Nutrient Core £399
Whilst we can look into a number of areas, clients often start with the Nutrient Core.
It covers genes involved in: food tolerance (and intolerance), appetite, blood sugar, vitamin and mineral needs, detoxification, microbiome diversity, sleep, susceptibility to inflammation and infection and can give insight into dopamine and serotonin pathways influencing mood.

Nutrient Core Report will help you understand the fundamental genetic interactions with diet and lifestyle and indicate whether specific functions require further genetic testing. It includes genes that have been shown to affect:
food response - gluten (coeliac) and lactose intolerance
caffeine - sensitivity and metabolism
microbiome - diversity
vitamin need - vitamins A, B9 (folate), B12 (cobalamin), C, D and K
blood pressure - sodium-potassium balance & salt sensitive hypertension
detoxification - glutathione
metabolism - blood sugar control (insulin), appetite (leptin)
inflammation - specific (infection response) and systemic
circadian rhythm - early bird or night owl predisposition
Genes Included:
Food Response: HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1 and LCT
Caffeine: CYP1A2 and ADORA2A
Microbiome: FUT2
Vitamins: BCO1, MTHFR, FUT2, TCN2, SLC23A1, COL1A1, GC, VDR and VKORC1
Blood Pressure: ACE and AGT
Detoxification: GSTM1
Metabolism: FADS1/2, FTO, TCF7L2, PGC1A and LEPR
Inflammation: TNF and IFNG
Circadian Rhythm: CLOCK and PER1
