The DNA Health approach helps the physician establish the optimal nutrition necessary for good health, longevity, and limiting disease risk.

Diet is a key factor in determining genomic stability as it affects all relevant pathways: exposure to dietary carcinogens, biotransformation, DNA repair and synthesis, and apoptosis.

Current recommended vitamin and mineral supplements are largely based on preventing deficiency diseases. However, because lifestyle diseases are partly caused by DNA damage, it stands to reason that we should focus our attention on defining optimal requirements for key minerals and vitamins to prevent genomic instability.

Further attention should be directed to individuals with genetic polymorphisms that alter the bioavailability of specific micronutrients and the affinity of specific key enzymes for their micronutrient co-factor.
