for you, we are happy to have a quick chat with you.
Why?
Because we are not an international marketing site just on-selling lab tests. We want to know it is the right spend of your money too.

What Makes Us Unique
Is the option of a post test consultation. While this report is user friendly, it is still over 100 pages of information.
The real gold is in the experienced interpretation of the SNP's found. Some SNP's have more weight than others, and groups of SNP's can come together to significantly compound issues. This is especially true of Methylation. Our experience of going through these profiles with clients, is that they do not fully understand their methylation needs from the report only. It takes an understanding of the weight of each SNP and their combinations to fully assess the cycle and relevant needs.
This is a one hour consultation that can be purchased as an optional addition to the test.

Methylation SNP's
Methylation is a biochemical pathway that largely relies on folate and the B Vitamins. Methylation can be divided into two vital processes.
The first is the transfer of methyl groups (CH3) onto our DNA.
The second is biochemical methylation that affects all of our functioning (think hormones, neurotransmitters and detoxification).
Balanced methylation is essential for optimal heath and is influenced by nutrient intake and inherited genetic variations (SNP's).
While our genetics cannot be changed, how they are expressed can be altered. This is the point of genetic testing. To know our weaknesses and be able to modify them with diet, lifestyle and the appropriate supplementation if necessary.

DNA MethylationThe methyl groups that are transferred to our DNA protect our DNA integrity and ensure healthy cell function and replication. It does this because the methyl groups are used to tightly pack away our DNA that is not required for that particular cell. As an example, a skin cell does not need to be able to access our entire DNA. It only needs the coding that is relevant for a skin cell. Just as a nerve cell only needs the information relevant to a nerve cell. Without adequate methyl groups to pack away our DNA we start to run into major issues relating to gene expression, cell function, cell replication and DNA damage. This is huge and largely going on unnoticed. The important message in this is that if we know we have issues in this pathway, we can do something about it. The right diet, supplements and lifestyle all have a major impact on methylation. So once we know exactly where the problems are within the methylation cycle, we can specifically intervene to ensure healthy methylation. More good news is that this is a dynamic process and it appears we can make rapid changes fairly quickly. |
