ADVANCED HEALTH TESTING
MyDNA genetic test Australia
Nutrigenomics DNA test
You only need to check your nutrigenomic genetics once for a lifetime of insight to instruct your preventative health strategy. This comprehensive practitioner order only test looks at 92 genes and 113 SNP’s.
Introducing the MyDNA comprehensive genetics test
Your genes are like the hand of cards you’ve been dealt, and while you can’t change them, knowing what you’ve been dealt goes a long way in helping you play a better game, for life.
Rather than focus on disease risk, this test empowers you with information on how nutrient deficiency or toxicity may play a role in affecting gene function, why certain health disorders may run in your family, and what you can actively do now to decrease the probability of disease through the application of diet, lifestyle and exercise to adjust the expression of these genes. This is an empowering test that analyses your base genetic blueprint. It is a starting point so that you can identify potential weaknesses and then learn of various ways to epigenetically improve them.

What does a nutrigenomics gene test help me with?
Identify your risk of potential imbalances across key biological systems to inform a personalised approach to prevention and optimisation:
- Macronutrient Metabolism
- DNA Protection & Repair
- Hormone Health
- Immune Support
- Methylation
- Mental Health
- Detoxification
- Cardiovascular Health & Athletic Performance
This advanced analysis reveals where your vitamin and mineral needs may be higher, which foods, drinks, medications, and environmental toxins you may be most sensitive to, and how your genetics interact with your family history and current blood markers.
This allows you to get a customised food list and in-depth research into the root causes of potential health issues based on your personal genetic and biochemical makeup.

Why we recommend this genetic test
We’ve tried and tested other DNA tests and the myDNA Comprehensive is significantly more in depth, specific and actionable than most others on the market.
With a focus on creating health rather than just understanding disease risk, you will walk away feeling empowered with lifestyle steps you can take to optimise your health now and for the future.
In addition to the insights you’ll gain into your health, move forward with peace of mind knowing your DNA has only been sequenced in a certified, Australian based laboratory.

Does this test analyse genes for hormones and neurotransmitters?
I’m very interested in inflammation – how do you cover this?
The report covers Inflammation very thoroughly from different points of view:
- DNA repair, which highlights underlying inflammation
- Toxin sensitivity, which highlights external causes that can flare up inflammatory responses
Does the myDNA Comprehensive test report on food allergies?
Where can I get genetic testing in Australia?
Should I retest my genetics?
No. You do not need to test your genes more than once. You can however, test your epigenetics if you wish to see how your genes are expressing.
I've already completed this test. Can you help interpret the results?
Yes. Our practitioners provide comprehensive interpretation of your test results and help you translate them into clear, actionable steps – ensuring your health protocols are purposeful, personalised, and guided by real data. Book a test interpretation session here.
