Nutrigenomic Wellness DNA Testing

Nutrigenomic Wellness DNA Testing

Address current concerns but also supports the prevention of chronic disease by identifying your unique risk factors early.

The best part is you only need to do this test once. Your genetic blueprint doesn’t change, which means the results can continue to guide your health decisions for years to come. It’s a valuable long-term tool that you and your practitioner can keep referring back to as your health evolves.

Methylation is a vital biochemical process that affects gene expression, cellular repair, mood regulation, and more. Testing helps identify where this process may be under- or over-functioning due to inherited genetic traits.

What Does It Test For?

The test assesses key genetic variations that are involved with:

• Detoxification capacity (e.g. MTHFR, GST, COMT)
• Methylation pathways (e.g. MTHFR, MTRR, BHMT)
• Folate, B12, and choline metabolism
• Cardiovascular markers (e.g. homocysteine regulation)
• Mood and cognitive function (e.g. serotonin, dopamine pathways)
• Inflammatory responses
• Hormone clearance
• Nutrient utilisation and absorptionAt Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic, we use Nutrigenomic Wellness DNA testing to explore how your unique DNA may be influencing your health, wellbeing, and susceptibility to certain conditions. These tests help uncover how your body processes nutrients, responds to stress, detoxifies hormones, and more, providing insight into your biochemical individuality and how to best support it.
• Understanding your genetic blueprint allows us to move beyond symptom management and build a truly personalised approach to your health. This not only helps 

Who Is This Test For?

This test may be recommended for individuals experiencing:

• Fatigue or burnout
• Mood disorders such as anxiety, depression or brain fog
• Hormonal imbalances
• Infertility or recurrent miscarriage
• Histamine intolerance or chemical sensitivities
• Poor stress resilience
• Poor detoxification or reactions to certain supplements
• Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions

It’s also helpful for those seeking proactive, preventative care to optimise long-term health. In truth, this test is beneficial for everyone. Understanding your genetic makeup offers valuable insight that can help guide personalised decisions and support the prevention of illness across all stages of life.

What Can It Help Identify?

This testing helps reveal:

• Impaired methylation activity (which can affect everything from energy to mental health)
• Genetic predispositions that influence nutrient needs
• Detoxification or liver clearance issues
• Neurotransmitter imbalances
• Factors contributing to inflammation or oxidative stress
• Why certain supplements or medications may not work for you

What Is the Testing Process?

We use a simple non-invasive sampling method where a cheek swab is taken from the inside of each cheek first thing in the morning.

How Are Results Used?

Results are provided in a clear, practitioner-guided report that explains how your genes may influence key areas of health. These insights allow us to build a plan that may include specific nutrients, dietary strategies, lifestyle changes, and supplementation to support optimal gene expression and overall wellbeing.

Rather than focusing on genetic “flaws,” our goal is to use this information to empower you with knowledge about how your body functions best.

All genetic results are kept strictly confidential. Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic does not store any raw DNA or genetic data, ensuring your information remains secure and is used only for your personalised care.

Do I Need a Follow-Up Appointment?

Yes. Your results are only meaningful when interpreted in the context of your symptoms, history, and lifestyle. Your practitioner will use the report to guide a personalised plan that’s realistic, practical, and aligned with your goals.
