Unlock your health potential with genetic testing
Our makeup is fascinating – genetically, we are 99.9% identical. Did you know that it’s the 0.1% variance in our genes that is responsible for making us so different to one another! Mind-blowing, isn’t it?
Your unique story is encoded into molecules in your cells, known as DNA. DNA serves as a blueprint for everything about you. Ultimately, your genes determine your health potential by managing your body’s chemistry.

Got gut questions? You’re not alone.
-
Absolutely. A dietitian is trained to address gut-related issues through the use of personalised, evidence-based treatment strategies.
-
A dietitian, with a special interest in integrative nutritional therapy, uses a so-called ‘5R approach’ to heal the gut. A stepwise approach to optimising gut health involves:
1) Removing identified trigger foods to which you may be having an adverse reaction; as well as ridding your gut of any unwanted pathogens or harmful bacteria.
2) Replacing lost nutrients due to poor digestion, malabsorption or inadequate dietary practices.
3) Reinoculating the gut with beneficial bacteria, in the form of foods or through the use of targeted probiotic therapy; as well as increasing dietary fibre intake to obtain a more desirable gut microbiome.
4) Repairing the gut lining by using specific nutrients to promote cell growth and turnover to repair ‘leaky gut’.
5) Rebalancing looks at a holistic longterm approach to maintaining a healthy gut, which involves both dietary and lifestyle changes. It consists of the reintroduction of ‘trigger’ foods and promotes balanced, sustainable dietary interventions.

It usually takes between 1 to 3 months to undergo a step-wise, targeted approach to healing your gut.
If you’re struggling with any of these, chat with a dietician to diagnose and treat the root cause.
