DNA Testing
What is DNA nutrition testing?
DNA nutrition testing is a process of analysing your genetic profile to determine how your body processes and utilises certain nutrients. The analysis looks at variations in your DNA that can affect your metabolism, nutrient absorption, and overall nutrient needs.
What are the benefits of DNA nutrition testing?
DNA nutrition testing can provide you with valuable insights into your unique nutritional needs and help you make informed decisions about your diet and lifestyle. Here are some of the benefits of DNA nutrition testing:
Personalised nutrition recommendations
Based on the results of your DNA nutrition testing, our team of experts can provide you with personalised nutrition recommendations that are tailored to your unique needs. This can help you optimise your diet and improve your overall health and well-being.Improved weight management
Research has shown that our genetic makeup can play a role in our weight management. DNA nutrition testing can help identify any genetic factors that may be impacting your weight and provide you with strategies to promote weight loss.Better nutrient absorption
Our genetic makeup can affect how our body absorbs and utilises certain nutrients. DNA nutrition testing can help identify any genetic variations that may be impacting your nutrient absorption and provide you with strategies to optimise your nutrient intake.Prevention of chronic diseases
Research has shown that our genetic makeup can play a role in the development of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. DNA nutrition testing can help identify any genetic factors that may be increasing your risk of these diseases and provide you with strategies to prevent them.
Aspects of Nutrition Analysed
The test will analyse various aspects of your nutrition as your body will react differently. Some traits we test include:
Food sensitivity and allergies:
Do caffeine and alcohol affect you more than those around you? Do you suspect gluten or lactose to be a culprit in your discomfort? Our test can determine foods or beverages that you may benefit from limiting in your diet.Metabolic health factors:
Your genes indicate how well your body metabolises fats and sugars, which can lead to high levels of bad cholesterol or blood glucose.Vitamin deficiencies:
Just because you eat foods high in certain vitamins and minerals doesn’t mean that your body is able to properly absorb and process them.Eating behaviors:
Have you ever eaten a substantial meal but still felt hungry afterwards? Or maybe you struggle with poor appetite? Your genes can have a significant impact on your satiety and cravings, which can lead to weight changes.
