Nutrition and Lifestyle DNA Test

A DNA sample collected using the laboratory-approved collection kit is required. Follow the kit instructions carefully.

Results are usually available within 4–6 weeks after the laboratory receives the sample.

Your inherited DNA generally remains unchanged throughout life. Therefore, the test normally needs to be completed only once.

No. It provides genetic insights that may help personalise nutrition. Results should be considered alongside medical history, symptoms,
dietary preferences, blood-test results and lifestyle.

No. Genetic variants may indicate differences in nutrient metabolism or transport, but they cannot confirm a deficiency. A conventional
blood test is required to measure nutrient levels

No. HLA-DQ2.5 and HLA-DQ8 indicate genetic susceptibility but do not diagnose coeliac disease. Conventional blood testing and specialist assessment may be required.

No. Do not remove gluten before diagnostic coeliac testing unless advised by a qualified healthcare professional.

The test examines a genetic marker associated with lactase persistence. Symptoms, dietary tolerance and other causes of digestive discomfort must also be considered.

No. Genes may influence susceptibility, but body weight is also affected by diet, activity, sleep, medication, hormones, medical conditions
and environmental factors.

No. It may provide information about selected power, endurance and muscle-relate characteristics, but it cannot identify one ideal sport or
determine sporting ability.

No. Genetic variants may provide contextual information about connective tissue or physical characteristics, but they cannot reliably predict whether an injury will occur.

No. It does not diagnose anxiety, depression, insomnia, sleep apnoea or another mental-health or sleep disorder.

The sample and results should be managed according to the laboratory’s consent, privacy, retention and data-protection policies. Review
these policies before testing.

Yes. A bone-marrow or stem-cell transplant can affect some DNA-test results. Inform the clinic and laboratory before providing a sample.

Yes. Your results will be explained in clear language and considered alongside your health goals, diet and lifestyle.

You receive personalised nutrition, exercise and lifestyle guidance. Conventional blood tests or medical follow-up may also be recommended where appropriate.
