Nutrigenomics goes above generic nutrition advice, looking at individual variations in your genes, to create truly personalised nutrition and lifestyle guidance specific to your unique DNA.
With the latest advancements in science, you can now discover exactly what your body needs through affordable nutrigenomic DNA testing.
Via a simple cheek swab, which you complete at home, we reveal vital insights about your health and may even uncover hidden susceptibilities.
Whether you want to address specific symptoms, gain insight into potential health risks or optimise your health with targeted nutrition if you are feeling well, I offer a range of comprehensive reports to guide you on your path to vibrant health.
Please note nutrigenomic testing is not a diagnosis and does not predict with certainty that you will develop specific conditions, and it does not replace medical care.
Review the list of available reports below below, then book a complimentary call so I can guide you to the report is right for you
All consultations are offered securely online, making it easy to work together wherever you are in the UK or internationally

Why is it important for the body to methylate properly? DNA methylation is like a switch that can turn genes on or off. Imagine your DNA as a recipe book that tells your body how to make everything it needs to function. Methylation adds small chemical tags (methyl groups) to the DNA, which can help control whether a particular recipe is read or ignored.
This process is super important because it helps regulate many functions in your body, including how your cells grow and respond to changes in your environment. When DNA methylation works well, it helps maintain healthy cell function and can prevent diseases. If something goes wrong with methylation, it may lead to issues like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and other health problems. DNA methylation is crucial for keeping body systems in balance and ensuring that genes work properly!

This foundational DNA nutrition test is a great first report to start with. It explores how your genes affect nutrient absorption, metabolism, detoxification, inflammation, blood pressure and food tolerance. It reveals how your body may respond to foods like gluten, lactose and caffeine and highlights key nutrient areas to support with a personalised nutrition plan.
This DNA health report explores how your genes influence the absorption, balance and detoxification of essential minerals and heavy metals. It helps identify whether your body may need extra nutritional support for key minerals like zinc, selenium and magnesium, or whether you may have a reduced ability to clear environmental metals such as lead or mercury.
The Metabolics Report explores how your genes influence metabolism, energy production and longevity. It reveals how your body processes carbohydrates, fats and cholesterol and how efficiently your mitochondria generate energy. This report provides insight into appetite regulation, nutrient sensing and inflammatory pathways that affect weight balance, performance and long-term vitality.
The Methylation Report explores how your genes affect methylation; a vital process that influences energy production, detoxification, mood balance and DNA repair. It shows how efficiently your body uses nutrients like B6, B9, B12, choline and magnesium, and helps identify where extra nutritional or lifestyle support may be needed to keep these pathways functioning optimally.
The Hormones Report explores how your genes influence the balance, production and metabolism of key hormones including oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol. It provides insight into how your body regulates reproductive health, mood, energy, stress response and metabolism, helping to identify potential imbalances and guide targeted nutritional and lifestyle support.
The Histamine Intolerance Report explores how your genes influence your ability to break down and clear histamine; a compound involved in digestion, immune response and nervous system communication. It identifies where your body may struggle with histamine metabolism and highlights how nutrition, gut health and lifestyle can support optimal balance.
The Athlete Report explores how your genes influence performance, recovery and training response. It identifies genetic factors that affect cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as how you respond to nutrients, caffeine and sleep. This report helps you tailor your training, recovery and nutrition to enhance energy, resilience and overall performance.
The Detoxification Report explores how your genes influence your ability to process and remove toxins. It looks at how efficiently your liver and other organs break down substances like medications, alcohol, hormones, food additives and environmental pollutants. The report identifies key genes involved in both phases of detoxification and highlights how nutrition and lifestyle can support optimal clearance and antioxidant protection.
The Nervous System Report explores how your genes influence the balance of key neurotransmitters that affect mood, focus, motivation, stress response and sleep. It looks at how efficiently your body produces, transports and breaks down neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, adrenaline, GABA and glutamate, helping you understand your unique neurochemical profile and how to support it through personalised nutrition and lifestyle choices.
The APOE Report explores how your genes influence cholesterol metabolism, brain health and long-term cardiovascular function. It focuses on variations in the APOE gene, which affect how efficiently your body transports and clears fats from the bloodstream, includes related genes that influence methylation, inflammation, detoxification and neuroprotection. This report helps identify personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support heart and brain health.
The Thyroid Balance Report explores how your genes influence the production, activation and metabolism of thyroid hormones, which regulate energy, metabolism, mood and temperature balance. It also looks at genes linked to inflammation and autoimmunity that can affect thyroid health. This report helps identify nutritional and lifestyle factors such as selenium, iodine, stress and toxin exposure that may support healthy thyroid function and hormone balance.
