Transform Your Health with Insights from Your DNA

Your DNA is the blueprint of your body, influencing everything from metabolism to mental well-being. Our myDNA Comprehensive Check goes beyond standard genetic testing, offering an in-depth analysis of 111 genes and 129 SNPs across key health categories:

  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Metabolic Health & Weight Management
  • Emotional & Psychological Wellbeing
  • Nutrition & Gut Health
  • Cognitive Function
  • Stability & Strength
  • Immune Health & Inflammation
  • Hormone & Reproductive health

By taking a simple cheek swab, you’ll receive a personalised genetic profile with science-backed insights into how your unique DNA affects your health, along with actionable recommendations to help you optimise your well-being. Unlike generic tests, our myDNA Comprehensive Check is conducted by an Australian NATA-accredited laboratory. Our team of molecular biologists, data scientists, and clinicians ensures your results are accurate, reliable, and tailored to your specific genetic makeup.

Understanding Your Genetic Profile

Once you receive your results from the myDNA Comprehensive Check, you will be categorised into one of three distinct genetic profiles. Each profile reflects your genetic strengths, predispositions, and potential risks, along with targeted and actionable insights into how to mitigate any negative health outcomes.

It is important to remember that genes are not your destiny. While your genetic makeup may indicate certain predispositions, lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, stress management, pre-existing conditions, and sleep quality play a crucial role in how these genes are expressed. This means that even if you have a higher genetic risk for a condition, making the right choices can significantly reduce or even eliminate that risk. You can read more about this here.

The purpose of this test is not just to inform you of potential vulnerabilities but to empower you with the knowledge to take proactive steps that support your health and well-being.

Let’s take a closer look at each profile:

Perfect Imperfections: You’re a Genetic Marvel!

This profile indicates that your genetic blueprint is largely favourable, with no high-impact mutations that increase the risk of severe health conditions such as Alzheimer’s, haemochromatosis, type 2 diabetes, or chronic kidney disease. However, you may still carry genetic variations that can influence specific aspects of your well-being, such as metabolic function, nutrient absorption, or cardiovascular health.

Individuals with this genetic profile may carry mutations that contribute to conditions such as:

  • Lactose intolerance – studies suggest that up to 65% of the world’s population experiences some form of lactose malabsorption after childhood - if you have LCT mutations, opt for lactose-free dairy products or plant-based alternatives and consider lactase enzyme supplements if consuming dairy.
  • Vitamin deficiencies (B6, B12, D) – if you have NBPF3, CBS, MTRR, MTR, or CYP2R1 mutations, support optimal levels with nutrient-dense foods (e.g., leafy greens for B6, animal-based proteins for B12, and sunlight exposure for vitamin D) or targeted supplementation if needed.
  • Elevated blood pressure – if you have ACE1, AGTR1, NOS1, or PPARGC1A mutations, maintain healthy blood pressure through a balanced diet rich in potassium and magnesium, stress management techniques, and limiting sodium intake

If you're feeling great, it's a sign that your lifestyle choices are complementing your genetic strengths. Your balanced approach to nature and nurture is helping you maintain optimal health. Staying informed about your genetics ensures that you can continue making proactive choices that support long-term well-being.
