• Indepth metabolic contexts: Assessment of genetic variation influencing lipid metabolism, detoxification, methylation, glucose regulation or inflammatory tendency alongside potential nutrient need or intolerances.
• Lifestyle interventions: Focussing on macronutrient distribution, exercise programming, circadian-aligned eating to support energy homeostasis, and nutrient-dense foods to optimise core biochemical pathways.
• Family history of chronic disease: Cardiometabolic or inflammatory conditions where inherited factors may influence investigation and intervention outcomes.
• Nutrient metabolism considerations: Further assessment where variation in vitamin or antioxidant handling may be clinically relevant, alongside gluten and lactose intolerance susceptibility.
• Exercise recovery or adaptation optimisation: Evaluation into exercise responses to enhance health and movement outcomes.
• Preventive and/or health optimisation assessment: Individuals seeking additional genetic context alongside biochemical testing to optimise health and enhance longevity.

DNA Core® is our flagship genetic test. It combines DNA health, DNA diet and DNA sport into one comprehensive easy to interpret report and forms the basis of any genetic investigations where you can add on panels specific for the patients needs (e.g. DNA gut or DNA Hormone etc.). This test evaluates variations in genes involved in, but not limited to; metabolic regulation, inflammatory signalling, detoxification processes and nutrient metabolism alongside exercise performance and potential and weight management. These pathways give insights into potential genetic influence to how individuals process nutrients, regulate energy balance, respond to physiological stress and many more.

Individual genetic variability may help provide clinical context in individuals with metabolic challenges, unexpected response to dietary or exercise interventions, a family history of lifestyle-related disease or someone looking to optimise and improve health and longevity. Assessment of regulatory pathways can support understanding of variability seen in lipid markers, glucose handling or recovery patterns.

Results are interpreted alongside clinical findings, lifestyle factors and laboratory markers where appropriate. The test may be useful for refining risk assessment, guiding further investigation or supporting personalised nutrition strategies. To optimise interventions, these DNA tests can be paried with functional testing to understand root cause and real time impacts.

The DNA and the original sample material are destroyed after 3 months, so that there are no names or other identifiers on the samples. The samples are analysed only for the SNPs that are included in the tests at DNALife, and no other research or analyses are performed without a separate permission from the patient.
