Abstract: |
A method of determining an optimum wellness regime includes identifying one or more traits—one or more physiological, behavioral and/or biological states of a user; identifying one or more genetic factors and one or more environmental factors of the user that are relevant to one or more of the traits; assigning a weighting to each genetic and/or environmental factor for the traits that defines the likely effect that the genetic and environmental factor has on the traits; calculating a trait score for each trait based on the weightings assigned to each trait; defining a trait profile for the user from the trait scores; and determining, based on the trait profile, a wellness regime that is optimized to the goals of the user. |

US20190267128
|
1. A method of determining an optimum wellness regime that best meets one or more wellness goals of a user, said method comprising the steps of:
(1)
(7)
|
|
4. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the step of determining a wellness regime further comprises the step of:
(1)
(1)
|
|
7. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the traits include one or more of insulin sensitivity; obesity risk; gut microbiome profile; blood testosterone levels; dyslipidaemia, lactose intolerance, blood triglycerides level, blood glucose levels, oxidative muscle dominance, saturated fat level, satiety, folate metabolism, homocysteine levels, methionine levels, caffeine metabolism, hypertension levels, omega 6 intake or omega 3 to 6 ratio, circadian rhythm, sleep disturbance, trainable VO2 max, salt sensitivity, workout recovery between workout sessions, workout recovery during a workout session, lactate clearance levels, basal metabolism, lean body mass, endurance capability, power capability, conscious restraint, binge eating propensity, emotional eating propensity, eating behaviour and body fat. (0)
|
|
8. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the genetic factors are genetic variants.
(1)
(0)
|
|
10. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the trait profile characterises biological systems of the user, said biological systems providing a representation of the user's physiological, behavioural and biological propensities and/or health status.
(1)
(0)
|
|
12. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein at least one genetic factor, and/or at least one environmental factor, are relevant to multiple traits. (0)
|
|
13. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the weighting assigned to the genetic factors, and/or the weighting assigned to the environmental factors, are different for different traits. (0)
|
|
14. A method according to any preceding claim wherein the wellness regime is one or a combination of a nutrition plan, wellbeing plan, fat loss plan, muscle building plan, strength training plan, microbiotic supplementation plan, or a medical regime. (0)
|
|
15. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the wellness regime is selected from a database of known wellness regimes. (0)
|
|
16. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein trait scores are calculated from the interaction between one or more genetic factors, between one or more environmental factors, and/or between a combination of genetic and environmental factors for each or a combination of traits. (0)
|
|
17. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein separate trait scores are calculated for each separate trait or for combinations of traits. (0)
|
|
19. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein a trait score is modified by direct biophysical data.
(1)
(0)
|
|
22. A method of any preceding claim wherein the step of determining a trait score comprises the step of: cross-referencing the one or more genetic factors and/or the one or more environmental factors relevant to said trait and calculating the trait score for each trait based on the cross-referencing. (0)
|
|
23. A method of any preceding claim, wherein the step of calculating the trait profile comprises the steps of:
(0)
(2)
|
|
24. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the trait profile is calculated from the hierarchical, synergistic, additive, subtractive or antagonistic interaction of the trait scores. (0)
|
|
25. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the step of calculating a trait profile comprises the step of weighting the trait scores according to the wellness goals of the user. (0)
|
|
26. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the weighting of a genetic or environmental factor for a trait is zero. (0)
|
|
27. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the step of determining a wellness regime that is optimised for the user comprises the step of matching said trait profile to one or more reference trait profiles.
(1)
(0)
|
|
31. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the trait profile suggests the user's propensities to phenotypic expressions. (0)
|
|
32. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the genetic and environmental factors are scored according to ensemble research to determine a factor score indicative of the user's genetic and environmental factors compared to the ensemble research.
(1)
(0)
|
|
34. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the genetic and environmental factors are scored according to feedback from the and/or other users to determine a feedback score indicative of users feedback. (0)
|
|
35. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the trait scores are modified using the feedback score of each genetic and environmental factor. (0)
|
|
36. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the step of determining which wellness regime is optimised includes the steps of:
(1)
(3)

38. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the step of determining which wellness regime comprises the steps of:
(1)
(2)
|
|
40. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the user provides a feedback response regarding the wellness regime. (0)
|
|
41. The method of any preceding claim, wherein the step of determining a wellness regime comprises the step of selecting a wellness regime based on previous user feedback responses.

|
|
50.
