DNA Health Testing
What is DNA Health Testing? ​The DNA Life® Health tests give you the information to enable you to optimise your health by personalising lifestyle and diet choices and, where necessary, using supplements tailored to offset any particular nutritional deficit based on your specific genetic code.
Your DNA never changes so you only ever do one test (a simple fingerprick/cheek swab) to discover exactly what your body needs for optimum health! ​The DNA Health test enables you to establish the optimum nutrition necessary for good health, longevity and reducing your risk of chronic disease.
​
We cannot change our genes, but we can influence how they are turned on/off
Nutrition is a key factor in determining how our genes are turned on/off as what we eat impacts on all relevant pathways including biotransformation, DNA repair and synthesis, and apoptosis. We are all as unique as our DNA and we all have genetic polymorphisms (variances) that alter how we metabolise certain vitamins and the bioavailability of specific micro-nutrients.
Harness the Power of DNA Health Testing to Optimise Your Health
The DNA health test can tell us what genes need extra support and how we can support them through nutrition, lifestyle and sometimes targeted supplements.​ Current recommended dietary allowances for vitamins and minerals are based largely on the prevention of diseases of deficiency. However, because diseases of lifestyle are partly caused by damage to DNA it's clear we should focus our attention on defining individual optimal requirements of key minerals and vitamins to prevent DNA damage and thereby reduce our risk of disease.
How To Do The Test?
The process is very easy and can be done from the comfort of your own home. The test gets delivered directly by DHL couriers to the clients house. It is a simple finger prick blood spot test (using the lancet provided). When you have completed the test you call the courier (DHL) to arrange collection. The test is picked up from clients house (within 24-48hours) and sent to Nordic laboratories. The results are then sent to me within 10-15 days.​
When The Results Are Received
Once I have received the test results you will receive an email to book in for your consultation. You will have received a full Health Questionnaire and Food Dairy when ordering your test and that will have to be completed and sent to me within 10 days. I will then combine the information from this questionnaire with the results from your DNA test and design a full Nutrition and Lifestyle Protocol for you. You have the option of using an App to make it easier for you to follow your plan. This will be explained in full at your initial consultation. There will then be a follow up consultation 6 weeks later to review your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your Nutrition and Lifestyle Plan.​
Who is DNA Testing For?
We are all unique individuals so when it comes to nutrition, exercise, stress, sleep, mindset there is no one size fits all. Learning about what works for you based on your DNA is the best way to optimise your health and wellness and by dong so you can reduce your risk of many chronic diseases and increase your lifespan and healthspan.
This is the future of healthcare, prevention rather than cure!
