicci’s application of nutrition focuses on nutrigenomics; the study of the effects of foods and food constituents on gene expression with relation to the increase and decrease risks of disease. The premise underlying nutrigenomics is that diet can influence health by affecting epigenetics, or the way each individual expresses their genetic makeup. Imagine having a family history of cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Now imagine reprogramming the expression of your genes to take it out of the picture for future generations. This is the application of nutrigenomics. This is an area of medicine which is being highly researched in current times.
Our facility uses the science of individuality developed by Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo, whom which Dr. Colicci trained for a number of years, instituting both the Blood Type and GenoType diet systems with a unique software program called SWAMI. After an extensive and in-depth intake, we provide our patients completely tailored nutritional guides, based specifically on not only their medical history, but with consideration of family medical history as well in order to apply a preventive approach to their health and wellness.
Nutritional guides contain 800+ different whole foods strategically placed into a diet completely their own using state of the art software. Patients are also provided with recipes containing foods recommended beneficial for them.
