Biological Areas covered in the Health Test are – Lipid Metabolism, Methylation, Detoxification, Inflammation, Oxidative stress, Bone Health, and Insulin Sensitivity. The test results will priorities these areas and indicate which of them needs increased support compared to standard health recommendations. In the cases where results in these areas indicate High priority it means that the area will require increased support with regards to appropriate diet, lifestyle, and nutraceutical interventions to off-set the imbalances in that pathway caused by the genetic variants you carry. 

For example, if the Detoxification area shows up as a high priority area it means that the area needs support because the process function in the body aids the removal of harmful substances such as pollution, alcohol & drugs, from your body.  

Intervention:  Increase intake of a variety of cruciferous vegetables (cabbage family – broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussels sprouts), preferable organic, to a portion per day. Relevant Supplementation can be added to support detoxification.

DNA Mind is a genetic test that reports on variants in genes that have significant associations with mental health including risk for addictive behaviour, cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. 

The test is suitable for those who are concerned about a family history of, or are personally suffering from mental illness, specifically around addiction, cognitive decline, or mood disorders.  

The Medcheck test should be considered alongside DNA Mind in these cases.
DNA Mind is also valuable as an adjunct to DNA Health for clients seeking to improve overall longevity, including mental wellness by refining their health routine with a targeted approach to diet, lifestyle, and nutraceuticals.

Feeling stressed? Battling to cope?

Our socio-economic environment has rarely been more stressful; resilience is the ability to ‘bounce back’ and mentally and emotionally cope under adverse conditions. This genetic test provides insight into your genetic resilience potential and is designed to help you manage your stress and perform optimally under adverse conditions. 

The report can determine an individuals’ genetic potential for resilience and provide ways in which intrinsic strengths can be amplified and existing weaknesses reduced. The gene-based action steps you will receive in your report centre on highly individualised lifestyle strategies that leverage diet, targeted activity, lifestyle changes, and nutritional supplements. 

DNA Resilience is a genetic test for individuals looking to cope better under stressful or demanding conditions, or lead more effectively in business, sport and life. DNA Resilience can help enhance your mental, emotional and physical health, and inform lifestyle strategies that enable you to live up to your fullest potential, overcome stress and excel in everyday life, from work to home. 

DNA Resilience reports on the seven key molecular areas that have the greatest influence on resilience. They are: stress axis, oxytocin, the neurotrophic pathway, neuropeptide Y, norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin.

Given the hereditability of emotional regulation (30%), temperament (±56%) and cognitive aptitude (>99%), a critical knowledge and understanding of individual genetics and environmental influences can unlock exceptional resilience and a performance advantage regardless of circumstances.

‘From potential to performance’. 

‘From surviving to thriving’
