DNA Health® is a genetic test that evaluates variation in genes involved in metabolic processes such as lipid handling, methylation activity, inflammatory signalling and detoxification pathways. These areas influence how individuals process nutrients and respond to physiological stressors. This test can be used as the basis for your genetic testing recommendation with additional specific testing added on (e.g. DNA Gut, DNA Hormone etc.) to personalise your investigations for your patient.
Individual genetic variability may help provide clinical context in individuals with metabolic challenges, unexpected response to dietary intervention or a strong family history of chronic disease. Assessment of nutrient metabolism and regulatory pathways can support understanding of variability seen in lipid markers, glucose regulation or inflammatory tendencies. Pair this test with a functional test like the Metabolimix to assess real time impacts of gene variances on health.
Results are interpreted alongside clinical findings, lifestyle factors and biochemical testing where appropriate. The test may be useful for refining nutrition strategy, risk assessment or longer-term monitoring in selected individuals.
