    What is genetic testing?
    Genes are small sections of our DNA that encode instructions that determine individual characteristics like eye colour, hair colour and other physical characteristics. Genetic testing is used to screen for changes or mutations in these genes that can determine whether you might be predisposed or at an increased risk of developing certain conditions including some cancers.

    What are the roles of genes in nutrition?
    Everyone absorbs, metabolises, and transports nutrients differently based on their genetic makeup. A healthy lifestyle can influence how our genes express themselves (how they turn on and off) and these changes may reduce disease risk including obesity and Type 2 Diabetes, even if you are genetically predisposed.

    What to expect from your results?
    Your results are categorised into diet and nutrition, athletic performance, and health and wellbeing. A visual scale is included to help gauge your results from Gluten Intolerance, Fasting Response, Injury Risk, and Caffeine Metabolism to help you on your path to personalised health.
