With a simple blood spot test, you can better understand how lifestyle and diet influence your gene expression. While we can’t change the genes we’re born with, we can certainly influence how they behave. This helps me tailor strategies to help you optimise health, prevent disease, and enhance overall well-being. 

 

When can DNA testing be useful?

• When you are concerned about family history of chronic diseases of lifestyle 
• To get more information regarding the underlying causes of any chronic health issues 
• To provide important information on how common biochemical processes are working in your body e.g. nutrient metabolism and detoxification pathways 
• When you want to improve general health and wellbeing it gives you key focus points 
• To stop you spending time, energy and money doing the latest diets / lifestyle fads that really don’t suit your body 

Conveniently performed in the privacy of your home, these tests cater to individuals looking to enhance their health management strategies, mitigate the risk of chronic diseases, or those presently dealing with an illness or condition. Armed with the knowledge of your genetic predispositions, you gain the empowerment to make informed decisions and embark on meaningful steps toward long-term health and wellbeing. 

Combining the DNA testing alongside nutritional therapy or a coaching programme can help identify any specific imbalances or areas needing additional support. It allows for the most personalised and targeted nutrition, lifestyle and supplement protocol I can offer.

Tests I offer

DNA Core: € 309.00 

Nordic Labs most comprehensive DNA test. It is the starting point on your journey to personalised healthcare. This test reports on gene-environment interactions and provides personalised, easy-to-follow, summarised recommendations on four core areas: 

• key biological processes that drive health including detoxification, insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism 

• macro- and micronutrient requirements based on genetics 
• weight management insights such as obesity risk and eating behaviour 
• exercise responsiveness including power and endurance potential, and recovery time. 

NB: this test includes all gene variants tested and insights reported in DNA Health, DNA Diet, and DNA Sport, in one user-friendly report.?

DNA Health: € 225.00 

For establishing the best personalised nutrition and lifestyle approach to optimise health, increase longevity and reduce disease risk. Designed to optimise well-being and health to offset any gene variants that might alter availability and usability of specific micronutrients. Nutrition, supplement and lifestyle choices can then be highly personalised to an individual’s needs. DNA damage, impacted by nutrition and lifestyle habits, is a factor in the development of many chronic diseases. Using DNA testing can help define optimal requirements nutrient requirements for an individual, helping prevent further DNA damage. 

Recommended for anyone:  

• Suffering from chronic health conditions such as chronic fatigue, gut issues, cardiovascular disease, or insulin resistance 
• Concerned about a family history of chronic disease 
• Worried about the impact of their past / present diet and lifestyle 
• Wishing to optimise overall health and wellbeing 

DNA Diet: € 179.00 

For optimising weight management strategies. This test examines key genes influencing metabolism, appetite, exercise, and potential body mass index. Understanding these genetic factors can support in weight regulation, providing insight into why people respond differently to the same diet and exercise plans. Harnessing this knowledge allows for development of personalised diet and lifestyle modifications, to support regulation of weight and body composition.  

Recommended for anyone:  

• Focused on weight management (to lose weight or maintain an optimal weight) 
• Struggling with weight loss despite optimised nutrition and lifestyle 
• Wishing to gain insight into their personal responsiveness to diet and exercise  
• Wishing to determine their optimum diet  

DNA Oestrogen: € 179.00 

To assess and improve oestrogen metabolism for those suffering from or at risk of conditions associated with oestrogen-dominance, such as breast and uterine cancers, fibroids, endometriosis, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. The test looks for gene variants that have been shown to have an impact on how oestrogen metabolism and detoxification, providing information to guide personalised diet, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations.  

Recommended for:  

• Those with a strong family history of breast, ovarian, colon or prostate cancer 
• Women who suffer from oestrogen-associated conditions such as endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome, and fibroids 
• Women with a higher exposure to oestrogen (e.g. from oral contraceptives, HRT or in vitro fertilisation) 
• Women diagnosed with oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer 

DNA Skin: € 179.00 

For optimising the appearance and health of skin. DNA Skin analyses genes associated with the following key areas involved in skin health and aging: collagen formation; protection from SUN & UV exposure; inflammation; protection from oxidative stress. This allows for development of personalised lifestyle, nutrition, supplement and cosmetic recommendations for improved skincare and to decrease the visible signs of aging.  

Recommended for anyone:  

• Exposed to high levels of sun and UVs 
• Wishing to optimise their nutrition and lifestyle to protect against premature, and visible signs of, aging 

DNA Mind: € 179.00 

For understanding potential risk, prevention and support strategies relating to key mental health disorders including dementia.  This test analyses genes shown to have significant associations with key mental health disorders. It offers insight into the potential level of impact of genetic variants and how to manage them.  

Recommended for anyone:  

• With a family history of mental health disorders 
• Suffering from, or prone to, poor mental health 

• Diagnosed with a mental health condition
