Nutrigenomics
DNA analysis can offer answers to health questions previously left unanswered.
Nutrigenomics investigates genes that can be affected by diet and provides a physiological map to inform personalised nutritional therapy and tailored dietary/ lifestyle protocols according to individual genetic profile.
It aims to lower disease risk and optimise wellness relative to any illness or health presentation by matching overall nutrient combination intake with genome status for optimal absorption, transportation and function. (Fenech et al. 2011)*
Our gene variance is our identity so thankfully we aren’t ‘perfect humans’ genetically speaking.
A reference DNA sequence template is used to measure our unique variances.
These differences dictate that our genes work within a spectrum of strengths and risks from highly functional to dysfunctional.
Regarding diet and lifestyle, understanding these variances help us decide . . . . .

DNA tests provide a clearer lens on health from the cellular level upwards and open a broader opportunity to thrive in wellness and feel good.

A simple cheek swab in the post allows an in-depth analysis of key dietary related genetic sequences (not all of our 20,000 genes!)
This non-invasive test can give a deeper understanding of a host of a health presentations, organs, systems and pathways.

No genes tested are diagnostic of disease. DNA analysis supports individual genetic predispositions via actionable personalised nutritional and lifestyle habits to move towards better health.
