Feeling constantly tired? Reaching for another coffee just to get through the day?

Stop chasing an energy boost. Start investigating WHY your energy is low.

Low energy is one of the most common complaints we hear from our patients at iDNA Health. Rather than simply masking fatigue with caffeine, we investigate what may be contributing to it at a cellular level.

🔋 Your mitochondria are the powerhouses of your cells, responsible for producing ATP, the energy currency that fuels almost every function in your body.

🧬 Your genetics play an important role in mitochondrial function, influencing how efficiently your cells produce energy, manage oxidative stress and utilise nutrients. Genetic variations may affect these processes, potentially contributing to reduced cellular energy production.

At iDNA Health, we use genetic screening to identify potential vulnerabilities and develop personalised nutritional and lifestyle strategies to support mitochondrial health.

✨ Don't just boost your energy. Understand how your body produces it.

Did you know that histamine intolerance may be contributing to your migraines?

Research has found that 85% of migraine sufferers have reduced activity of Diamine Oxidase (DAO), an important enzyme responsible for breaking down histamine, particularly in the gut.

⚠️ Reduced DAO activity can lead to increased histamine levels, potentially triggering migraines or increasing their severity.

Your genetics can influence how efficiently your body produces and regulates DAO.

🧬 If you suffer from recurring migraines, it may be worth investigating your histamine metabolism and DAO enzyme activity.

At iDNA Health, we use genetic screening to identify potential risk factors affecting histamine metabolism and develop personalised nutritional and lifestyle strategies.

Stop just managing your migraines. Start investigating what may be contributing to them.

Food does so much more than provide calories and nutrients. It communicates with your genes.

Bioactive compounds in food, including flavonoids and polyphenols, can influence gene expression and the cellular pathways that regulate your health.

For decades, we've focused on macronutrients: calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It's time to look beyond macros and understand how food influences the way our genes function.

🫐 MnSOD gene not functioning optimally? Blueberries contain anthocyanins that upregulate this enzyme.

🥕 Catalase antioxidant activity compromised? Beta-carotene-rich foods work best for this gene.

🥦 Detoxification pathways need support? Broccoli sprouts contain glucoraphanin and myrosinase, which can be converted into sulforaphane, a powerful compound that activates cellular defence pathways.

Your DNA helps reveal where your body may need additional nutritional support. At iDNA Health, we use genetic screening to identify your individual risk factors and develop personalised nutritional strategies.

🧬 Stop guessing what to eat. Start understanding what YOUR genes need.

Could the folate in your supplement be the wrong form for your body? For some people, the answer is yes. 💊

Most people don't realise there are several different forms of folate, and they aren't interchangeable. Today, let's talk about folic acid.

Folate is the form that occurs naturally in food. Folic acid is the synthetic version, used in most supplements and added to foods as a preservative. Before your body can use it, folic acid has to be processed by an enzyme called DHFR.

Here's the problem 👇 In humans this enzyme is already slow, and some people carry genetic variants that make it much slower again. When folic acid can't be converted efficiently, it can circulate as unmetabolised folic acid, and research has raised concerns about the potential effects of that.

This is why we recommend genetic screening: to understand which forms of folate suit you, and which to avoid. At iDNA Health we screen extensively across the folate pathway. 👉 Follow for more.

If you have gut problems, there's one thing you really need to know: are you a secretor or a non-secretor? 🧬

In plain terms, it's whether your body can produce the attachment site that gut bacteria use to colonise your intestines. (Technically, a glycan called α1,2-fucose.) This is the biological interface between you and your entire gut microbiome.

Secretors CAN produce this attachment site
Non-secretors CANNOT

Your secretor status shapes almost everything about your gut: your microbiome diversity, which species can survive in your large intestine, the health of your intestinal lining and mucosal layer, your tolerance to fermentable fibre, your inflammatory and immune response, and even your risk of infection and disease.

If you're a non-secretor, you need very specific interventions around diet and supplements. And that's our specialty. 👉 Message us to find out about screening your secretor status.

Here's something most people don't know: we are all born able to digest lactose. 🥛

Lactose is the sugar in animal and human milk, made of a glucose and a galactose molecule joined together. To absorb it, your body makes an enzyme called lactase in the small intestine, which splits lactose so it can pass through the intestinal wall.

The twist is what happens next. For most of the world's population, the MCM6 gene switches OFF as we age and stops producing lactase, which is how we become lactose intolerant.

But some people have an MCM6 gene that never switches off. They keep producing lactase for life, and stay lactose tolerant.

Your genetics tell us which one you are:

MCM6 switches OFF → lactose intolerant
MCM6 stays ON → lactose tolerant

No more guessing with elimination. 👉 Save this and follow for more.

Ever wondered why gluten triggers some people's immune system and not others? The answer is in your DNA. 🧬

Your HLA system is your body's security team. Specialised immune cells called Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs) constantly scan for anything foreign entering the body: bacteria, viruses and food proteins.

Every time you eat, these APCs migrate to your intestines to inspect what's arrived with your food. Antigens get picked up by the HLA receptor and presented to the immune system for checking.

Here's where it changes 👇 Some people carry a genetic variant in the HLA receptor that lets gliadin (gluten) lock into the receptor. The immune system then reads those fragments as a threat and mounts a response.

This is exactly why genetic screening is so valuable. Your DNA can reveal whether you carry the key HLA risk variants linked to an immune response to gluten. 👉 Follow iDNA Health for genetics made practical.

Getting your DNA tested is easy. Understanding what it means for your health? That's where it gets complex. 🧬

Most genetic tests hand you raw data, but very little guidance on what it means for your body, how it affects your health, or what you should actually do about it. And without proper interpretation, DNA data is just information, not transformation.

With 15+ years in Clinical Genetics, our team sees it again and again: patients walking in with reports they can't understand and can't use.

Your genetics influence real biological pathways, enzyme function, nutrient metabolism, detox capacity, hormone regulation. Interpret it wrong, and you miss the opportunity entirely. This is where clinical genetics matters:
✔ Translating data into function
✔ Identifying what's actually impacting you
✔ Applying targeted, personalised interventions

Choose your DNA test, and your practitioner, carefully. Because the value isn't in the data. It's in how it's interpreted and applied.

Before you take another B12 supplement, read this. 💊

Absorbing B12 isn't simple. It's actually one of the most complex nutrient absorption processes in the body, and here's what most people don't realise 👇

Your stomach acid can destroy B12, so your body relies on a specialised binding protein to protect it. The problem? Not everyone produces adequate levels of this protein. 👉 If you can't protect your B12 from stomach acid it will be destroyed before it is absorbed.

This is where genetics matters. Your DNA can reveal whether you have a reduced capacity to produce this binding protein, and if that's you, the strategy changes. Instead of standard oral supplements, you may need sublingual, intramuscular or intravenous delivery. Don't guess. Test. Personalise. Because with B12, it's not just what you take, it's what you absorb.
