A Key to Long Life - Nutritional  Genomics: Your Genes Are NOT Your Destiny

The leading-edge science of nutrigenomics is paving the way to discover what each person requires to optimize their gene expression leading to optimal health and a long, healthy life. Diet, life style and specific targeted nutritional based gene profile can enhance your gene expression.

Dr. Margie Smith is a Molecular Geneticist with over 20 years experience in Neuro-

genetics and Cancer genetics. She has worked in major teaching hospitals in New

Zealand and Australia. Specifically Margie worked with families affected by early-

onset Alzheimer’s disease and more recently in the diagnostic screening for

heritable breast and breast/ovarian cancer.

Working with an American based company Transgenomics Margie established high

throughout genetic analysis using WAVE Technology. This enabled breast cancer

screening to be used in diagnostic laboratories in Australia, New Zealand and

Canada.

Margie has published in the areas of both cancer and neurogenetics and she has

recently contributed to the publication Dementia.

Recently Margie became the co-founder of a Nutritional Genomics company called

SMART DNA.  This company has established affordable, Predictive and

Preventative Nutrition based genetic testing for practitioners and their clients. This

Nutritional profiling is personalised and covers a number of health areas including

cholesterol profiling, Phase I and Phase II detox and weight management.

SMART DNA is challenging the one size fits approach to nutrition and health.
