As a Lifecode Gx registered Nutrigenomics Practitioner, I can offer a wide range of nutrigenomics test panels via Lifecode Gx®

 

What is Nutrigenomics?

Nutrigenomics is a field of science that looks at how our genes interact with the nutrients and other bioactive compounds in our diet to affect our health. It is based on the understanding that our genetic makeup can influence how our bodies process and respond to different nutrients and therefore impact our health. 

 

By analysing your genetic information, nutrigenomics aims to identify specific DNA variations that may impact your nutritional needs and metabolism. But what's key is that the only genes looked at, are the ones we can influence by diet and/or lifestyle changes. This information can then be used to create a personalised diet plan for you, that takes into account your unique genetic profile, to help prevent or manage various health conditions.

​

In short, nutrigenomics is the study of how our genes and nutrition interact, and how this knowledge can be used to optimise your health and well-being.

 

How accurate are the DNA tests?

The genotyping data from Lifecode Gx® is more than 99.9% accurate. However, how the results are interpreted can vary. As a Lifecode Gx® Nutrigenomics Practitioner, you can be assured that the interpretation of your results is evidence-based, accurate and accompanied by relevant and practical recommendations. 

​

How do I do a DNA test?

A DNA test is quick and painless - all you need to do is a cheek swab. To do this you rub a cotton swab along the inside of your cheeks to collect any loose cells. These are then analysed by the laboratory and your results are ready three weeks later. Once I receive your results, I'll go through them with you in detail and use them to guide my recommendations for personalised food, supplement, and lifestyle changes.

​

It's worth noting that your DNA is constant throughout your life, which means that you'll only need to take one test to gain a lifetime of insights. By incorporating DNA testing into your nutrition package, I can create a tailored plan that takes into account your unique genetic profile, helping you to optimise your health and well-being for years to come.

Is my genetic data safe?

Lifecode Gx® prioritise data privacy and protection. They do not share or sell your data. They anonymise all samples and only use your data to produce your personalised nutrigenomics report.  After three months your sample is destroyed.
