Lifecode Gx is the laboratory that I use as it offers a range of specialist nutrigenomics DNA test panels which inform how inherited health risks can be mitigated through personalised nutrition and lifestyle change. I often suggest clients start with the Nutrient Core test which examines key genes and variants involved in 15 aspects of health including food response - coeliac disease, lactose intolerance, caffeine response and microbiome diversity; vitamin absorption, conversion and activation; and metabolism - appetite, sugar & fat response, blood pressure, circadian rhythm and inflammation. If it comes to light that further DNA tests may be beneficial then we can simply add on.

This price includes the initial 1-hr nutrition consultation, x1 DNA test kit and Nutrient Core Report. Please note, any further reports such as Oestrogen Balance and Mental Health cost an additional £150 per report, if ordered within a 3-month window from ordering the Nutrient Core.

Once you purchase the test you will be sent the DNA test kit in the post. When you receive the test, you will need to take your sample and send back to the laboratory in a prepaid envelope. Results generally take 4-5 weeks from receipt of test. You will then simply need to book and pay for your Follow Up consultation to go through your results in detail.
