DNA Health® tests for genetic variations that are known to have a significant effect on health and susceptibility to chronic diseases. DNA Health reports on key biological pathways that govern overall health, and helps understand how genetic weaknesses in these pathways may increase predisposition to chronic diseases of lifestyle.

Clinical value

Can be viewed as a ‘foundation to health’ test and is therefore appropriate for any individual seeking to improve their health outcomes, be it those who already suffer health complaints such as chronic fatigue, gut issues, cardiovascular disease, or insulin resistance, or those who are concerned about a family history of a chronic disease of lifestyle. The test is also valuable for those who would like to optimise health outcomes and refine their health routine with a targeted approach to diet, lifestyle and nutraceuticals

The report provides

The level of impact of any genetic variants identified

• An explanation of their impact on health
• Appropriate nutritional and lifestyle recommendations

The results are divided in sections of key metabolic function, so that genetic weaknesses and strengths within a functional area can be easily identified.

Assessment of

Over 35 genes involved in key metabolic processes:

• Lipid metabolism
• Methylation
