Genetic Profiling for Personalised Health
No two people are the same—so why would their health plans be?
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, it may be because your body responds differently at a biological level.
Genetic profiling offers a way to better understand those differences — so your health plan can be more closely tailored to you.
What Is Genetic Profiling?
Genetic profiling for wellness is not about diagnosing disease — it’s about understanding how your body may be wired to function.
Practitioner-only reports such as Fitgenes, along with selected panels from laboratories such as myDNA and DNALife, can provide insight into key biological systems including inflammation, detoxification, methylation, nutrient metabolism and hormonal regulation.
This information becomes most valuable when interpreted in the context of your symptoms, health history and overall health picture.
What Is Nutrigenetics?
Nutrigenetics explores how your genetic makeup influences your response to specific nutrients, foods, and dietary patterns.
It helps explain why:
a particular diet works well for one person but not another
some people thrive on certain supplements while others don’t notice a difference
your energy, metabolism, and stress response may not behave as expected
By understanding how your body may process things like B vitamins, fats, caffeine, and inflammation, we can begin to personalise your nutrition and lifestyle in a much more targeted way.
Why Use Your Genes to Guide Your Health?
Your genes don’t determine your destiny — but they can highlight where your body may need more support.
When combined with naturopathic and functional medicine principles, genetic insights can help:
Personalise your nutrition and supplementation
Identify contributors to fatigue, mood changes, inflammation, or digestive concerns
Support a more targeted and efficient approach to your health
Guide long-term prevention strategies
Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, we’re working with a clearer understanding of how your body is wired to function.
How Genetic Testing Fits into Your Care
Genetic profiling can provide valuable insight into your lifelong biological tendencies — including how your body may respond to nutrients, foods, stress, inflammation, detoxification demands and metabolic changes.
While many people are interested in genetic profiling from the beginning, genetic testing is not interpreted in isolation.
To ensure your results are meaningful and clinically relevant, genetic profiling is considered following your Comprehensive Health Assessment — once we have a clear understanding of your health history, symptoms, goals and priorities.
This allows your genetic results to be interpreted in context, so they can be translated into practical recommendations that are relevant to your current health and long-term wellbeing.
Genetic profiling may be included as part of an Insight Pathway or as a Targeted Insight Add-On during your care.
An Insight Pathway may be recommended when genetic profiling is appropriate as a deeper investigative next step following your Comprehensive Health Assessment.
A Targeted Insight Add-On may be suitable after your Comprehensive Health Assessment, or during continued support, when genetic profiling would help refine your established health strategy.
In either case, your results are carefully interpreted and integrated with your symptoms, health history and broader clinical picture — so the information is directly applied to your health, not simply reviewed as a standalone report.
Genetic profiling test costs are additional to consultation, pathway and add-on fees. If genetic testing is appropriate, the recommended option and any test costs will be discussed before proceeding.
Insight Pathways and Targeted Insight Add-Ons are arranged separately after discussion and confirmation, rather than self-booked through HealthBank.
If you’re specifically interested in genetic testing, we can discuss this during your Comprehensive Health Assessment and determine how it would best fit into your care — whether as part of an Insight Pathway or as a Targeted Insight Add-On.
What You Can Expect
When genetic profiling is included in your care, the process typically includes:
Selection of the most relevant genetic test for your needs
Review of your results in a dedicated consultation
A personalised plan tailored to your genetic profile, current health picture and long-term goals
Your plan may include:
Nutrition and dietary adjustments
Targeted supplementation
Lifestyle strategies to support energy, stress resilience and hormonal balance
Recommendations for further testing or medical follow-up if needed
The focus is always on practical, sustainable steps.
When Genetic Profiling May Be Helpful
You may benefit from this approach if you’ve been wondering:
Why do I still feel this way when everything looks “normal”?
Why don’t standard diets or supplements seem to work for me?
Why do I respond differently to certain foods, supplements or lifestyle changes?
What is actually going on underneath my symptoms?
For many people, genetic insights help connect missing pieces — but they are most effective when used as part of a broader, personalised approach.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If you’re interested in genetic profiling, begin with a Health Story Consultation, the first part of the Comprehensive Health Assessment.
This gives us time to understand your health history, current concerns and priorities before deciding whether genetic testing is likely to provide useful, relevant insight.
In the following Personalised Health Strategy Consultation, we can discuss how genetic profiling may fit into your broader health strategy and whether it is the most appropriate next step for you.
Start with insight — and a plan that reflects your individual biology.

Your genes provide a blueprint — but it’s how they’re interpreted within the context of your health that makes them meaningful.
