Nutrigenomics Testing: DNA Health
How nutrition and diet impact your genetics
Using a simple mouth swab, nutrigenomics testing analyses your genetic makeup to identify specific variations (SNPs) that influence how your body responds to foods and nutrients. These variations shape our unique traits and affect our responses to factors like food and the environment. By understanding your genetic predispositions, I can tailor nutrition plans to meet your body's needs, promoting optimal health.
As a certified Lifecode GX nutrigenomics practitioner, I offer a range of specialised nutrigenomics test panels. These panels delve into how nutrition and lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress and environmental chemicals influence your genetic potential.
The reports cover various aspects, including nervous system function, hormone balance, detoxification, metabolism, thyroid function, circadian rhythm and your body's production of essential nutrients like vitamins, fats and sugars.
Why Get Nutrigenomics Testing?
Your genes hold the blueprint to how your body interacts with the world around it, including the foods you eat and the lifestyle choices you make. Nutrigenomics testing empowers you with this knowledge, allowing for a deep understanding of your body's unique nutritional needs and potential health risks.
By uncovering your genetic predispositions, we can design a nutrition and lifestyle plan tailored to your individual needs, helping you to:
-
Optimise nutrient intake and identify the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function at its best.
-
Proactively support your health by addressing potential risks linked to your genetic makeup.
-
Make informed lifestyle choices by understanding your body’s response to stress, sleep and environmental factors, and take action to improve resilience.

Nutrigenomics Tests Explained
Nutrient Core
This report sheds light on your body's needs for vitamins and minerals, appetite and blood sugar control, circadian rhythm, and your ability to detoxify caffeine and fight inflammation and infections.
Metabolics
Metabolism drives all the chemical reactions that keep you going. This report delves into your metabolic blueprint to gain insights into your energy levels, cellular function and longevity.
Hormones
This report examines how your genes influence the production and activity of steroid hormones necessary for reproduction, metabolism and immune response.
Methylation
Methylation is a vital process in your body, affecting metabolism, DNA repair and detoxification. This report examines how your genes influence methylation.
Histamine Intolerance
Histamine isn't just about allergies; it also affects digestion and immune response. This report explores how your genes impact histamine levels and how your body responds to it.
Detoxification
Your body's detox pathways remove harmful substances to maintain health. This report examines how your genes impact detoxification, from liver toxin breakdown to elimination.
Nervous System
The nervous system is the communication network of your body. This report looks into how neurotransmitters, the messengers of the nervous system, are influenced by your genes.
Thyroid Balance
Your thyroid regulates metabolism and growth. This report examines how your genes impact thyroid hormone activity, revealing insights into your metabolism and energy levels.
