Benefits of Learning about Genetics
Learning about genetics is learning how to enhance your body's pathways rather than fighting them. We often struggle with basic foundational pathways such as methylation, which impacts NINE DIFFERENT PROCESSES alone.
Why guess how to help your body when you can test and learn your blueprint?
Many of us are genetically pre-dispositioned toward nutritional deficiencies or toxicities, impeded detoxification pathways, impacts on brain health, metabolism, hormones, cardiovascular function, and even DNA repair!
Instead of fighting our design, there are numerous SIMPLE SUSTAINABLE STEPS we can take to
turn our genes on & off.
Common Answers Revealed
Let's give some summaries that will help you decide if Genetic Testing is for you.
Remember that genetics are NOT YOUR DESTINY. Genetic EXPRESSION is your destiny.
Genetic markers indicate processes in our bodies, here are some examples:
Lipid Metabolism
Methylation
Detoxification
Inflammation
Oxidative Stress
Bone Health
Insulin Sensitivity
Hormones
Coagulation
Progesterone synthesis
Androgen synthesis
Estrogen synthesis
Sex hormone binding
Estrogen transport
Sulfation
Food Responsiveness
Lactose intolerance
Gluten intolerance
Vitamin metabolism
Caffeine sensitivity
Alcohol metabolism
Privacy policy:
The DNA and the original sample material are destroyed after 3 months, so that there are no names or other identifiers on the samples. The samples are analysed only for the SNPs that are included in the tests at DNALife, and no other research or analyses are performed without a separate permission from the patient. We do not give or sell the results to any third parties.
The differences in our coaching programs around genetics:
Unlock Your Code focuses on eliminating questions on your genetic makeup through addressing:
MTHFR -methylation
COMT-impacts neurotransmitters (rumination, anxiety, ADHD)
DAO-sensitivity to chemicals
MAOA-mood swings & cravings
GST/GPX-detoxification
NOS-cardiovascular health
PEMT-cell membranes & liver
The Anti-Inflammatory Longevity Program includes targeted, personalized recommendations as it includes genetic testing and the detailed report summarizing the priority of importance of your SNPs to improve health expression and TURN YOUR GENES ON AND OFF!
We dirty our genes through many different lifestyle factors: diet, exercise, hydration, sleep, environmental toxins and STRESS!
Genetic Testing Options
Download a sample report below by hovering over each test.
Health®
tests for genetic variations that are known to have a significant effect on health and susceptibility to chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, cancer, neural tube defects, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, amongst others.
*Most recommended test to utilize for foundational knowledge.*
Diet
tests for 15 genes that impact metabolism and exercise. The genes comprising the test have associations with body weight and body mass index, and all meet stringent criteria for utility in genetic screening tests. We provide a detailed report with recommendations that include dietary changes.
Gut
provides valuable insight into the genetic contribution of key biological pathways that influence gut health and allows for a deeper understanding of individual responsiveness to the environment for a healthier gut. Altered functioning of key biological pathways may weaken one of the five DNA Gut pillars, increasing risk for dysbiosis and predisposition for gut-related health disorders.
Mind
tests key biological processes that contribute toward the risk of development of mental health disorders may give insight to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease.
*Key information with history of depression, anxiety, ADHD, rumination, and mood disorders.*

Sport
tests genetic variants that influence injury risk, recovery, as well as power and endurance performance.
1-An explanation of their impact on sport performance, 2-injury and recovery risk
3-Appropriate nutritional and lifestyle recommendations in relation to health and sports performance, including power and endurance, athletic potential and key training principles, injury and recovery.
Hormone
a comprehensive nutrigenetic test analysing and reporting on metabolism and detoxification of sex hormones. It is designed to assist in the management of hormone-related conditions, affecting both men and women. The test analysis and reports on gene variants that have been shown to have an impact on sex steroid metabolism and biotransformation, affecting male and female health. Hormones tests for gene variants that have been shown to have an impact on how estrogen is metabolized and therefore may help individuals’ lessen the risk for developing breast cancer.
*Key test to consider for all midlifers!*
Skin
a personalised treatment strategy, based on information relating to your individual biochemistry and genetic inheritance. DNA Skin analyses variations on 18 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. From the information your DNA Skin test reveals, personalised lifestyle, nutrition, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical recommendations can be given for improved skincare and to decrease the visible signs of aging.
Smile
provides key insights on 20 gene variations involved in the key biological areas including Innate immunity, Inflammation and acquired immunity, Sweet-tooth predisposition, Detoxification, Lipid metabolism – all of which are central in the management of periodontal and systemic health. The report offers targeted, personalised diet, nutraceutical, lifestyle, and oral health recommendations to offset possible genetic weaknesses and optimise oral and systemic health outcomes.

Pain
Designed to enhance the successful and sustained management of chronic pain. By analysing the genes involved in biological pathways known to affect the risk of chronic pain, the report will identify key areas that are contributing to chronic pain, and more importantly, how to address these underlying causes through personalized diet, nutraceutical, exercise therapy, and lifestyle interventions.
Resilience
DNA Resilience reports on the seven key molecular areas that have the greatest influence on resilience.
They are:
Cortisol, oxytocin, the neurotrophic pathway, neuropeptide Y, norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin.
The report is able to determine an individuals’ genetic potential for resilience and provide ways in which intrinsic strengths can be amplified and existing weaknesses reduced. The action steps centre on highly individualised lifestyle strategies that leverage diet, targeted activity, environmental awareness, and nutritional supplements.
Active
is a genetic test designed to guide the personalisation of training and nutritional recommendations to optimise athletic performance. It provides insight into power and endurance potential, genetic risk for soft tissue injuries and how to ensure optimal recovery time between high intensity sessions.
Designed to guide you on your journey and to help you reach your performance goals.
Core
reports on gene-environment interactions and provides personalised, easy-to-follow, summarised recommendations on four core areas:
1-key biological processes that drive health including methylation, detoxification and lipid metabolism
2-macro- and micronutrient requirements based on genetic response
3-weight management insights such as obesity risk and eating behaviour
4-exercise responsiveness including power and endurance potential, and recovery time.
Note that this test includes all gene variants tested and insights reported in DNA Health, DNA Diet, and DNA Sport, in one user-friendly report.
