How DNA Testing Can Help Us to Learn About Our Body

At our clinic, we offer DNA testing to identify your genetic patterns and provide scientifically-backed dietary recommendations tailored to your genes.

Genes play a significant role in shaping who we are and influencing various aspects of our lives. Through the analysis of specific gene pairs, our DNA test can determine the most suitable diet for your genotype. If you’ve tried generic diets in the past without success, it’s likely because they weren’t personalized according to your DNA. The test described here is the most accurate and comprehensive DNA test in the UK. 

In our clinic, our trained London dietitians/nutritionists analyze your genetic test results to create a customized meal plan based on your genetic profile. No more guesswork when it comes to macronutrient composition! Your dietitian will know precisely whether your metabolism favors a low-carb, low-fat, or balanced diet. This strategy not only helps with weight loss but also improves overall health and helps prevent modern diseases. With the DNA test, you can also gain insights into your carbohydrate sensitivity and predisposition to celiac disease. This information reveals how efficiently your cells metabolize carbs for energy. Additionally, the test can determine if you have a genetic predisposition to lactose intolerance if you experience digestive issues with dairy products. Another valuable aspect is discovering your vitamin profile and genetic propensity for lower levels. This information enables your dietitian to provide targeted supplementation if necessary, addressing any genetic tendencies towards deficiencies.

Exercise is a crucial component of a healthy lifestyle and achieving your desired physique. Some people go to the gym and don’t see the desired results because they’re not exercising in the right way. There are two primary exercise categories: endurance and power. Our DNA test not only recommends the ideal exercise category for you but also indicates the percentage of each you should incorporate into your routine. This personalized guidance allows you to optimize your time at the gym and reach your goals more efficiently. For sports enthusiasts, our DNA test delves into sports physiology, providing insights into variables such as VO2 max (maximum oxygen consumption), which measures the maximum volume of oxygen your body uses to convert food energy into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of cells. The test also offers information on recovery speed and injury risk, providing athletes with valuable details to enhance performance and compete under optimal conditions.

How it works: A simple saliva swab (no blood or other fluids required).

Turnaround time: Approximately 10-15 days to receive your comprehensive report.

At our clinic in London, we believe in leveraging the power of genetics to unlock personalized nutrition and exercise plans that maximize your potential for a healthier lifestyle.
