Improve your health with Nutrigenomic DNA Testing

Nutrigenomics studies how our genes interact with the food we eat. It explores how individual genetic differences affect how our bodies process nutrients and how this impacts our health. By understanding these interactions, I can further personalise nutrition advice to better suit each person's genetic makeup. Nutrigenomics aims to optimise health outcomes and prevent disease by tailoring dietary recommendations to individuals based on their unique genetic profile.

By analysing your DNA obtained through a simple saliva swab, along with considering your medical history and symptoms, we can develop tailored strategies to optimise your nutrition and overall health.

Genetic Testing Reports

NUTRIENT CORE

This test evaluates how genetic differences impact food tolerance, appetite regulation, blood sugar management, nutrient requirements, detoxification capabilities, and vulnerability to inflammation and infections.

food response - gluten (coeliac) and lactose intolerance
caffeine - sensitivity and metabolism
microbiome - diversity
vitamin need - vitamins A, B9 (folate), B12, C, D and K
blood pressure
detoxification
metabolism - blood sugar control (insulin), appetite (leptin)
inflammation
circadian rhythm

HORMONES

Steroid hormones, derived from cholesterol, including progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol, play crucial roles in regulating physiological processes in both genders.

Hormonal imbalances may result in:

Decreased libido
Mood swings and depression
Reduced sperm count in men
PCOS in women
Weight gain
Impaired memory
Hormone-sensitive cancers.

This report emphasizes areas requiring attention to restore balance.

METABOLICS

This report transforms our understanding of how genes confer metabolic individuality and support energy regulation, longevity and healthspan. The pathways covered are:

Appetite regulation
Nutrient sensing
Sugar metabolism
Fat metabolism
Cholesterol and bile
Mitochondria and energy

HISTAMINE

Histamine is a natural compound produced by the body as part of the immune response. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including inflammation, allergic reactions, gastric acid secretion, and neurotransmission. This report considers:

Skin conditions
Gastro-intestinal tract symptoms
Respiratory conditions
Blood pressure
Migraines and Headaches
Insomnia, anxiety, concentration issues and ADHD

Histamine intolerance is frequently underestimated, or mistaken for a food allergy

METHYLATION

Methylation is a vital biochemical process involving the transfer of a methyl group between molecules. It's essential for many physiological functions. Imbalances in methylation - too little or too much - can increase susceptibility to chronic health conditions such as:

Heart disease
Circulatory problems
Chronic fatigue
Infertility
Immunity
Chemical sensitivities
Mood
Premature ageing

DETOXIFICATION

This report describes the genes, nutrients and lifestyle and environmental factors that can impact detoxification. Detoxification is the removal of toxins from the body, primarily by the liver. This process involves two main phases: Phase I primes toxins for deactivation, while Phase II completes deactivation and readies them for elimination. The pathways covered in this report are:

Alcohol
Mould
NSAIDS
Paracetamol
Neurotransmitters

NERVOUS SYSTEM

The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that transmit signals between different parts of the body. These neurotransmitters when imbalanced can have serious physical and mental effects. This report looks at:

Mood disorders & mental health
Addictive behaviours
Restlessness
Aggression
Sleep disorders

Some neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, are involved in regulating mood, emotion, and behaviour.

OESTROGEN BALANCE

Estrogen is a primary female sex hormone, along with progesterone. While essential for female reproductive system development. Estrogen promotes cell growth, maintains bone density, influences blood clotting, and impacts hair, skin, mucous membranes, and pelvic muscles. This report looks at:

Estrogen biosynthesis & elimination

This looks at markers such as aromatisation (E1 &E2) hydroxylation, the most favourable pathway is CYP1A1
