Weight Loss and Obesity
Personalized tests to detect metabolites (small molecules) and gene variants associated with obesity and weight loss
How many of us start a diet and exercise, lose a few pounds and then gain them back after a while? Weight management and weight loss is a process that requires systematicity and lifestyle change, because it is not only in your will but also in your biology.
Obesity, therefore, is not just a chronic condition – it is a global public health challenge that requires innovative solutions. Are you dealing with excessive fat accumulation and the health risks that come with it, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease? At FGA Center, we not only understand the complexity of this situation, but we are here to help you overcome it.
The Invisible Enemies of Health: What Leads to Obesity?
Obesity occurs when the body receives more energy than it consumes. But what is behind this energy imbalance ? The answer lies in a combination of hereditary, physiological and environmental factors.
1. Heredity and Genes: Genetic variants and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified through genomic studies play an important role in the predisposition to obesity.
For more information, visit our epigenome page.
2. Unhealthy Lifestyle: Bad eating habits, lack of exercise and other unhealthy lifestyle choices are key factors. Poor sleep, for example, can dramatically affect physical and mental health, leading to weight gain.

3. Environmental Endocrine Disruptors: Exposure to toxic chemicals, such as PFASs, can increase the body’s susceptibility to obesity.
For more information, see our page on dangerous levels of toxic chemicals .
4. Energy Intake and Expenditure: Obesity occurs when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure.

The FGA Center solution
With the latest science and specialized tests, we evaluate the genetic, physiological and environmental factors that contribute to obesity. We analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and associated genetic variants to provide you with a personalized approach to fighting excess weight.
Our program includes:
- Personalized Metabolite Analysis: We identify the metabolites associated with fat gain, insulin resistance and the inability to burn fat.
- Personalized Nutrition Programs: According to your specialized results, we design nutrition programs that meet your needs.
- Nutritional Supplements and Lifestyle: We provide advice on specific supplements and lifestyle changes to help you achieve your goals.
- Ongoing Support: We monitor the biological challenges that arise after weight loss to ensure your long-term success.
Discover the possibilities science gives us for transformation and wellness with the help of the FGA Center.
