Genetic testing and analysis

This test analyses how gene variants can affect food tolerance (and intolerance), appetite control and blood sugar balance, vitamin and mineral needs, detoxification ability, and susceptibility to inflammation and infection.

I recommend that everyone has this report. It provides a basic understanding of how your body handles key nutrients including Vitamins A , B9 (folate), B12, C, D & K as well as your response to caffeine and lactose.

This is the report that everyone needs! Anyone who is interested to understand and improve their long term health will benefit from this report. It reports on genes that affect energy regulation, longevity and lifespan. It also covers appetite and food choices, so is a natural choice for anyone struggling to control their weight.

The Hormones test analyses genes involved in the regulation, synthesis, signalling, transport and metabolism of steroid hormones. Symptoms of steroid hormone imbalance  include: infertility, low libido and sex drive, low sperm count, acne, excess facial hair in women, PCOS, blood clots, mood swings, depression, substance misuse, poor memory, weight gain (belly fat for men), breast appearances in men, and hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast cancer or prostate cancer.

Methylation is involved in almost every metabolic process in the body. Imbalances in methylation can increase susceptibility to chronic health conditions such as heart disease, circulatory problems, chronic fatigue, infertility, immune and autoimmune conditions, food and chemical sensitivities, and mood and psychiatric disorders, as well as cancer and premature ageing.

Methylation issues are probably behind most, if not all, chronic illnesses. This report has been made famous by Gary Brecka and is now one of the most popular reports we do. Anyone who is serious about their health should have this report done.

Histamine has many functions, includig acting a s a neurotransmitter, aiding digestion and it is released after stress, injury or allergic reaction as part of the body’s immune response.

When the body is unable to break histamine down quickly enough it becomes toxic. Symptoms of histamine toxicity  include skin irritation or breathing difficulties, digestive problems, headaches, insomnia and anxiety.

The Histamine Intolerance test analyses the genes and nutrients needed to breakdown and remove histamine, showing where disruptions occur and how to support optimal function.

Detoxification is the physiological removal of toxic substances from the human body. Poor detoxification can cause symptoms such as headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, allergies, skin disorders, weight gain, bloating, acid reflux and heartburn, excessive sweating, chronic infections, subfertility, low libido, poor mental function and low stress tolerance.

The detoxification report identifies personalised nutritional support required to optimise detoxification.

The Nervous System report analyses gene variants that impact serotonin (contentment) and melatonin (sleep), dopamine (motivation), noradrenaline and adrenaline (fight or flight); glutamate (the major excitatory neurotransmitter); GABA (the major inhibitory neurotransmitter) which is critical for relaxation; and endoCannabinoids (AEA/ anandamide) which regulate other neurotransmitters.

Thyroid health impacts every cell in our bodies. Many people have sub-optimal thyroid health which can result in weight gain, fatigue, low libido, cold intolerance, dry skin, constipation and depression. Diet and genetics impact on thyroid health, but anyone with thyroid issues, especially there is a family history, will benefit from this report that provides a clear understanding of their personal genetic factors.
