Genetic Preventive Health Assessment Test

The Genetic Preventive Health Assessment test is a personalised wellness assessment that uses your genetic information to provide insights into how certain genetic variations may be associated with factors such as nutrition, exercise, lifestyle habits, and other aspects of health. Your genes can influence how you process nutrients, regulate metabolism, respond to physical activity, and interact with environmental and lifestyle factors. Understanding these genetic variations may help you make more informed choices for long-term health and wellness.

The test analyses 44 genetic markers across five key areas: nutrition and metabolic health; disease susceptibility and preventive health; food sensitivity and lifestyle response; fitness and physical performance; and behavioural, cognitive, and gender-specific health. It may provide insights into nutrient metabolism, weight management, cardiovascular and metabolic health, food and lifestyle responses, exercise and recovery, sleep and circadian rhythm, oxidative stress, bone health, and selected hormonal and behavioural traits. The results provide personalised insights based on your genetic profile, which may help inform lifestyle and wellness choices.

The test requires a blood sample, which can be collected from your home by a trained phlebotomist at a convenient time. Fasting is not required, so you may follow your usual diet and routine before sample collection. The report is intended to support wellness and preventive health planning and does not diagnose diseases or predict with certainty whether a condition will develop. Genetic findings should be interpreted in context, as having a particular genetic variation does not necessarily mean that a health condition or trait will occur. Your doctor or healthcare professional can help interpret the results alongside your personal and family history and other relevant health information.

The Genetic Preventive Health Assessment test analyses selected genetic variations to provide personalised insights across different aspects of health, lifestyle, and wellness, including:

• Nutrition and metabolic health: Genetic factors related to vitamin and nutrient metabolism, iron-related genetic predisposition, homocysteine metabolism, obesity predisposition, weight management, fat metabolism, and sensitivity to certain dietary components.
• Disease susceptibility and preventive health: Genetic factors associated with lipid metabolism, cardiovascular health, obesity and metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and other selected disease- associated risks.
• Food sensitivity and lifestyle response: Genetic traits associated with lactose, caffeine, and salt sensitivity, histamine response, and individual differences in the body’s response to alcohol and nicotine.
• Fitness and physical performance: Genetic factors associated with exercise response, endurance, strength, power, injury risk, and recovery, and other exercise- and performance related traits.
• Behavioural, cognitive and gender-specific health: Genetic factors related to sleep and circadian rhythm, appetite regulation, behavioural and cognitive traits, earwax and body odour characteristics, bone health, and aspects of men’s or women’s hormonal health.
• Antioxidant defence and oxidative stress, as well as other traits relevant to personalised wellness and preventive health.

Important: These results indicate genetic tendencies or predispositions, not actual vitamin levels, disease presence, or certainty that a condition or trait will develop. They should be interpreted as part of a broader health assessment and used to support personalised lifestyle choices and wellness planning, rather than replace medical evaluation.

This assessment may be suitable for adults who want to understand how their genetic profile may be associated with different aspects of their health and lifestyle. It may be particularly relevant for those who:

• Want personalised insights into nutrition, metabolism, and weight management.
• Want to better understand their genetic associations with responses to diet, caffeine, alcohol, salt, or other lifestyle factors.
• Are interested in understanding genetic factors associated with exercise, fitness, performance, and recovery.
• Want insights into sleep, circadian rhythm and behavioural traits.
• Are interested in genetic factors related to preventive health and disease susceptibility.
• Want to use genetic information as a starting point for long-term, personalised wellness planning.

What to expect before the sample collection:

• Fasting is not required, so you can have your usual meals and follow your normal routine.
• The test can be done at any time of the day.
• No specific dietary or lifestyle changes are generally needed before sample collection.
• Inform your doctor about any relevant medical history, medications, or genetic concerns if you are undergoing the test as part of a medical evaluation.

What to expect during the sample collection:

• The sample collection process is simple and usually takes only a few minutes.
• A trained phlebotomist will visit your home at the scheduled time and will collect a blood sample from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle after cleaning the area with an antiseptic.
• You may experience a brief pinprick or mild discomfort when the needle is inserted, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.
• Once the blood sample has been collected, gentle pressure will be applied to the site, and a small bandage may be placed to minimise bleeding.

What to expect after the sample collection:

• Once the sample has been collected, it will be taken to the laboratory for analysis.
• Mild pain, bruising, or tenderness at the blood collection site may occur but typically resolves within a day or two without treatment.
• You can resume your normal activities immediately after sample collection.
• Reports are expected in about 15 days after sample collection. The report provides personalised genetic insights and wellness-related recommendations based on the markers analysed.
• The report is intended for wellness and preventive planning and should be interpreted in the context of your overall health and, where appropriate, with guidance from a doctor or qualified healthcare professional.

Note: If you notice anything unusual at the puncture site, such as persistent bleeding, a rash, or pain, consult your healthcare provider.

The assessment analyses selected genetic markers associated with the following wellness domains:

Note: The assessment does not measure these traits directly through individual blood tests. Instead, it analyses selected genetic variations and uses them to provide genotype-based insights and personalised wellness recommendations.

Note: Your report will contain the detailed results for each genetic parameter, including the genes analysed, genetic variants (rsIDs), detected genotype, interpretation of their potential impact, effect category (high, medium, or low), and personalised lifestyle recommendations. Please refer to your report for your individual results and their interpretation.

Nutrition and Metabolic Health: 11 Parameters

Disease Susceptibility and Preventive Health: 11 Parameters

Food Sensitivity and Lifestyle Response: 8 Parameters

Fitness and Performance Genetics: 6 Parameters

Behavioural, Cognitive, and Gender-Specific Health: 8 Parameters

Important: These are genetic traits/insights, not conventional laboratory measurements. The report’s individual results should be interpreted according to the genetic categories used by the testing laboratory. Genetic findings indicate tendencies or associations and should not be interpreted as a diagnosis or a definite prediction of health outcomes.
