Personalised Health Starts with Your DNA

Unlock deeper insights into your health with DNA testing. By analysing your unique genetic blueprint, we can uncover how your body processes nutrients, responds to stress, metabolises hormones, and more. This includes assessing your methylation pathways—a key process that affects detoxification, energy production, neurotransmitter balance, and hormone metabolism.

Understanding your methylation status helps us determine how efficiently your body activates B vitamins, clears toxins, and supports mental well-being. This includes evaluating MTHFR, a gene that impacts methylation, B vitamin activation, and detoxification. With this knowledge, we can create a highly personalised health plan tailored to your genetic strengths and vulnerabilities—helping you optimise energy, digestion, hormones, and overall well-being.

Whether you're looking to improve your gut health, balance hormones, or support longevity, DNA testing provides the missing piece to your health puzzle. Book a consultation to explore how your genetics can guide your wellness journey.

The test covers an extensive 92 genes, and 113 SNP’s across the following categories:

• Digestion

• Energy

• Hormones

• Stress & Cognitive Performance

• Inflammation

• Athletic Performance

• DNA Protection & Repair

• Detoxification
