Lifecode GX Hormones Test (DNA), Interpretation & Plan

Nutrigenomics is the study of how genes and nutrients interact, this test allows you to explore your genetic blueprint and understand how your body uniquely responds to steroid hormones. This knowledge gives us the ability to help dial up or dial down these genetic variants with personalised dietary interventions to promote hormone balance.
 
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. 
 
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
 
Hormones tested include:
 
  • Progesterone
  • Oestrogen
  • Testosterone
  • DHEA

  • 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 we will create a video summary for you, explaining the test findings and how this links to your personalised plan.

  • 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.
