Choose 6 DNA Tests

When you order a DNA test or combination of tests, this order will include an initial consultation with Carly (Registered Dietitian) to better get to know you and your needs, as well as 1, 2 or 3 feedback sessions (depending on the number of tests done) to adequately interpret and practically translate your genetic results into actionable interventions. Once you have sent in your blood spot DNA collection or cheek cell swab and had your initial consultation, you can expect to be contacted for feedback of your results within 4 weeks. 

DNA Health:
An extremely comprehensive genetic test focused on preventative health care. We recommend always doing DNA Health with any combination of genetic tests when choosing to understand your unique genetics. The test identifies the genetic variations associated with chronic diseases of the lifestyle and looks at pathways including lipid metabolism, methylation, detoxification, inflammation, insulin resistance and bone health. The test also looks at areas of food responsiveness and vitamin requirements including caffeine sensitivity, iron overload, lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, salt sensitivity, omega 3 requirements as well as vitamin A, D, B12 and C requirements. From the DNA Health report, Carly can prescribe individualised supplementation protocols, dietary and lifestyle interventions to better manage your overall holistic health as well as help to manage and prevent the onset of disease.

DNA Diet:
This genetic test looks at the genes involved in weight management, weight loss resistance, carbohydrate and fat sensitivities, exercise responsiveness, circadian rhythms and weight loss, eating behaviour and appetite. From this test we can determine which type of eating plan will be best suited to your individual genotype for optimal weight loss outcomes (low carb, low fat or Mediterranean), what type and how much exercise is needed for weight loss as well as interventions to better manage eating behaviour and sleep. We recommend doing DNA Health alongside DNA Diet in order to get the best results.  

DNA Mind:
This genetic test focusses on 3 major areas of mental health. Firstly, neurodegenerative diseases including mild cognitive impairment, dementia and late onset Alzheimer's disease. Secondly, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. And finally, addiction, not only to substances such as alcohol or nicotine, but at addictive behaviours such as adrenaline seeking behaviours or compulsive behaviours. From this test we can determine genetic predispositions to the above conditions, and relevant nutritional, supplemental and lifestyle management strategies to improve your overall environment and thus assist with management or prevention of the above-mentioned mental health conditions.

DNA Sport:
This genetic test focusses on optimizing athletic performance through nutrition, supplement and lifestyle interventions. We analyze genes involved in injury risk, recovery rate, power vs endurance potential, salt and caffeine sensitivity as well as optimal time of day to train.

DNA Oestrogen:
This genetic test takes an in depth look at the biological pathways; methylation, detoxification and oxidative stress which all are all deeply involved in metabolism and excretion of harmful oestrogen metabolites, quinones and free radicals, which if accumulated in the body increase the risk of certain cancers such as breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. From this test Carly can prescribe personalised supplement, nutrition and lifestyle advice to manage your risks and predispositions related to the above conditions. 

DNA Skin:
This genetic test focusses on 18 different genes involved in skin aging. We look at genetic biological pathways such as firmness and elasticity, oxidative stress, skin sensitivity and detoxification, sun damage protection and repair, skin pigmentation as well as inflammation. The report assists with choosing the correct skin care ingredients and products to prevent accelerated skin ageing as well as nutritional interventions to support your skin from the inside out. 

DNA Belly:
This exclusive LR genetic test focuses on important sections of DNA health, diet and sport and is aimed at assisting with optimizing training and exercise routines, improving health and vitality as well as weight management and in particular providing nutritional, exercise and lifestyle interventions that are aimed at losing stubborn abdominal fat.  

DNA Resilience:
This genetic test is an exciting new launch from DNAlysis and it looks at the genes involved in adaptability and coping under high pressure and stressful conditions. Certain genetic neurochemical pathways that all impact how resilient one is predisposed to be are analyzed. These pathways include the stress axis, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, brain derived neurotrophic factor and more. The test is extremely insightful, especially given the ever-changing world we are all exposed to, and provides detailed lifestyle, supplement and dietary guidance on how to enhance any genetic advantages you may carry related to resilience as well as how to assist genetic weaknesses and thus make you more resilient and adaptable to change and stress in work, sport and life.

DNA Smile:
Did you know that your oral health is one of the best indicators of your systemic health? DNA Smile can give you insights into the state of your oral health and can help you mitigate risks and improve your health using gene-based, personalized, diet, nutraceutical, lifestyle, and oral health interventions.

Grow Baby:
Another new and extremely exciting test. Grow Baby is specifically designed for women trying to conceive and those already pregnant. This genetic test really individualizes dietary, lifestyle and supplemental recommendations to help to optimize health outcomes for mom and baby, not just during pregnancy and birth but for the long term. Outcomes analysed in Grow Baby include genetic risks of preterm birth, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, miscarriage, small for gestational age, large for gestational age, post-natal depression and most importantly, the report provides gene-based interventions to lessen or mitigate these genetic risks and predispositions. 

DNA Pain:
DNA Pain is a genetic test designed to enhance the successful and sustained management of chronic pain. By analysing the genes involved in biological pathways known to affect the risk of chronic pain; the report will identify the key areas that are contributing to chronic pain, and more importantly, how to alleviate these symptoms through personalised diet, supplement, exercise, and lifestyle interventions. DNA Pain will benefit individuals suffering from a chronic pain condition, including fibromyalgia or musculoskeletal pain, who would like to take a personalised and holistic approach to pain management. Individuals suffering from comorbid conditions associated with chronic pain, such as anxiety or depression, will also benefit from the personalised recommendations in this test.

DNA Risk:
Discover your risk for Autoimmune disorders with this genetic test. The comprehensive DNA Risk HLA-Related Autoimmunity (HLA test) looks at gene variants related to common autoimmune diseases and provides healthcare practitioners “diagnostic insight” for patients already suffering from an autoimmune disorder, or who are identified as at risk due to a family history of disease and exposure to environmental risk factors. The DNA Risk HLA-Related Autoimmunity test is suitable for individuals suffering from an autoimmune disorder, or where an autoimmune disorder is suspected. Individuals identified as being at risk due to a family history of disease and/or exposure to environmental risk factors should also consider this test.
