No matter your age, optimising your health isn’t about guesswork—it’s about understanding what your body truly needs. Whether you're looking to prevent age-related decline, boost energy or stay active for your next big adventure, the key lies in your genes.
I discovered this firsthand when I took the Genomic Wellness DNA Test at age 50. The insights were a game-changer. By making targeted changes to my diet and lifestyle, I’ve lost visceral fat, gained muscle mass, balanced my energy levels, and even reversed signs of aging at a biological level. My exercise plan is now tailored to my genetics, helping me drop fat while building strength like never before. Instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach, I now have a blueprint for my body’s unique needs—and I feel the difference every day.
Experts like Dr. Ben Lynch and Dr. Margaret Smith support this science-based approach to health and longevity. They believe that understanding your genetic blueprint can help you make smarter choices for nutrition, fitness and wellness—tailored precisely to your body’s needs.
So, why should you consider taking a DNA wellness test? Here are the top five reasons.

The old saying “you are what you eat” is only half true. The real story? You are what your DNA allows you to absorb and process.
A genomic wellness test can reveal how your body metabolises macronutrients like carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Some people thrive on a high-fat keto-style diet, while others feel sluggish and gain weight on the same plan. If you’ve ever wondered why a popular diet works wonders for your friends but leaves you feeling off, your genes might hold the answer.
A Genomic Wellness Plus Test can also uncover genetic predispositions to food sensitivities, like gluten or lactose intolerance, helping you refine your diet for optimal digestion and energy.
Ever feel like your body just doesn’t clear toxins or recover as efficiently as it used to? Your genes might be playing a role.
Key genes, including MTHFR, COMT and GST/GPX, influence how well your body detoxifies environmental toxins, clears out excess hormones and metabolises essential nutrients like folate and B12. When these pathways aren’t functioning optimally, you may experience brain fog, chronic fatigue or hormonal imbalances—symptoms often mistaken as “just aging.”
A DNA wellness test can help pinpoint where you need extra nutritional support, such as B-complex vitamins, liver-supporting antioxidants or lifestyle tweaks that enhance your body’s natural detox processes.
Brain fog, mood swings and stress resilience are all influenced by your genetic blueprint.
Genes like COMT and MAOA control how your brain processes neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, affecting everything from focus and motivation to anxiety and depression.
By understanding your genetic tendencies, you can:
✔ Discover whether caffeine and stress boost or drain your performance
✔ Optimise your sleep, relaxation and cognitive function
✔ Support your brain health with targeted nutritional support
This is mental fitness at the genetic level—giving you the power to stay sharp, calm and focused as you age.
Chronic inflammation is often the silent culprit behind aging-related diseases, from arthritis to cardiovascular issues.
Certain genetic markers, such as IL6, TNF-alpha, and Nrf2, can reveal whether your body is naturally prone to higher levels of inflammation. If so, making strategic dietary and lifestyle choices—such as prioritising anti-inflammatory foods, targeted supplements and personalised exercise regimens—can help reduce your risk of chronic conditions.
A DNA wellness test can also provide insights into immune function, helping you understand how your body responds to infections and whether you need extra support in certain areas.
Staying active and energetic as we age isn’t just about willpower—it’s about working with your biology, not against it.
Your genes influence:
✔ Muscle composition and recovery (Are you better suited for endurance or strength training?)
✔ Metabolism and energy production (Are you genetically wired for higher fat-burning or carb-burning efficiency?)
✔ Longevity pathways (What tweaks can help you slow down cellular aging and enhance vitality?)
Understanding these factors allows you to optimise your fitness routine, supplement regimen and recovery strategies to support long-term strength and longevity.
Aging is inevitable, but how we age is highly customizable.
By decoding your genetic blueprint, you gain insightful, actionable knowledge—empowering you to optimise your diet, detoxification, brain function, immune health and fitness... based on what your body truly needs.
The best part? Armed with this knowledge, you can make small but powerful changes that can add years—and vitality—to your life.
