Personalised Nutrition, based on your genes
Are you after a health and wellness plan which is guided not by guesswork, but by your unique genetic makeup. Nutrigenomics makes that possible. I use advanced nutrigenomic testing to uncover how your genes influence the way your body responds to food, nutrients, and lifestyle choices—so you can make decisions that truly support your health.
What Is Nutrigenomics?
Nutrigenomics is the science of how nutrition interacts with your genes. It explores how genetic variations affect the way your body metabolizes nutrients, detoxifies toxins, regulates inflammation, and maintains optimal health. By understanding your genetic blueprint, we can tailor your diet, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to suit your body’s unique needs.
Why Nutrigenomic Testing Matters
Many people follow generic health advice that may work for others but not for them. Nutrigenomic testing helps explain why. It can reveal:
How efficiently your body detoxifies environmental toxins
Your natural tendency for inflammation
How well you metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and caffeine
Your ability to absorb and utilize key nutrients like B vitamins, vitamin D, and omega-3s
Predispositions to oxidative stress, hormonal imbalances, or food intolerances
Genetic factors that impact sleep, stress response, and exercise recovery
What the test covers:
I use a number of genetic test kits suited to the individuals budget and needs. These include:
These comprehensive nutrigenomic tests assess genes related to:
Detoxification pathways
Vitamin and mineral metabolism
Inflammation regulation
Methylation function (including MTHFR variants)
Blood sugar and lipid metabolism
Caffeine and alcohol sensitivity
Food intolerance predispositions
Exercise and recovery optimization
Cognitive health and mood balance
How It Works
Simple, non-invasive DNA sample collection (usually via cheek swab)
Laboratory analysis of key genetic markers related to nutrition and health
In-depth consultation where I explain your results and their implications
Personalised wellness plan that includes dietary recommendations, targeted supplements, and lifestyle adjustments based on your genetics
Is Nutrigenomic Testing Right for You?
If you’ve ever wondered why certain diets, supplements, or health programs don’t work for you — or why you feel better eating a particular way while others don’t — nutrigenomics can provide the answers. It’s particularly valuable if you:
✔️ Struggle with fatigue, brain fog, or mood swings
✔️ Have a history of nutrient deficiencies or poor detoxification
✔️ Experience chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, or gut issues
✔️ Want to optimise athletic performance and recovery
✔️ Are ready to take a proactive, personalised approach to long-term wellness
Case Study 1: Overcoming Chronic Fatigue Through Personalised Nutrition
Client: Susan, 38
Presenting Issues: Fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, and low mood
Approach:
After years of struggling with energy crashes and unrefreshing sleep despite eating a “healthy” diet, Susan wanted answers. A comprehensive nutrigenomic test was recommended alongside standard blood tests.
Findings:
MTHFR gene variant affecting methylation and B-vitamin metabolism
Poor detoxification gene variants in the GST and CYP pathways
Increased sensitivity to caffeine, contributing to sleep issues
Personalised Plan:
Adjusted her diet to include folate rich foods
Supported nutrient intake with the correct form of B vitamins
Removed caffeine and introduced calming herbal adaptogens
Supported liver detox pathways with targeted supplements and cruciferous vegetables
Results:
Within eight weeks, Susan experienced significantly improved energy, better sleep quality, and improved focus. Follow-up blood work confirmed improved nutrient status and reduced oxidative stress markers.
Case Study 2: Managing Digestive Issues Linked to Genetic Predispositions
Client: Darren, 42
Presenting Issues: Bloating, diarrhea, and sensitivity to multiple foods
Approach:
Darren had tried elimination diets and probiotics with little improvement. We recommended a nutrigenomic panel combined with comprehensive stool analysis to uncover root causes.
Findings:
Variants in genes regulating gut barrier integrity and inflammation (IL-6, TNF-alpha)
Lactose intolerance and increased sensitivity to gluten, confirmed by genetic markers
Impaired detoxification pathways
Personalised Plan:
Modified his diet to reduce inflammatory foods and remove dairy and gluten
Introduced targeted probiotics and gut-healing nutrients like L-glutamine
Supported his detox pathways with phase 2 liver support supplements
Implemented stress management techniques tailored to his genetic stress response profile
Results:
Within six weeks, Darren experienced a significant reduction in digestive symptoms, less food sensitivity, and improved overall wellbeing.
Case Study 3: Optimising Athletic Performance with DNA-Based Nutrition
Client: Emma, 29
Presenting Issues: Slow post-workout recovery, frequent muscle soreness, poor sleep, and inconsistent energy
Approach:
Emma was a competitive runner eager to optimise her performance. Nutrigenomic testing focused on exercise, recovery, and nutrient metabolism genes.
Findings:
Slow recovery gene variants (ACTN3, COL5A1)
Higher requirements for omega-3s and magnesium
Caffeine sensitivity impacting sleep and recovery
Predisposition to low vitamin D absorption
Personalised Plan:
Adjusted supplement routine to include higher-dose omega-3s and magnesium glycinate
Removed pre-workout caffeine and shifted training times
Increased dietary vitamin D sources and added sublingual supplementation
Developed a personalised post-exercise recovery protocol
Results:
After four months, Emma reported faster recovery, less muscle soreness, deeper sleep, and improved race times. Nutrient retesting showed optimal vitamin D and omega-3 levels.
Case Study 4: Optimising Vegan Nutrition with Nutrigenomics
Client: Alexis, 31
Presenting Issues: Persistent fatigue, low iron and B12 levels, brain fog, poor exercise recovery, and mood swings while following a strict vegan diet for four years
Approach:
Alexis was committed to a plant-based lifestyle but struggled with low energy and nutrient deficiencies, despite supplementing with standard vegan multivitamins. Nutrigenomic testing was conducted to better understand how her body processed key nutrients and where her personalised needs lay.
Findings:
MTHFR C677T heterozygous variant, reducing folate methylation efficiency
FUT2 gene mutation, limiting natural B12 absorption in the gut
Poor omega-3 conversion capacity (FADS1 and FADS2 variants), meaning plant-based ALA wasn’t converting efficiently to EPA/DHA
Higher requirements for iron and zinc due to genetic factors affecting absorption and utilisation
Predisposition to higher homocysteine levels, increasing cardiovascular risk without adequate methylation support
Personalised Plan:
Changed B vitamin supplementation supplementation
Increased dietary intake of plant-based iron and zinc sources, paired with vitamin C to boost absorption
Added an algae-based DHA/EPA supplement to compensate for poor omega-3 conversion
Focused on homocysteine-lowering nutrients: methylated B6, B12, and folate
Adjusted macronutrient ratios to support energy, mood, and exercise recovery based on genetic metabolic tendencies
Results:
Within 12 weeks, Alexis experienced improved energy, clearer focus, and better mood stability. Blood tests showed increased B12 and ferritin levels, improved omega-3 index, and reduced homocysteine. Exercise recovery time also shortened significantly.
