Genetic Wellness Testing

Personalised genetic health profiling that analyses DNA variants linked to cardiovascular risk, metabolic function, micronutrient metabolism, and inflammation — interpreted by the clinic's practitioners with actionable, personalised wellness recommendations.

The Integrative Medical Centre's genetic wellness testing service provides a clinically interpreted view of how your DNA influences your health risks and nutritional needs. Rather than delivering a raw data file of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, the clinic's practitioners contextualise genetic findings within your current blood biomarkers, lifestyle, and symptom picture to produce a practical, personalised health plan. The genetic panels offered focus on actionable wellness genomics: cardiovascular predispositions (variants affecting lipid metabolism, thrombosis risk, and hypertension susceptibility), metabolic health (insulin sensitivity, weight regulation, and glucose metabolism gene variants), detoxification pathways (CYP450 enzyme polymorphisms, Phase II detox capacity), methylation and folate metabolism (MTHFR and related variants that affect B vitamin utilisation and homocysteine), and micronutrient metabolism (vitamin D receptor, vitamin B12 transport, iron absorption, and omega-3 utilisation genes). Nutrigenomic applications are a key focus: knowing which variants a patient carries allows the clinic to personalise dietary recommendations and supplement protocols with precision that one-size-fits-all guidelines cannot achieve. For example, a patient with impaired MTHFR function benefits from methylated B vitamins rather than standard folic acid; a patient with low vitamin D receptor sensitivity requires higher supplemental doses to achieve adequate serum levels. Testing is conducted via a simple cheek swab or blood sample. The analysis is performed by an accredited laboratory, and results are reviewed in a dedicated consultation with the practitioner. This consultation covers the clinical significance of each relevant finding, specific nutritional and lifestyle adjustments, and — where appropriate — integration with the clinic's micronutrient panel and nutritional health screen results for a complete picture of genotype and current phenotypic expression.
