DNA testing is personalised medicine at its best.

Enabling you to be proactive with your health!

Nutrigenomics is defined as "the scientific study of the interaction of nutrition and genes, especially with regard to the prevention or treatment of disease".  


In simple terms it is all about how your diet can change how your genes are expressed, which can have a big impact on your health, weight, and fitness. What you eat won't change the sequence of your DNA, but your diet and lifestyle can turn on or off certain genes or change the way they are expressed, which plays a major role in your personal health outcomes. 

Nutrigenomics provides clarity on how you can better support your genes through personalised nutrition, specific supplements (evidence based to YOU and what you genetically need) and also lifestyle measures that support YOUR genes including type of exercise, sleep hygeine strategies, stress reduction activities and even if your genes would specifically benefit from Ice baths! 

With nutrigenomics you say goodbye to unspecific, impersonal fad diets, trending social media exercise plans or fad supplements!

When you understand how your personal genetics can be supported best it allows you to take a more tailored and effective long term approach to your health.

I am covered by a number of private health insurers who cover Nutrigenomics testing. If you have a private health insurance policy it is worth checking to see if you may be covered.

Thyroid Report

The thyroid is an endocrine gland in the neck that produces two thyroid hormones - triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), and calcitonin. Thyroid hormones control the metabolism of almost every cell in the body, with wide-ranging metabolic, developmental and cardiovascular effects. assesses genes involved with the thyroid hormone lifecycles.

Methylation Report

Experience a comprehensive methylation analysis, evaluating the chemical reactions that impact crucial functions such as detoxification, energy production, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation control, and immune function. Imbalances in methylation can increase susceptibility to chronic health conditions such as heart disease, circulatory problems, chronic fatigue, infertility, immune and autoimmune conditions, food and chemical sensitivities, and mood and psychiatric disorders, as well as cancer and premature ageing. Unlock vital insights into your body's methylation processes for optimized well-being.

Metabolics Report

The Metabolics Report transforms our understanding of how genes confer metabolic individuality and underpin energy regulation, longevity and healthspan. This report incorporates 40 genes across pathways including, apetite regulation, sugar and fat metabolism, cholesterol and bile and energy and inflammation.

FAQ

  • How accurate are DNA tests?

    The genotyping data from Lifecode Gx is more than 99.9% accurate. However, how the results are interpreted can vary. As a Lifecode Gx Nutrigenomics Practitioner, you can be assured that the interpretation of your results is evidence-based, accurate and accompanied by relevant and practical recommendations.  It's worth noting that your DNA is constant throughout your life, which means that you'll only need to take one test to gain a lifetime of insights.

  • How do I do a DNA test?

    A DNA test is quick and painless - all you need to do is a cheek swab. Once you placed your order a kit will be sent to you in the post. Once received all you need to do is rub the supplied swab along the inside of your cheeks to collect any loose cells, pop this back into the tube, seal and send back via the envelope supplied. Your swab is then analysed by the laboratory and your results are normally ready within 4 weeks. Once I receive your results, I will then go through them with you in detail and use them to guide any recommendations for personalised food, supplement, and lifestyle changes.

  • Is my genetic data safe?

    Lifecode Gx prioritise data privacy and protection. They do not share or sell your data. They anonymise all samples and only use your data to produce your personalised nutrigenomics report.  After three months your sample is destroyed.
