Comprehensive DNA Testing

StrideDNA, our advanced at-home DNA test, analyses 9,000 essential genetic locations and 110 key genes, generating over 40 personalised genetic reports, covering:

  • Methylation Profile: Understanding your genetic capacity for key biological processes (e.g. Folate cycle and the MTHFR gene)
  • Diet & Nutrition: Personalised insights into your optimal diet, food sensitivities and micronutrient needs (e.g. Carb/fat sensitivities, vitamin B needs, lactose tolerance)
  • Fitness & Recovery: Exercise response and recovery optimisation markers (e.g. Power vs endurance, aerobic trainability, injury risk)
  • Sleep & Stress: Genetic factors affecting your rest and resilience (e.g. Chronotype, sleep quality, stress resilience)
  • Skin Health: Your genetic predisposition to various skin conditions and optimal care (e.g. Skin ageing, oxidative stress, pigmentation)

Each report includes practical, personalised recommendations to help you optimise your health based on your genetic profile.

Advanced Blood Testing

Our comprehensive at-home blood testing service, provides an in-depth analysis of the biomarkers that matter most for long-term health, energy and performance. Using accredited UK laboratories, the test evaluates key systems:

  • Metabolic Health : Understand your energy regulation, glucose control and weight-related metabolic function (e.g. HbA1c, fasting insulin, lipid profile including HDL/LDL/Triglycerides).
  • Hormonal Balance : Insights into the hormones that influence mood, metabolism, energy and healthy ageing (e.g. cortisol, testosterone, oestradiol, thyroid function including TSH, FT3, FT4).
  • Inflammation & Immunity : Identify hidden inflammation and immune stress impacting recovery, fatigue and long-term health (e.g. hs-CRP, white blood cell markers).
  • Cardiovascular Health : A clear picture of heart and vascular health, including early-warning markers that help you take proactive action (e.g. cholesterol ratios, ApoB if applicable).
  • Nutritional Status : Analysis of essential vitamins and minerals that support optimal cellular function, immunity, cognition and energy (e.g. vitamin D, B12, folate, ferritin).

Each blood test report includes evidence-based recommendations for diet, supplementation and lifestyle to help you make targeted improvements.
