Diet Doc Launches Weight-Related Genetic Testing to Uncover and Address the Real Reason for Weight Gain

    LOS ANGELES, CA, August 13, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- At least 2.8 million adults die each year from obesity related illness, many of whom have desperately, but unsuccessfully, tried to get their weight under control. Scientific and nutritional research now suggests that genetic markers can identify and more personally and appropriately treat people who have had difficulty managing their weight.

Leading the nation in safe, effective and innovative weight loss methods, Diet Doc is pleased to announce the inclusion of weight-related genetic testing for their patients. New patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and schedule a consultation with one of the company's highly trained fast weight loss doctors. Genetic home test kits will be immediately and directly delivered to those patients who qualify for weight-related genetic testing. Testing for those who have difficulty losing weight will be performed by a major genetic laboratory located in La Jolla, California. At the completion of the study, the patient and doctor will receive a full, written report, enabling the doctor to recommend and design the most personalized treatment for each patient. A study performed in 2010 at the Stanford University suggests that following a genetic appropriate diet plan is capable of generating more than 2.5 times the weight loss results than following a generic diet plan.

Diet Doc personalizes each patient's dieting experience, beginning with a private, online doctor consultation during which the entire system is reviewed, medical conditions are assessed and unsuccessful weight loss attempts are discussed. The addition of weight-related genetic testing allows the doctor an even greater ability to diagnose and treat conditions that may be causing weight gain and to design the most appropriate method of weight loss.

Weight-related genetic testing is recommended for those patients who have tried every diet on the market with little or no success, for those who are being treated with prescription medications for conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, as well as medication to treat diabetes type II or those who have a family genetic link to any of the above. And, because Diet Doc is recognized as a medical weight loss program, comprised of doctors, nurses and nutritionists, who have been specially educated in nutritional science and fast weight loss, most patients will qualify for insurance reimbursement.
