Nutrigenomics & Nutritional Medicine

Nutrigenomics

Nutrigenomics is the scientific relationship between nutrition, genes, health, behaviour, and disease.

Nutrigenomics can help provide insight into implementing the best treatment interventions to prevent disease and maximise function.

DR ALAIN FRABOTTA integrates Nutrigenomics and Nutritional Medicine as key components of his holistic approach to healthcare.

Here’s how these areas factor into his practice:

Nutrigenomics: This involves understanding how an individual’s genes interact with nutrients and other environmental factors. Dr. Frabotta utilises functional and genomic assessments to gain deeper insights into a patient’s health. This allows him to identify genetic predispositions and pathways involved in the development of chronic diseases (such as inflammation, methylation issues, oxidative stress, and DNA repair). By understanding these genetic influences, he can then create highly personalised dietary, nutritional and lifestyle recommendations.

Nutrigenomics can help target:

  • Inflammation / inflammatory markers and detoxification genes

  • Oxidative stress and methylation - to support cognitive performance and promote healthy aging

  • Support mitochondrial function and cellular energy production

  • Cholesterol and triglyceride regulation genes

  • Regulation of hormone imbalances – fat metabolism, insulin and thermogenesis genes

  • The effectiveness of vitamin receptor genes.

Nutritional Medicine: Dr. Frabotta applies principles of nutritional medicine, which focuses on the role of diet and specific nutrients in preventing and treating various health conditions. He uses clinical nutrition, dietary and behavioural counselling, with natural supplements to support the body’s natural healing processes and optimise health.

This is part of his broader practice, which also includes chiropractic, naturopathic, and functional medicine, all aimed at addressing the root causes of complex chronic illnesses.

Essentially, Dr. Frabotta combines these disciplines to provide a truly personalised approach, leveraging genetic information to tailor nutritional interventions that are unique to each patient’s physiological needs.

Dr. Alain Frabotta’s practice is located at Woollahra Whole Health - 130 Edgecliff Rd, Woollahra, Sydney, AUSTRALIA.
