COMPREHENSIVE NUTRIGENOMICS REPORT

90 MINUTE CONSULTATION

PERSONALISED NUTRITION & LIFESTYLE SUMMARY

A broad-ranging report, suitable for everyone, examining genes involved in food intolerance (including lactose, gluten & caffeine), appetite, blood sugar balance, vitamin & mineral needs (including vitamins A, B9 (folate), B12, C, D, K & glutathione), detoxification, microbiome diversity, sleep, and susceptibility to inflammation & infection.

For hormonal imbalance in men & women. Analyses genes involved in the synthesis, signalling, transport & metabolism of steroid hormones including oestrogen, testosterone, cortisol & progesterone; as well as hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) regulation. These hormones are involved in the regulation of the reproductive & immune systems, metabolism & inflammation.

Methylation is critical to keeping your body & brain biochemistry in balance. Common genetic variants (SNPs) can impact methylation & increase susceptibility to systemic imbalances & chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, sub-fertility, mood swings, depression, dementia, fatigue, autoimmune disease, allergies & premature ageing.

To optimise metabolic health, energy & longevity. Analyses genes that influence appetite regulation, nutrient sensing, sugar & fat metabolism, cholesterol & bile, mitochondrial function & inflammation.. To help manage your personal risk of diabetes, chronic fatigue, weight gain, cardiovascular & neurodegenerative conditions and optimise health span & longevity.

For psychological & mental wellbeing. Examines genes that impact function & balance of key neurotransmitters including serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, glutamate, GABA & the endocannabinoid system. Neurotransmitter imbalances can be seen in mood disorders, depression, attention deficit & obsessive compulsive disorders, addictive behaviours,, anger, aggression, mania & restlessness.

Analyses key genes for phase 1, 2 & 3 detoxification pathways & antioxidants for neutralising free radicals - these are critical for clearing alcohol, heavy metals, pesticides, moulds, pollutants, neurotransmitters, hormones & medications from the body. Genetic variants (SNPs) can impact these pathways & contribute to symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, skin disorders, allergies, weight gain, bloating & reflux, excessive sweating, chronic infections, sub-fertility, decreased libido and poor mental function & stress tolerance.

Reports on genetic predisposition to thyroid endocrine gland dysfunction. Thyroid hormones control the metabolism of almost every cell, with wide-ranging metabolic, developmental & cardiovascular effects; deficiency or excess can result in symptoms affecting weight, energy & libido, skin, gut & mental health.. Analyses genes involved in the thyroid hormone lifecycle of synthesis, activation, transport & metabolism, and genes that confer susceptibility to inflammation & autoimmunity.

For concerns around cognition, memory & cardiovascular health. Reports APOE genotype to assess risk for late onset Alzheimer’s disease as well as other relevant genes in methylation, inflammation, toxicity and cardio/neuroprotection. Also analyses genes involved in the three subtypes of Alzheimer’s - i) inflammatory, ii) toxic & ii) atrophic - described in the BredesenTM protocol. Understanding your risk enables a personalised approach to managing it.

For high histamine or allergic type symptoms. Analyses the key genes & nutrients involved in histamine metabolism. Histamine intolerance is a toxic response by the body resulting from an imbalance between accumulated histamine & the capacity to break it down. Symptoms of histamine toxicity can mimic an allergic reaction including skin irritation, gastro-intestinal upset, wheezing, headaches, insomnia & anxiety.

For optimising athletic performance. Outlines relevant genes that underpin energy & fuelling, musculoskeletal strength, cardiovascular health, and recovery & repair. Enables a personalised approach to training, recovery & performance. Whatever your athletic status, this test enables you to optimise: 1) Training: cardio-vascular adaption, strategic fuelling & structural strength; 2) Recovery: build resilience & reduce injury risk; and 3) Performance: balance stress & stimulation - to achieve your personal best.

Unique colour-coded pathway diagrams provide easy to digest visual summaries, alongside in-depth insights into the risks or protective potential of your genotype.

This enables a detailed, holistic understanding & identification of individualised recommendations that will be most effective.
