Val Prisecaru
MS, CN, LDN — Professor of Nutrigenomics · Genetic Wellbeing Founder
When you work with Genetic Wellbeing, you're not getting an automated report or a templated wellness plan. You're working directly with Val Prisecaru — one of the world's leading experts in nutrigenomics, with 25+ years of clinical experience translating complex genetic science into protocols that change people's lives. Val personally analyzes every test result and builds every protocol himself. That's the product.
Val's journey into nutrition, genetics, and wellness began in suburban Los Angeles in the 90s while attending UCLA, where he met Dr. Lloyd Stenbeck and others who introduced him to natural medicine philosophies. He went on to earn his Bachelor's (1999) and Master's Degrees (2002) in Food Science and Human Nutrition from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he headed his first human clinical trial exploring how macronutrients influence blood glucose, satiety, and energy levels.
Following his Master's degree, Val continued graduate studies deciphering oncological genetic pathways, assessing the impact of dietary lectins on human health, and imaging food crops through NMR and NIR techniques at the AFC-NMR and NIR Microspectroscopy / Dr. Baianu Laboratory.
Since 2018, Val has invested his energy in Atlas Genetics Inc., consultancy work with Designs for Health, DataPunk, SelfDecode, and others — as well as innovative genetic and microbiome systems development. He was among the first to launch a multi-omics wellness protocol in Illinois in November 2020.
Starting in 2020, Val became Professor and Program Director of Nutrigenomics at John Patrick University of Health and Applied Sciences (jpu.edu). He also serves as the in-house genomic consultant and product development team member at Designs for Health — the #1 most doctor-trusted nutraceutical company in the US. He is currently a doctoral student in the Doctor of Health Sciences (DHSc) program at the University of Bridgeport.
Val strives to deeply understand the power of foods, supplements, lifestyle choices, light and sound therapies, and mindfulness in promoting and optimizing health. Over the past 30 years, he has pursued this mission — translating complex multi-omics scientific concepts into practical principles that anyone can understand and apply long-term. He currently lives in central Illinois with his wife Renee and their three children.
