YOUR GENETICS / DNA
DICTATES YOUR IDEAL
DIET & LIFESTYLE
Genetics and DNA shares a wealth of information about the essential foods and lifestyle habits
that will serve us best.
We weren't born with a manual to help us thrive in life, and for most it's just a case of constant trail and error to work it all out. Yet since 2016, we've had access to a special DNA test that looks at genetic data and deliver that 'healthy life manual'.
The manual answers the questions "What foods work best to help me excel and maintain healthy weight, and what activities should I do for fastest strength and longevity", plus more.
The data is from your DNA sample and your genetics dictate and map it all out for us to read in a report.
No two data results are the same! And this is why tailored health plans are paramount and the way forward with medicine.
The science behind this is called Nutrigenomics and it provides exact information about the types of foods to eat and avoid for greater wellbeing and disease prevention, plus the best physical activities for optimal health, and the ideal macronutrient ratios for sustainable weight management.
The report is valid for life and can be used as constant reference as you age and experience different trials or situations in life. Share it with other health practitioners in your life also, so they can see your genetic results.
Tracie Connor is a qualified Nutrigenomix® practitioner to provide testing and professional report analysis.
Nutrigenomix® DNA Test Report
Some of the answers your report will provide when results arrive :
- Ideal amounts of Protein, Fat and Carbohydrate to consume each day for weight management and optimal health
- Confirms Food Intolerances
- Shares how well you metabolise Caffeine and Sodium
- Shares the ideal amounts of B12, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Folate, Iron, Choline, Omega 3 & 6 and Calcium you require each day for optimal health
- Shows your alcohol sensitivity levels
- Highlights your unique energy balance composition and physical activity requirements
The Process
- Your DNA is collected via a saliva sample - this can be done in the privacy of your home or with Tracie during consultation (standard consultation fees apply)
- Sample is sent to the Nutrigenomix ® laboratory to analyse your DNA
- Approximately 4 weeks later, your 50-page Nutrigenomix ® Personalised Nutrition and Fitness Report is sent to Tracie and you
- Meet with Tracie to review the results in consultation (standard consultation fees apply)

FAQ's
What is Nutrigenomics?
The study of how nutrients and genes interact, especially relating to body composition, metabolism and chronic disease risk. Nutrigenomics identifies an individualised perspective into your DNA and how nutrients (macro and micronutrients) alter certain metabolic processes, such as how genes are expressed.
How does a DNA test detect food intolerance?
A Nutrigenomix ® test uses NGx-Gluten ™, the most comprehensive genetic analytic tool for gluten intolerance, that explores 6 variations in the HLA gene and can determine your risk of gluten intolerance, for example.
How is this test different to a blood test for coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease and gluten intolerance are separate conditions. Antibodies for coeliac disease will, in most cases, show up in a blood test. However, not everyone with gluten intolerance produces identifiable antibodies in their blood and therefore a blood test will not detect it. A Nutrigenomix ® test detects gluten intolerance by analysing your DNA. The test looks at the most important genetic predictor of gluten intolerance, called the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene.

"The field of nutrigenetics is still in its early days ..evidence will continue to evolve over the next decade, though we have enough good evidence to make it useful now."
