Once, people used to say: “If you eat too much, you put on weight, so let’s follow a diet and you’ll lose weight”. Unfortunately the way to lose weight is not so linear, and despite great sacrifices and a lot of stress for our body we cannot lose weight, and if we do we recover it soon although we follow the same diet that works for our colleague.

But how can we obtain effective and lasting results? The secret is give up the old saying “we are what we eat” and replace it with a new scientifically demonstrated concept: “we are what we assimilate and, above all, we are what our DNA dictates to our body”.

The DNA Diet is a personalized program based on our genetic heritage that allows us to understand the real necessities of our body. Most of these are in fact written in our genes, and knowing what our body really needs to work at full capacity is like finding a treasure. Dr. Galimberti will help us to understand how genes – a sort of bricks that build the DNA ‒ are a precious source of information and will guide us to discover what is good for each of us: which foods are appropriate and useful, where to find the necessary nutritional supplements, what are the best physical activity and the most befitting behavioral and alimentary styles.

The DNA Diet is the answer to the need of feeling good with ourselves, because getting back into shape does not just mean to lose weight, but also finding a new way of living our everyday life.
