The Weight Release Shift™ is NOT a pre-determined diet, therefore, it does not fit any specific diet trend.

Only a very small number of our clients are good candidates to follow the keto diet, so unless your genetics indicate it, we will not promote a ketogenic eating style. 

 Many of our recipes use vegetables and minimal fruits, but our approach does include animal products, such as eggs and high quality meats (including beef).

All our recipes are gluten-free, however if you are able to tolerate gluten, exceptions can be made.

After your functional DNA test results are back, we are able to fully customize the plans to your exact needs, but if your intention is to follow a vegan diet, our approach is not a good fit for your needs.

The issue with most diets is that they are not tailored to a person's individual needs.

Functional DNA testing allows you to skip all the trial-and-error, ditch fad diets and find the exact approach that is right for you, based on your own genetic code.

We are able to get hidden insights about your health and weight, not possible without testing your DNA.

These include:

• The exact macros (protein, carbs & saturated fats) your body needs for optimal performance
• An in depth view of your metabolism hormones
• An understanding of neurotransmitters, and how they impact cravings and appetite regulation
• Great clarity on how to overcome the 3 major weight loss blockers (stress, poor sleep & inflammation)
• And so much more!

With this convenient, one-and-done test, you can get the answer to all of the above, leaving with a plan that works for life, after all, you DNA never changes!

First of all, Functional DNA testing is NOT a diagnostic test. It will NOT diagnose diseases! 

What Functional DNA testing will do is explain what areas of your metabolism, detox, stress management, sleep, etc are not working optimally and how to support them.

Our focus is on a whole-body approach, taking your goals and symptoms into account, then showing you how your genetics is contributing to the body processes you need help with.

Since we do NOT work with single genes, but instead we look at genes from an integrative approach, we are able to look at complex system with great simplicity and clarity. 

By understanding how your body is wired, we become able to support your body at the cellular level! 

We are 100% committed to keeping your data safe and we do NOT sell your DNA under any circumstances. 

Further, the laboratory we use and recommend for DNA testing keeps your data completely confidential. They do not sell any of your DNA data for profit and they do not share any information with 3^rd party companies. 

They are a genetic diagnostic laboratory that abides all proper protocol towards laboratory standards and confidentiality. Their databases are very secure and their laboratory has been successfully running for over 24 years. 

Once your sample is processed and the DNA is extracted, the sample is only held in lab for a few months before getting discarded completely.

The short answer is, it depends!

In order to provide you with our comprehensive approach to genetics, we require your raw data file.

The easiest way to know if the testing you've done is sufficient to work with us, please email us at [email protected] and please use the Subject Line: DNA Already Tested. In your email, please let us know which DNA test you've already done and we will be happy to assist you. 

If we are able to proceed with the test you already completed, we will be happy to remove the cost of the lab fees from your purchase. 

No! This is one of the most wonderful parts of DNA testing, since you DNA never changes, you are able to test it at any time!

Even if you are a woman in peri-menopause, the time of your menstrual cycle does NOT impact testing, so you are able to proceed as soon as you complete your purchase. 

Further, sample collection is NOT impacted by age, medications, current health struggles or hormonal imbalances. 

Given the vast benefits of this one-and-done test, the sooner you get tested, the better! 

While some providers do cover Juliana’s services in Canada, this varies depending on each benefits plan.

Please check with your provider if you have coverage for a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.

If you have a Health Spending Account (HSA), our services may also be covered, but please check with your provider as this varies from plan to plan.

Otherwise, you can save your invoices to share with your accountant at tax time, as it falls under health expenses.

Here is a short interview with an Employee Benefits expert, sharing how she was able to get 100% of her fees (for working with me) covered by her HSA. 

If you are outside of Canada, please check with your provider if the service of a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner is covered. 

Please note all services must be paid in full, before the work can begin, and you will receive an invoice which you can use to submit to your provider. 

This is a common question for those who struggle to release weight quickly, especially in this world of instant gratification.

The reality is that a lot of weight struggles were created by years of choices informed by negative thoughts — so, we will be honest with you, it will take some time to reverse this type of thinking.

Also, motivation is difficult to maintain when an external force is required to achieve it. Part of the transformation you will experience when you join the Weight Release Shift™ is to learn how to activate your inner motivator, so you can keep going with ease.

Plus, we offer different levels of support along the way and we don't stop until you get results!
