What are the Focus Areas?
Analysis of Genes Related to Mental Health
Mental health disorders and symptoms are 50-85% hereditary. How you react to and perform under stress, how you produce and balance key neurotransmitters essential for healthy mood are impacted by your genetics.
Food Intolerance and Diet
Food intolerances, especially to gluten and lactose are associated with depression, anxiety, mania and bipolar disorder. Your DNA will quickly identify food intolerance and the right type of diet for you.
Alcohol and Caffeine
Alcohol and caffeine have a strong impact on mental health. Certain genetic mutations can increase your risk of both alcohol abuse as well as your risk of mental health issues. In some people caffeine can increase anxiety. Use your DNA to understand how alcohol and caffeine are impacting on your mental health.
Gut Microbiome
Research is highlighting how your gut microbiome impacts on mental health via the Gut/Brain Axis and production of bacterial metabolic by-products.
Exercise and Mental Health
We can identify those individuals where exercise is critical to supporting their mental health through supporting production of nerve growth factors that are essential for brain and mental health.
Nutritional Supplements
There are key nutritional supplements to support healthy brain and mood. We will use your DNA to pinpoint exactly what you need, no more guessing.
