What if you had an instruction manual for your body? One test, done once in your lifetime, that reveals how your genes influence your health, metabolism, performance, and recovery.

That’s exactly what SmartDNA offers - a powerful, science-backed tool that helps you understand your unique genetic profile so you can take control of your health.

When it comes to health, one size does not fit all. Two people can eat the same diet, exercise in the same way, or take the same supplement, yet experience completely different results. Why? Because your body’s blueprint is written in your DNA.

SmartDNA testing allows us to take a deep dive into how your genes influence your metabolism, detoxification, hormone balance, inflammation, gut health, and even your response to nutrients. When combined with blood results and lifestyle history, it provides a clear roadmap for more personalised care.

Why Genetic Insights Matter

Your genes don’t determine your destiny, but they do influence how your body responds to its environment.

For example:

• Some people naturally process caffeine quickly, while others feel anxious and wired.

• Certain gene variations make it harder to clear toxins, meaning antioxidants and glutathione support are more important.

• Others may struggle with folate or B12 metabolism, affecting energy, mood, and cardiovascular health.

  
  

By identifying these variations, we can match your nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to your unique biology.

What SmartDNA Reports Cover

A SmartDNA report highlights how your genes affect:

• Methylation & Homocysteine – linked to energy, mood, and heart health.

• Antioxidant Defense – how well your body protects itself from oxidative stress and toxins.

• Detoxification – your ability to clear heavy metals, alcohol, and environmental chemicals.

• Inflammation – genetic tendencies that raise or lower your inflammatory response.

• Hormones – including estrogen, testosterone, and stress hormones.

• Gut Health – how genes influence digestion, microbiome balance, and food sensitivities.

• Weight & Metabolism – personalised insights into fat, carbohydrate, and sugar processing.

• Exercise Response – whether you are more suited to endurance, power, or mixed training.

  
  

This isn’t about labelling you as “good” or “bad.” It’s about giving you the tools to work with your genes rather than against them.

How It Works in Practice

1. DNA Sample: A simple cheek swab (no blood draw required).

2. Analysis: Your sample is sent to the SmartDNA lab for analysis.

3. Report: A detailed report (50+ pages) outlining your genetic variations and what they mean.

4. 90 minute Consultation: Together, we review your DNA results alongside your blood work and health history.

5. Plan: You receive a tailored plan with nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations specific to you.

   
   

Why I Recommend SmartDNA

In my practice, I have seen how SmartDNA transforms understanding. Instead of guessing which diet or supplement might work, we can see your genetic strengths and vulnerabilities.

For example:

• If your glutathione pathway is weak, supporting detoxification becomes a priority.

• If your lipid genes show poor cholesterol handling, dietary fat intake can be adjusted.

• If your methylation genes show inefficiency, B vitamins become essential.

  
  

This takes the overwhelm out of health - replacing trial-and-error with clear direction.

A Personalised Path to Better Health

SmartDNA doesn’t replace blood tests, lifestyle factors, or listening to your body. Instead, it adds another powerful layer of insight. When combined, these tools help us:

• Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

• Support energy, mood, and cognitive performance.

• Optimise digestion and gut health.

• Protect long-term heart, liver, and metabolic health.

For Gym-Goers & Athletes

If you’re serious about training, recovery, and performance, SmartDNA is a game changer.

• Strength vs Endurance: Discover whether you’re genetically built for powerlifting, sprinting, or long-distance endurance, or a mix.

• Recovery Speed: Some genes clear lactic acid faster, others make recovery slower. Knowing your profile helps you train smarter.

• Injury Risk: SNPs related to collagen production or inflammation can highlight whether you’re more prone to tendon or ligament issues.

• Testosterone & Hormones: If you’re supplementing or pushing hard in the gym, SmartDNA shows how your body handles testosterone, estrogen, and detox.

This test becomes your personal trainer in your pocket - guiding not just what you do in the gym, but how you fuel and recover outside of it.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated that “healthy” choices don’t work the same for you as for others, SmartDNA can provide the missing link.
