ADVANCED HEALTH TESTING
MyDNA genetic test
Nutrigenomics 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 this test help me with?
Gain insight into 8 core health categories to turbo charge your focus on longevity and health optimisation:
- Macronutrient Metabolism
- DNA Protection & Repair
- Hormone Health
- Immune Support
- Methylation
- Mental Health
- Detoxification
- Cardiovascular Health & Athletic Performance
It shows where your vitamin and mineral requirements may be higher, which foods, drinks, drugs, and toxins you may be most sensitive to, and how this applies to your family history and current blood work. 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.
