The present invention relates to a computer assisted method of providing a personalized lifestyle advice plan for a human subject in which an individual's genotype is analysed for the presence of alleles at one or more genetic loci which may be associated with lifestyle risk factors, and the alleles present compared to a first dataset comprising information correlati ng the presence of individual alleles at genetic loci with a lifestyle risk factor to provide a risk factor associated with the presence of particular alleles in order to generate a personalized lifestyle advice plan. This may include for example recommended minimum and/or maximum amounts of food subtypes.
