Nutrisystem Overview: Unlock Your Blueprint to Diet and Fitness Success

Nutrisystem has been in the business of helping people lose weight and adopt healthier lifestyles for over 45 years. They provide recommendations based on FDA and USDA guidelines to support the development of better eating habits.

Nutrisystem has introduced the DNA Body Blueprint kit, aimed at crafting a personalized weight loss plan based on your genetic makeup. The key question is whether leveraging your DNA data proves effective in achieving your weight loss objectives. To delve into this inquiry, I conducted a thorough analysis.

It’s noteworthy that currently, the kit is exclusively available to individuals aged 18 and older in the United States. For those aged 14 to 17, parental consent is required to participate.

You have the option to order Nutrisystem’s DNA kit either by phone or directly from their website. They offer two distinct kits: the DNA Body Blueprint + Report + Nutrition Plan, tailored for non-members, and the DNA Body Blueprint + Report + Action Plan, designed specifically for active Nutrisystem members.

Here’s the great part: you are not obligated to purchase any prepackaged foods or meal plans from Nutrisystem unless you choose to. Both kits provide you with the same information. The only difference is that the Action Plan kit includes a 4-week plan to kickstart your Nutrisystem weight loss journey.

However, there’s a limitation to be aware of. Nutrisystem does not currently allow you to upload existing DNA raw data or download your raw DNA from their website. So, if you were hoping to use your data on another ancestry-related site, you’ll have to wait for that possibility.

How to Order and Complete Your Kit

Nutrisystem's DNA Body Blueprint Kit - Box with Instructions

As you can see, Nutrisystem’s DNA Body Blueprint kit features a simple swab collection method.

What’s in the Box:

A cheek swab collection toolkit with instructions and a secure postage-paid mailing envelope to ship your sample to Nutrisystem’s certified lab partner.

How to Complete the Test:

Don’t eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum for 30 minutes before you do the test. Collect your sample by swabbing inside your cheeks, then place the swab in the collection vial. Be sure to carefully follow the instructions and mail your sample back within the time indicated on the kit.

Mailing and Results: You’ll need to sign up for a free Nutrisystem account in order to register your kit and receive your DNA results. Your personal information is de-personalized – the lab processes samples using each kit’s unique ID number. Only Nutrisystem knows the name registered with each kit.

Your results will be ready to review in approximately 1-3 weeks after Nutrisystem’s CLIA and CAP-certified lab receives your sample.

Understanding Your Results

What can you expect to learn from your Nutrisystem DNA Body Blueprint?

It maps out your DNA, revealing how your body processes what you put into it. Here’s a quick breakdown of each report:

Vitamins and Minerals

Find out how your body absorbs and processes essential vitamins and minerals so you can look and feel your best. This helps you achieve the optimal balance of both by taking the right supplements and eating nutrient-rich foods, which can impact your overall health and immunity.

Vitamins and minerals covered in the kit:

  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin B12
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin D
  • Vitamin E
  • Calcium
  • Folate
  • Iron
  • Magnesium
  • Zinc

Food Breakdown

Are sweets and carb-rich foods a sticking point in your diet? Or maybe you’re not eating enough protein, healthy fats, and whole grains. See how your body handles specific foods, plus learn which foods Nutrisystem recommends based on your DNA makeup. Suggestions include generic foods and Nutrisystem prepackaged meals.

Metabolism

Your DNA could be the biggest factor in losing, gaining, and maintaining your ideal weight. Even if you’re genetically predisposed to weigh more or have a sluggish metabolism, Nutrisystem offers action plans that can help you reach your health and wellness goals.

Eating Behaviors

Can’t resist baked goods? Or do you often find yourself binging on unhealthy snacks, caffeinated beverages, and sugary sodas? This report can help you get back on track through healthier eating habits.

Fitness

Does the thought of going for a jog scare you? Or maybe you prefer the slow pace of yoga or an energizing dance workout? The right fitness routine can help you supercharge your ability to burn calories and lose weight. See which activities your genes have a preference for, whether it’s power-lifting, swimming, or CrossFit.

Personalized Nutrition Plan

A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for many dieters. This report includes a personalized meal planner and grocery guide to help you choose the healthiest options for your body. The nutrition plan doesn’t require a purchase of Nutrisystem foods, although they can complement any healthy lifestyle and dieting program.

Similar Tests to Consider

  • EverlyWell It offers a variety of health and wellness tests, but many are broken down into single-vitamin tests (B, B9/Folic Acid, D), which can add up very quickly. Nutrisystem’s comprehensive vitamin and mineral report covers the key information with a one-time cost. EverlyWell is still a solid option if you are looking for more in-depth answers regarding your health, including allergies and food sensitivities.

Pricing: A Decent Price for Personalized Dietary Insight

The Nutrisystem DNA Body Blueprint kit offers exceptional value, particularly when compared to other health and wellness DNA kits such as 23andMe. Leveraging Nutrisystem’s expertise in the weight loss industry, this kit provides personalized insights at an affordable price. Notably, you have the option to decide whether to join a Nutrisystem plan or purchase their foods separately.

Both versions of the DNA kit are priced identically, and Nutrisystem frequently offers promotions and discounts to help you save money.

The DNA Body Blueprint Kit & Report + Nutrition Plan includes the cheek swab kit, a 30-page DNA report, and a complimentary nutrition plan to aid in developing healthier eating and lifestyle habits.

For Nutrisystem members, the DNA Body Blueprint Kit & Report + Action Plan offers tailored support, including the cheek swab kit, a 30-page DNA report, and a 4-week action plan. With your DNA insights and nutritional guidance, you can customize your Nutrisystem plan for optimal weight loss results.

Additionally, Nutrisystem offers add-ons for those seeking further assistance. If you require clarification on your DNA report or wish to discuss your action or nutrition plan with an expert, you can consult with one of Nutrisystem’s counselors for a minimal fee. This contrasts with sites like Vitagene, which may upsell you on vitamins and supplements you may not require.

Customer Support: Lots of Channels, But Can Be Slow to Respond

Nutrisystem provides several contact methods, though many members have reported difficulties in reaching customer service, particularly by phone.

Alternative contact options include email, live chat (when it’s available), and traditional mail. They also offer a brief FAQ page that might address some queries.

In my experience, the most efficient way to get answers was through social media. Nutrisystem is active on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. They also maintain a YouTube channel and a Pinterest profile, which feature interesting articles, recipes, and more.

After sending a message to Nutrisystem on Facebook, I received an automated reply and then a response within a couple of days. This felt relatively quick, especially given the delays reported with other communication channels.

Your Body’s DNA Blueprint Can Help You Get on Track

If you’re serious about wanting to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle, I think it’s worth the cost to take Nutrisystem’s DNA Body Blueprint kit. Even if you ultimately decide to manage your own eating and fitness habits instead of signing up for its meal delivery program, you’ll still get a head start on taking charge of your overall health based on your DNA rather than a catch-all diet or workout fad.

It’s a bit disappointing that you can’t download (or upload) your raw DNA, but if you’ve completed any other DNA kits, you may have access to a little health-related information already. That said, there are a couple sites where you can upload your 23andMe and AncestryDNA data to unlock diet and fitness-related insights: check out GenoPalate or DNAfit.

You may also need to be patient regarding customer inquiries, but Nutrisystem’s support staff really does seem to care about helping its clients if you’re willing to wait your turn.

A final thought to keep in mind: the information in your DNA report is really just a starting point, not a cure or treatment for all that ails you. However, it can help you start a dialogue with a nutritionist or primary care physician, especially if you’re looking for answers regarding potential disease risks or weight-related issues.

FAQ

1. How accurate is Nutrisystem?

The Nutrisystem test is mainly intended for informational purposes, so it’s not meant to be a complete one-size-fits-all kit that’s 100% accurate. The reports can offer targeted suggestions based on your DNA, but it’s more about taking action through your eating and lifestyle habits to achieve weight loss success.

2. How does Nutrisystem compare to other Diet and Nutrition DNA kits?

The pricing is very competitive compared to other DNA kits and is in fact cheaper than nutrition-related DNA kits such as DNAfit. Other DNA sites may charge extra for “add-on” reports and pressure you to purchase their “personalized” vitamins and supplements, while Nutrisystem doesn’t.

Although you can learn more about allergies and food sensitivities from EverlyWell, if you’re only interested in how your metabolism works and which exercises could be the most effective for you, Nutrisystem can help without charging you a lot of money upfront.

You’ll also have access to extremely helpful customer support and a community of fellow Nutrisystem members to help you stay focused on your goals, something you won’t find on many DNA kit websites.

3. How much does a Nutrisystem test cost?

Both versions of the DNA Body Blueprint kit are priced at $99 US dollars, although you can score even more savings through discounts and limited-time promotions.

4. Is it safe to take a Nutrisystem test?

It’s completely safe to take the DNA Body Blueprint test – your DNA sample and personal information is de-identified – only Nutrisystem knows who each kit is registered to. The lab partners follow strict security and confidentiality guidelines and only know your kit’s unique ID number. Additionally, your comprehensive report is accessible only via a secure link you’ll receive by email.

5. Who should consider taking a Nutrisystem test?

If you’ve found it hard to reach your diet and fitness goals, the Nutrisystem DNA Blueprint can help you figure out what might be holding you back. Although other DNA tests offer this information, Nutrisystem can also help you achieve success through their highly popular and successful diet and meal plans using the information in your genetic report. It also offers a supportive community to help you stay motivated, accountable, and focused on your goals.

The one-time cost of the kit and optional counseling is also cheaper than hiring a personal trainer and nutritionist if you only need a gentle nudge to get back on track.
