Fitgenes Genetic Testing
Have you ever wondered why the plan that worked so well for a friend didn't work for you? Fitgenes is an Australian genetic testing company that helps answer that question. Its reports look at a range of genes linked to health, nutrition and fitness, and I use the results, together with your health history, symptoms and lifestyle, to design a plan that suits your body rather than a generic template.
It's my favourite testing, because it gives you so much helpful information and truly changes the way you focus on your health.
What does the testing look at?
Your results show how variations in your genes may influence things like how your body handles different nutrients, how you respond to certain foods, your hormones and immune response, and how you respond to exercise.
The Fitgenes Mega Bundle includes the Health and Wellbeing Report, plus upgrade reports covering food choices, dietary choices, immune health, women's hormone and fertility health, and fitness, so you get a broad and detailed picture in one go.
How can it help you?
Instead of guessing, we can focus on what is most likely to help you. For some women that means fine tuning protein, carbohydrate and fat targets. For others it means choosing foods and nutrients that suit how their body works, or looking at areas that may be affecting hormones, energy or inflammation. Your genes are a starting point, not a verdict, and many genetic variations can be supported through the right food and lifestyle choices.
I find this especially helpful for women who feel they have tried everything, and for those navigating menopause, weight, gut health or lipoedema, where one size fits all advice so often falls short.
How does it work?
Testing is done with a simple cheek swab, and I'll explain exactly how it works when we speak. When your results are ready, we go through them together in a consultation, and I turn them into a practical plan you can start using straight away.
Fitgenes takes privacy seriously and does not share or sell your data.
Please note: Fitgenes reports provide an overview of potential genetic predispositions. They do not diagnose any disease or condition, and they work best alongside good food, sleep, movement and support from your healthcare team.
