NUTRIGENOMICS: PERSONALISED NUTRITION BASED ON YOUR DNA
Have you ever wondered why one-size-fits-all diets don’t work for everyone?
Or why some people thrive on certain foods while others struggle? The answer may lie in your genes. Welcome to Nutrigenomics, the cutting-edge science of how your DNA influences the way your body responds to food, nutrients, and lifestyle.
What is Nutrigenomics?
Simply put, Nutrigenomics is the study of the interaction between your genes and nutrition. It’s about uncovering how your unique genetic makeup affects processes like:
-
How your body metabolises fats, carbohydrates, and proteins
-
Your sensitivity to certain nutrients or foods
-
Your ability to detoxify and manage inflammation
-
Factors influencing weight management, energy levels, and overall health
Why Nutrigenomics?
Because YOU are unique. By understanding your genetic blueprint, we can create a nutrition and lifestyle plan tailored specifically to your needs. Instead of trial-and-error, you’ll get evidence-based recommendations designed to work in harmony with your body.

What can Nutrigenomics do for you?
-
Identify foods and nutrients that align with your genetic profile
-
Optimise energy, digestion, and overall vitality
-
Support weight management in a way that feels natural and sustainable
-
Highlight potential genetic susceptibilities and how to support them through diet and lifestyle
-
Empower you with insights that can last a lifetime.
Who is Nutrigenomics for?
-
You want to take the guesswork out of nutrition and focus on what works best for your body
-
You’re curious about how your genetics influence your health and wellbeing
-
You’re dealing with specific challenges—like energy dips, weight struggles, or digestive issues—and want a more tailored approach.

Nutrient Core + Methylation Reports
Perfect for: Boosting energy, mood, and overall wellbeing.
This combination looks at how your body processes nutrients and supports essential functions like detoxification, DNA repair, and neurotransmitter production. It’s a great choice if you’re feeling low on energy or want to fine-tune your nutrition and lifestyle for optimal health.

Metabolics + Hormones Reports
Perfect for: Managing weight, improving energy, and balancing hormones.
This pair provides insights into your metabolism and hormonal health, helping you understand why you might experience energy dips, stubborn weight gain, or hormonal imbalances. Together, these reports can guide you towards lasting changes that work with your body.

Nutrient Core Report
​
This foundational test analyses how gene variants can affect food tolerance (and intolerance), appetite control and blood sugar balance, vitamin and mineral needs, detoxification ability, and susceptibility to inflammation and infection.

Metabolics Report
The Metabolics Report transforms our understanding of how genes confer metabolic individuality and underpin energy regulation, longevity and healthspan.

Methylation Report
Methylation is the process of adding methyl groups, consisting of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms, to other molecules. It is involved in almost every metabolic process in the body, occurring billions of times every second in our cells and contributing to numerous crucial functions.

Hormones Report
Steroid hormones are a group of hormones derived from cholesterol that act as chemical messengers in the body. They are involved in the regulation of many physiological processes in both men and women, such as the development and function of the reproductive system, metabolism, inflammation and immune system.

Athlete Report
​
DNA sequencing has opened the door to personalised approaches to health and fitness, enabling a more intelligent approach to training, recovery and performance. In this report, we present elements of your unique DNA profile that have been shown to affect athletic performance.

Thyroid Balance 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.

Histamine Intollerance Report
Histamine has many functions: as a neurotransmitter, communicating messages to and from the brain and nervous system; triggering the release of stomach acid to help digestion; and it can also be released after stress, injury or allergic reaction as part of the body’s immune response.

Detoxification Report
Detoxification is the physiological removal of toxic substances from the human body. It is mainly carried out by the liver, and to a lesser extent the small intestine, kidneys and lungs. Substances such as nutrients, food additives, pesticides, medications, air pollutants, alcohol and hormones are transformed from being fat-soluble to water-soluble, allowing them to be more easily excreted from the body. The process occurs in two major phases: Phase I primes toxic molecules for deactivation and Phase II finishes the deactivation and prepares for elimination.

Nervous System Report
The nervous system supports the transmission of messages around the mind and body, enabling an individual to respond to their environment. A neurotransmitter is a molecule that carries signals between neurons and across nerve junctions (synapses). Excitatory neurotransmitters increase the likelihood a neuron will fire a signal, while inhibitory neurotransmitters have the opposite effect. In order for us to interact effectively with our environment these must remain in balance.

APOE Report​
The Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is best known for its role in lipid (fat) metabolism by helping to remove cholesterol from the bloodstream. It can exist in three main forms known as E2, E3 and E4.
