NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Are you tired of trying all those diet plans that just never seem to work?

Dr. Kelly Burkenstock with Skin Body Health in Metairie and Mandeville has an answer for you. It’s in your genes.

“By obtaining a simple swab from your mouth, we’re able to see your DNA and create a custom plan for you, taking your DNA, blood sugar, thyroid, hormone and any vitamin or mineral deficiency you may have, combine those and then get a custom plan directed to you,” she explains.

DNA is the reason why you and your friend can get on the same diet plan, and she might lose 10-15 pounds while you lose nothing.
