What Type of Questions Should I Expect to Answer in the Personalized Health Questionaire?

The Personalized Health Questionaire begins with creating a profile of yourself. Once you've created a profile, you may go back at any time to edit it. It is recommended to check and update your profile at least every six months for changes in health condition, medications, or allergies.
Privacy of Personal Information
"You may voluntarily elect to participate in the Personalized Health Program offered on our Site, a complete program that delivers a personalized health risk assessment (HRA), genetic testing, and customized nutritional supplements tailored to your personal health and nutrition needs.
The HRA collects Personally Identifiable Information, including personal health information concerning your nutrition, lifestyle, and health history. The Site automatically processes your HRA information through an algorithm specially designed to analyze your nutritional needs, develop nutritional supplement recommendations, and perform safety checks for toxicity and allergic reactions.
HRA information is securely stored in your separate HRA profile and accessible only by logging into the Site with your identification number and password. Note that others (spouse, family member, business partner) with whom you are registered under the same identification number and password can also access your HRA information on the Site. To protect your personal health information we encourage you to safeguard the password you use to access our Site as described in the "Protecting Your Information" section, below. Except as disclosed in this section, we do not share your HRA information with any non-affiliated third party without your permission."
In this personal profile, you'll record your gender, age, health concerns, current medications, and allergies. This information provides a safety check and is analyzed using a program developed by the researchers at the Nutrilite Health Institute. It is recommended to update this personal profile any time your health condition or medications change.
