GENETICS
Discover your DNA blueprint
Unlock your genetic potential
Your genetic roadmap for optimal health
Genes are informative, not your destiny
DNA testing is not about diagnosing a disease. Your results show your risk factors or predisposition towards certain health issues or disease. There are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ genes, we all have inherent genetic strengths and weaknesses.
How your genes manifest is up to you and how you live your life.
Harnessing the Power of Nutrigenomics and Epigenetics
Nutrigenomics looks at how nutrition, diet, lifestyle and genes interact. Epigenetics is how your DNA interacts with your environment including generational influences. Variations in certain genes explain differing responses to specific foods, supplements, exercise, toxins, medications, infections and lifestyle factors, and how these can epigenetically influence turning genes on or off.
So, now you have the power to determine your health and prevent disease. Your genetic information provides a blueprint to navigate, with precision, the best direction to take.
Accurate Interpretation - Putting the pieces together
Experienced interpretation is important as just because you have a genetic variant does not mean it’s expressing. I have extensive training and experience in genetic, nutrigenomics, and methylation, MTHFR analysis, skilfully interpreting results alongside your personal history, current symptoms, lab or functional testing results and all underlying factors which can impact genetic expression but also how your genes are contributing to current health issues.
Benefits of genetic testing
Learn your genetic potential for:
- Methylation, MTHFR pathways. Important profile for inflammation, energy, liver detoxification, mood, autism, ADHD, fertility, preconception, memory and cardiovascular health.
- Mental health. Predispositions for mental health, cognition and memory issues. Includes methylation, plus other genes associated with mental health, neurotransmitter production and receptor function, nutrient cofactors, how stress hormones affect you, and other contributing factors. I offer separate testing to identify which medications may work best for you helping doctors with prescribing options.
- Individual nutrition needs. What nutrients (forms, types, doses and any deficiency risks); Omega-3s, B-vitamins B1, B2, B12, B6, Folate, Choline, Zinc, magnesium, calcium, Vitamins C, D, A, K and E, selenium, amino acids, antioxidants. Salt sensitivity.
- Diet. Tailor diet that best works for current health issues, prevention, weight, optimal fitness, wellness and longevity.
- Weight, Body Composition. Best foods, nutrients, macro ratios, fasting ability, timing of meals for weight goals and optimal body composition.
- Whole-body Health. Best practices for disease prevention or management; cardiovascular disease, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, bone health, osteoporosis, longevity.
- Inflammation and oxidative stress profile. Important health information given most illnesses have these as underlying or contributing factors.
- Hormone Balance: fertility, preconception, perimenopause and menopause, hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, fibroids, PMS, PCOS, adrenal capacity. and ability to cope with stress. Circadian rhythm for sleep cycle, weight management, hormone balance, how well you adjust to change in seasons.
- Liver detoxification. Ability to eliminate toxins and substances such as caffeine, medications, heavy metals, hormones, caffeine, alcohol, oxidative stress required for optimal health and recovery.
- Digestive Health. Risks for developing IBS, autoimmune disease, leaky gut, food allergies, coeliac disease , lactose intolerance, malabsorption, bile issues.
Please note: this type of testing does not;
- Predict the risk of diseases such as cancer
- Identify disease causing changes in genes
You only need to test one time! Your genetics will forever remain the same.
Your health is in your hands
Health is not a one-size-fits-all.
Our bodies are complex. Our genes don’t work in isolation, they work with each other. Taking a whole systems approach, I look at how genes work together in cellular and functional pathways to understand your unique health blueprint. Together, we will look upstream to get to the root of what influences your health at the deep cellular level.
Small consistent changes in our habits can work miraculous changes in our health and well-being.
Through the use of genetic, functional lab testing, and super-detailed case history, we can work together to discover your individual root causes and customise an action plan to get you the exact results you want without any guessing.
