Since our genes are fixed from birth, the age of testing makes no difference to the results. The Nutrient Core report is a broad-ranging report, suitable for all ages, looking at genes involved in food intolerance (including lactose, gluten and caffeine), appetite, blood sugar, vitamin and mineral needs (including vitamins A and D), detoxification, microbiome diversity, sleep, and susceptibility to inflammation and infection.
Children (a child under 18 years of age) can conduct a test with a parent or guardian’s consent.

This report delves into genetic variations impacting nutrient metabolism, offering insights into personalised dietary needs. It identifies genes influencing the absorption, utilisation, and metabolism of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. By understanding these genetic predispositions, individuals can tailor their diet to optimise nutrient intake and prevent deficiencies. The report provides actionable recommendations for supplementing specific nutrients based on genetic insights, promoting overall health and well-being through targeted nutritional support.
Genes Tested for: Food Response, Caffeine, Microbiome, Vitamins, Blood Pressure, Detoxification, Metabolism, Inflammation and Circadian Rhythm.
You’ll receive a detailed analysis of your reports with Deborah a registered nutrigenomics specialist. She will carefully explain what your results mean and recommend nutrition and lifestyle interventions as well as answer any questions you may have.
NOTE: We do not provide written guidance during this analysis call, so you should prepare to make notes whilst you speak to the practitioner. You may record (on zoom with prior practitioner permission).
This session focuses solely on the results of your DNA report. Any health related matters why the test was conducted should be provided in the client onboarding form to ensure that any specific health concerns can be covered as part of the review.
