Eat For Your Genes Program using Nutrigenomics


DNA testing will give you access to the latest research, which can be used to inform personalised nutrition and lifestyle recommendations ensuring maximal results.

What is nutrigenomics

The term nutrigenomics refers to both the study of how the food, beverages and supplements we consume affect our genes and how our genes can influence our body’s response to what we eat.

Over the past decade, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of how genes influence our nutritional status. This directly impacts our health making general recommendations a thing of the past.

Nutrigenomics basically  shows how specific genes change in response to different dietary components, enabling us to use personalised nutrition to prevent, manage or improve various health issues.

Did you know your DNA can hold the secrets to what foods to eat, what exercise suits you best and your risk for mental health problems?


Benefits of nutrigenomics

Eating and living in harmony with your body is key for optimal health. Nutrigenomic DNA testing allows for the precise nutrition and lifestyle personalisation to ensure that what ever you do you get the most out of yourself. It helps keep you at your peak and takes the confusion out of what to eat, what supplements to take, how to exercise and sleep and how to detoxify. It helps optimise your nutritional status, physical and cognitive performance and prevent diet related conditions.

What you should know about Nutrigenomics

 Nutrigenomics is a complex area where genetic information must be interpreted in the context of you presenting symptoms, health or disease status, medical history, family history, bloods and much more. Unfortunately these are not considerations that a direct to consumer testing company can make, which can risk your health. Working with a practitioner who can use and interpret genetic information in the context of your health and biochemistry is necessary. This will help you have a correct understanding of your health and that the right strategy is implemented.


How the Eat For Your Genes Program works


You get 3 private health rebatable consultations + DNA test

1 Initial assessment

Your first appointment seeks to identify what and how lifestyle factors are impacting your health. We need to know the root cause of your problems to create personalised nutrition and lifestyle solutions that get you lasting results. Following this you will be asked to organise blood tests with you GP and will be sent your DNA test kit. DNA results can take up to 4 weeks to come back.

2 Discuss DNA results

Once results are in, we need to discuss both blood and DNA results to ensure you understand implications for your health. We will also discuss appropriate lifestyle recommendations.

3 Meal plan & strategy

During your third appointment we will create a personalised meal plan and lifestyle program using DNA data, bloods and previous collected information.

What happens after my 3 consultations?


You can continue with your consultations if you chose to do so and if advisable. I will confirm what is required during your initial assessment.

Vegan or Vegetarian

Done right based on your DNA



A vegan or vegetarian lifestyle is fraught with problems. You must battle misinformation as well as information overload. This can negatively influence your decision making leaving you at risk of poor health for the long term.

To that we say STOP. Using nutrigenomic testing we can delve deep into your unique genetic code and find out what specific nutrients, supplements, foods and exercise strategies you need to maintain good health while still following a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. This way you can ensure you have a healthy sustainable lifestyle.
