About this test

Just as there are no two people alike, there are no two bodies alike either. We are all different in the way our bodies utilise the food we eat or the way our muscles respond to exercise. By analysing your genes, we can equip you with a set of unique guidelines that can help you on your path to optimal health and fitness. Our NEW NutriFit DNA Health Screening Test will give you an personalised guide to nutrition and exercise based on your personal genetics. It will also help you to learn how to avoid several common health problems and how your genetics can influence your physical appearance and wellness. NutriFit is perfect for those people who are about to make a lifestyle change or for those who just want to take the next step.

Our Nutrifit screening test will include everything you need to start your new journey to a healthier lifestyle based on your individual genetic make-up.

Results can be available within 8 weeks from receipt of your DNA sample at our Brisbane laboratory and will be emailed to you as soon as they are ready.

For an additional cost, you can even have your personalised Nutrigenetic guide booklet printed and sent to you my postal mail.

How does the testing work?

This test utilises Next Generation sequencing technology, coupled with the leading genetics bioinformatics software and modern scientific research. It comprises 35 different analyses and assesses over 100 genetic variations that affects personal metabolism and physical characteristics.

More about nutrition

The food we eat provides the raw materials our bodies need for development, growth and function. Micro-nutrients are comprised of vitamins and minerals, while macro-nutrients include compounds such as fats and carbohydrates. Our ability to process and utilise these nutrients provided by our diet is dependent on specific enzymes that helps us break down and transform these nutritional elements into the chemical compounds our bodies need and can use. The effectiveness of these enzymes and the capability to make use of the nutrients is determined by our genetics. By analysing certain genetic variations, we can assess your metabolic profile and provide you with a recommendation of an optimal diet, matched to your genetic make-up.

More about Exercise

Physical activity generally affects our health positively, but just as your ability to process certain foods is unique to your metabolism, certain sports or activities can be more beneficial for you than they are for others. By analysing your genes, we can recommend the types of physical activities that suit you best or what to approach with caution.

What kind of sample is needed?

All we need is a simple and painless Saliva Sample. DNA is then extracted from your sample. It is that simple!
