Switched On explores the ground-breaking science of Nutrigenomics, a new health care paradigm which identifies powerful food-derived compounds capable of ‘switching on’ or ‘switching off’ our genes as required by our cells. Anchored firmly in 21st century science, the era of Nutrigenomic Medicine has arrived.\nChanging the face of Medicine\nIncreasingly complicated technologies are employed to treat the common complaints which fill hospital and doctors’ waiting rooms daily. Chronic diseases, which are largely preventable, account for an alarming 70% of all deaths in the developed world. Many adults live with one or more diagnosed chronic illnesses, a dire situation we seem to accept as normal. So, if Chronic Disease is preventable, why don’t health authorities focus on strategies for promoting disease PREVENTION? Why are individuals left to discover this for themselves? Learn how to utilise the most powerful known nutrigenomic compounds responsible for protecting your cells and optimising their function. The result? Enhanced well-being, healthier ageing and much less need for drugs and surgery!\n\nCHAPTER TITLES FOREWORD by Dr Yael Joffe PhD, RN., FACN PREFACE INTRODUCTION Chapter 1 Has Modern Medicine lost its way?

Much of her work lies in educating clinicians on the\nimplementation of Nutrigenomic Medicine, especially as it relates to her Gut Ecology\n\u0026amp; Metabolic Modulation Protocol (the G.E.M.M. Protocol). G.E.M.M. is a unique system\nthat identifies the gut as the gateway for effectively addressing acute and chronic\ndisease through the implementation of Nutrigenomic Medicine.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 064530090X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.064530090X.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Houghton PhD, Dr Christine\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42802317918269,"sku":"BVV.064530090X.VG","price":10.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/064530090X-0_a9ce2637-05bb-4499-8317-6d911cecbc3c.jpg?v=1765660969","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/switched-on-embracing-the-science-of-nutrigenomic-medicine-1","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
