You take a sample of your DNA for sequencing and analysis through a simple mouth swab using the kit provided. These are posted back to the lab and we can choose what they analyse. Perhaps you are most interested in your health and nutrition, or maybe you want to understand how your skin reacts under stress?

The labs sequence a large section of your DNA as the starting point, rather than smaller cuts or ‘snips’ that some other companies use. This means that they are able to pinpoint exactly where the required gene is with 99.97% accuracy observed. This is also why it’s so important to always check the testing method adopted by the company you are considering before you proceed with genetic analysis.

Your organs are made up of tissues which are made up cells, and these cells are made from proteins. Your body is constantly repairing and replacing these cells. How does your body know to build the right type of protein to build the cells? It’s all from the DNA code within your genes.

Your body reads the exact sequence of DNA code in the exact gene to determine the exact size and shape of the protein required for the function in your body it is building. It’s amazing what our bodies are doing – all whilst we are completely unaware!

Understanding better how your body works helps you to make better informed lifestyle and health choices.

You will be provided with a testing kit and a clear set of instructions to swab inside your mouth. We will also be asked to complete your consent form and answer a few simple questions critical to the specific tests you’ve purchased. You’ll then be kept up to date on the process through your own secure online information portal. 

Dr Mayoni or one of her team will then consult with you once you get your tests back. It’s important that your results are explained to you correctly, and we will fully support you through the process. You will also receive your own personalised report to refer to. You will be able to discuss your lifestyle choices in light of the test results and clarify any questions on the next steps available such as oral supplements, food and exercise choices – all personalised to your genetic test results.
