Discover your unique genetic blueprint and optimise your health and performance
Ready to reveal your genetic potential?
Unravel the health secrets encoded in your DNA, gain unparalleled insight into how your body processes nutrients and receive tailor-made solutions uniquely crafted for you.
Nutrigenomics is all about supporting your body’s unique biology and transforming your health from the inside out.
Tired of feeling like you're playing by the rules, but not getting results or feeling your best?
You’re a regular at the gym, you watch what you eat, yet that stubborn weight clings on like it's got a personal vendetta against you.
What about those horrendous hangovers after just one drink?
Feel like a nervous wreck after a simple cup of coffee, while it seems your colleagues are downing it like water?
Sometimes it feels as if your body's speaking a different language…
Well, guess what?
It is. It’s your genes doing the talking.
But don’t worry. Your genetic code isn't a life sentence, it's more like a roadmap. Yes, it might show some variations or predispositions, but it doesn't control the whole picture… welcome to the wonderful world of EPIGENETICS! That's where nutrigenomics comes into play…
How can nutrigenomics help?
We all know our genes define our uniqueness, influencing everything from eye colour to disease predisposition. But while our genetic code remains fixed, our diet and lifestyle choices can influence how our genes behave.
With nutrigenomics, a simple cheek swab will reveal your DNA blueprint, highlighting how well your current diet and lifestyle aligns with your gene function (are you an ‘early bird’ or a ‘night owl’, sensitive to caffeine or alcohol, struggle with detox, prone to anxiety, need more vitamin C or D). As a certified nutrigenomics practitioner, I work with you to interpret your DNA and provide you with the tools to fine-tune your diet and habits, correcting for any deficiencies and proactively shaping your health and wellness journey for life.
Yes – this is a once-only test, your DNA does not change, so this information can empower you for life!
Think of it this way: your genes load the gun, but it's your lifestyle choices that pull the trigger, determining your health trajectory. This is your chance to take control, shore up any ‘variations’ (referred to in genetics speak at ‘SNPs’ and we all have thousands) or deficiencies and put your body into its optimum state to stop that trigger being pulled.
With a simple DNA test, you can uncover how your body responds to different nutrients, helping you tailor your diet and lifestyle to suit your unique genetic makeup. It's not about changing who you are, but rather understanding how to support the best version of yourself.

My recommendation for everyone! Methylation is a vital process occurring millions of times a day. Imbalances can lead to a host of health issues, from heart disease to mood disorders and even cancer. We examine key genes like MTHFR, COMT, and PEMT (made famous by Gary Breka, but we include many more!), along with their precursors. Wondering why you're battling low energy or struggling to conceive? Curious about the root cause of your mood swings or addictive behaviours? Seeking answers to your weight loss struggles or brain fog?
Understand who you truly are. Neurotransmitters govern communication throughout mind & body. Imbalances can manifest as anxiety, depression, migraines, ADHD and more. Uncover the root causes of imbalances: delve into key genes affecting serotonin (contentment), melatonin (sleep), dopamine (motivation), noradrenaline and adrenaline (fight or flight), glutamate and GABA (calm and relaxation). Ideal for anyone experiencing mood imbalances, sleep disturbances, chronic stress or addictive behaviours.
Optimise your body's energy regulation, longevity and chronic disease prevention. Metabolism isn't just about weight loss, it's the foundation of life, governing everything from appetite regulation to cardiovascular health. This extensive report provides insights into appetite regulation, nutrient sensing, sugar and fat metabolism, cholesterol, mitochondria and inflammation. Ideal for individuals seeking answers to weight management struggles, blood sugar imbalances, digestive issues, cardiovascular concerns or chronic fatigue.
Ideal for women in peri/menopause and anyone experiencing hormonal issues. Gain valuable insights into potential impacts of treatment options like HRT and whether this is the best option for you. Hormone imbalances affect both men and women, ranging from: infertility, low libido and sex drive, low sperm count, acne, excess facial hair in women, PCOS, blood clots, mood swings, depression, poor memory, weight gain, breast appearances in men and hormone sensitive cancers, such as breast or prostate cancer.
Optimise your training, performance and recovery. This report helps you tailor your approach to health and fitness like never before, eat smarter and perform better. Divided into three essential topics – TRAIN, RECOVER and PERFORM – you’ll get insights into genetic factors influencing cardiovascular adaptation, strategic fuelling, structural strength, muscle type, resilience, injury prevention, inflammation control, oxidative stress reduction and sleep optimisation.

I'm Tina,
I’VE TRANSFORMED MY HEALTH AND WELLBEING AND I’M HERE TO HELP YOU DO THE SAME.
I’m passionate about the power of nutrition and real food to support optimal health. I’ll help break down the complex science, simplify the “noise” of the wellness world, and give you tailored guidance that works specifically for your unique genetic blueprint, while bidding farewell to rigid diets and food-related anxieties. Let's rediscover the joy of nourishing meals that fuel your body, mind and genes!
My own personal experience with nutrigenomics has been a revelation. From understanding why my eyesight was starting to fail with a particular way of eating, why I struggle with ketogenic diets and shining a light on my predispositions to inflammation (crucial to keep at bay when living with autoimmunity).
I’m a qualified nutrigenomics practitioner having undertaken extensive training in this area and I use this alongside my nutrition expertise and precision health coaching to support, guide, educate, keep you accountable and empower you towards achieving the health goals you want in the shortest time possible.
Have you got some questions?
-
Nutrigenomics is a new scientific discipline that uses modern genomics technology to study the relationship between genes, nutrition and health.
It has long been apparent that some people respond differently from others to certain foods. For example, individuals with lactose intolerance experience gastrointestinal discomfort after consuming certain dairy products, while other individuals can consume dairy with no problems.
Nutrigenomics allows us to understand how our genes affect the way we respond to the foods, beverages and supplements we consume and how we can best support any variants that we have via diet and lifestyle factors.
-
Nutrigenomics enables a preventative, personalised, and proactive approach to health. The test results can inform everyday decisions such as eliminating some foods or adding others - instead of a ‘one-size-fits all’ approach.
Learn more about how to best support yourself: are you an ‘early bird’ or a ‘night owl’, sensitive to caffeine or alcohol, likely struggle with detox or ketogenic diets, prone to anxiety, need more vitamin C or D, have difficulty regulating blood sugar… the list goes on.
Knowledge (and knowing how to adjust for it) is power!
-
It takes just 1 minute to collect the sample and this can be done from the comfort of home. You will receive a test kit in the post.
You need to stop eating or drinking for at least 1 hour before you do the test. You will need to collect a sample of cheeks cells (from which DNA is extracted and analysed), by rubbing the swab firmly against the inside of your cheek for about 1 min.
Simply place the swab in the test tube provided with the stabilising tablet, complete and sign the consent form and place everything in the return packaging provided.
The test is not impacted by HRT, contraceptives, pregnancy, nutritional supplements, exercise or any other environmental factors.
Super easy!
