Nutrigenomics
Genetic testing enables us to look in detail at our DNA. This biological code doesn’t just impact gender, height and eye colour – it tells the body how to do everything, from how well you absorb and use specific nutrients to how readily you store excess energy as fat.
We’re all different and we all carry different variations in our genetic code. This will be the reason your friend can drink a strong black coffee before bed and go straight to sleep and yet you know, if you do, you’ll be awake half the night! This is all determined by the genetic variants you carry.

What is nutrigenomic testing?
Nutrigenomics is the science of how nutrition and lifestyle interact with our genes. While our genetic code is fixed, gene expression, i.e. whether the genes are turned ‘on’ or ‘off’, can be influenced by diet and lifestyle choices, and these ultimately will affect our long-term health. |

A simple, accurate, one-off home saliva test gives you a detailed report, which you can refer to time and again. Knowledge of your genetic variants empowers you to focus on the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you. This takes personalised nutrition to the next level and helps you work with your body for optimal health now and in the future.
I use Lifecode GX for testing and then work with you to interpret your results and support you in implementing the information in a practical way to benefit your overall health and wellbeing.

Is it for me?
Absolutely! Whether you’re simply curious for a better understanding of your genes, and want to make positive nutrition and lifestyle changes that optimise your current and long-term health, or if you want to throw light on unexplained symptoms, a nutrigenomic report can provide you with the information. Either way, you will find it interesting and informative. |
Lifecode GX
Lifecode GX offers a range of specialist reports, from their basic Nutrient Core report, which focuses on personalised requirements for nutrients and is relevant to everyone, to specialist reports looking at nervous system function, hormone balance or detoxification. They identify the most relevant and actionable variants and give in-depth insights into the risk or protective potential of each genotype and provide targeted dietary and lifestyle recommendations to support each; all supported by the latest referenced science.
Lifecode participates with scientific research projects and academic institutions, and no data is shared. Head to https://www.lifecodegx.com/products, to find out more, or get in touch with me to discuss the test in more detail.
