DNA & Nutrigenomics Testing – Personalised Health Insights in Cheshire
Your DNA holds the key to how your body responds to food, stress, and lifestyle — we translate those insights into a personalised plan for lasting health
Why Consider DNA Testing?
Have you ever wondered:
Why do certain foods cause problems for me but not others?
Why does one diet work for a friend but not for me?
Could my genetics explain risks like diabetes, heart disease, or inflammation?
Your DNA is like an instruction manual for how your body works. It influences how you metabolise food, absorb nutrients, manage stress, and regulate inflammation. When these processes aren’t working smoothly, it can lead to fatigue, weight struggles, digestive issues, or a higher risk of chronic disease.
Nutrigenomics testing unlocks this information. By understanding your unique genetic blueprint, we can:
Explain why certain foods or diets don’t work for you
Identify where you may need more (or less) of specific nutrients
Understand how your body manages inflammation and detoxification
Spot genetic traits that may increase long-term health risks
Build a tailored plan to support energy, balance, and resilience
At The Holistic GP Clinic, DNA testing isn’t about predicting your future. It’s about giving you clarity and control — turning your genetic insights into practical steps for a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
FAQs
Can DNA testing predict disease?
No — DNA testing does not predict your future or diagnose disease. Instead, it highlights genetic traits that may influence how your body processes food, responds to stress, or manages inflammation. This insight helps guide preventive strategies tailored to you.
How accurate is nutrigenomics testing?
The laboratories we use apply validated methods to assess specific genetic variations. Accuracy is high, but it’s important to understand that results are interpreted in context — we always combine them with your health history, symptoms, and other tests.
Will I need to change my diet or lifestyle completely?
Not necessarily. DNA testing helps identify where small, targeted changes can make the biggest difference. This might mean adjusting nutrient intake, choosing foods that suit your genetics better, or making specific lifestyle tweaks.
Is this the same as ancestry DNA testing?
No — ancestry tests look at where your family came from. Nutrigenomics testing focuses on genes related to health, nutrition, inflammation, and metabolism. It’s about practical, personalised health guidance, not ancestry.
Can my results change over time?
Your DNA itself doesn’t change. However, how your genes are expressed can be influenced by lifestyle, diet, stress, and environment. That’s why interpreting your genetic profile alongside functional medicine is so valuable — it helps you make choices that work with your biology.
Is DNA testing suitable for everyone?
Yes, most adults can benefit. It’s particularly useful for people who’ve struggled with diets that don’t work for them, unexplained inflammation, or a family history of chronic conditions. We’ll advise if it’s right for you during your consultation.
Is nutrigenomics testing covered by private insurance?
Most private insurers don’t currently cover this type of testing. We’ll always provide transparent pricing before arranging any test.
How much does DNA & Nutrigenomics testing cost?
DNA testing is included within our personalised care packages, which range from £995–£2,500 depending on the level of testing and support you need. The test itself is arranged and interpreted by a GP, and always combined with a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan.
You’ll receive clear pricing before any testing is organised, so you know exactly what’s involved.
If you’re tired of guessing why certain foods don’t agree with you, why diets never seem to work, or why inflammation keeps coming back, it may be time for real answers. DNA testing can uncover the hidden factors driving your health struggles and give you clarity at last.
