Lifecode GX Hormones Test (DNA), Interpretation & Plan
  • Lifecode GX Hormones Test (DNA), Interpretation & Plan

    Explore your genetic blueprint for a deeper understanding of how your body uniquely responds to steroid hormones, including cortisol, oestrogen, and testosterone. Get personalised guidance to promote hormone balance and support your optimal health.

     

    Steroid hormones are a group of hormones derived from cholesterol that act as chemical messengers in the body. They are involved in the regulation of many physiological processes in both men and women, such as the development and function of the reproductive system, metabolism, inflammation and immune system.

     

    Steroid hormone imbalances can impact both men and women, leading to a variety of symptoms such as:

     

    • Menstrual irregularities
    • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
    • Endometriosis
    • Mood swings
    • Depression
    • Memory issues
    • Weight gain 
    • Prostate Issues
    • Infertility
    • Reduced libido
    • Low sperm count
    • Acne
    • Hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast and prostate

     

    The Hormones test identifies how specific gene variants may contribute to hormone imbalances and provides insights into the nutrients and environmental factors that can help improve and maintain hormonal balance. 

     

    Nutrigenomics is the study of how genes and nutrients interact, this gives us the ability to help dial up or dial down these genetic variants with personalised dietary interventions.

     

    Having access to this information means we can tailor a plan specifically to you and provide nutritional, lifestyle and supplement recommendations based on your symptoms and what your body needs to rebalance. 

     

    These valuable insights can help with;

     

    • Understanding the cause of your symptoms
    • Provide you with a personalised approach to balance your hormones
    • Reduce perimenopause hormone fluctuations
    • Manage the risk of hormone-related conditions
    • Support fertility planning and reproductive health
    • Understand genetic risk factors for HRT

    • Progesterone
    • Oestrogen
    • Testosterone
    • DHEA
    • Cortisol (and their derivatives)

    • Sharing your symptoms & getting your results

      When you book the test you will be sent a symptom questionnaire and a diet diary so we can look at your results in the context of your symptoms and medical history.

      Once we receive your results back from the lab, you will be sent a link to book a 30-minute consultation where we will take you through your results and *plan.

      We appreciate not everyone likes to speak to a practitioner, so you can also opt for your results and plan to be shared by email in a video summary.  

      Please indicate your preference below.

    • Testing Info

      Test Info:

      • DNA testing requires a cheek swab.
      • To avoid contamination of the sample, do not eat or drink for at least 1 hour prior to testing.
      • The lab takes approximately 3 weeks to process your test after your sample is received.
