Focus & Emotional Resilience

Gain insight into pathways associated with concentration, neurotransmitter activity, stress response and emotional regulation, providing another piece of the picture behind how your child functions.

Food, Digestion & Gut Health

Explore genetic factors associated with lactose digestion, gluten-related susceptibility and microbiome pathways, helping inform more individualised nutrition decisions.

Sleep & Biological Rhythm

Discover variations in circadian genes such as CLOCK and PER1 that may influence natural sleep and wake tendencies, helping you better support your child’s individual rhythm.

What Is Nutrigenomics

A more precise approach to children’s health.

Nutrigenomics is a precision science that uses DNA to understand how the body processes nutrients and responds to lifestyle and environment.

Rather than applying generic recommendations, it allows nutrition and lifestyle guidance to become more personalised to your child’s biology.

You Know Your Child. But Do You Know Their Biology?

Often, nothing appears obviously “wrong”. Yet as a parent, you may still find yourself wondering:

Why are they often tired? Why is focus harder some days?

Are they getting what they really need from their diet? Why do certain foods seem not to agree with them? Could sleep, digestion or nutrient needs be affecting how they feel?

Nutrigenomics provides another layer of insight, helping you understand your child through their individual biology, not averages alone.

What Your Child’s DNA Can Reveal

Go beyond general nutrition advice to understand some of the genetic differences that make your child unique. Your child’s DNA insights can help explore: • Could their nutritional needs differ from standard recommendations? • Are there vitamins or minerals they may need greater support to obtain or utilise effectively? • Could genetic differences influence how they respond to foods such as lactose, gluten or caffeine? • How might their genes influence digestion, gut microbiome and nutrient processing? • Are there biological pathways linked to energy, blood sugar and metabolism that may benefit from greater attention? • What can their DNA tell us about inflammation, antioxidant defence and immune resilience? • Could their natural circadian tendencies influence sleep and recovery? • Most importantly, where should you focus first to make more informed nutrition and lifestyle choices for your child?

    Could Your Child Need More Support With Vitamin A?

    Common variants in the BCO1 gene can influence how efficiently beta-carotene from plant foods is converted into active vitamin A. For vegetarian families, this is a useful example of why individual nutrient needs may differ, even when children eat similar foods.

  • Family preparing food together

    Could Your Child's Omega-3 Needs Be Different?

    Not everyone converts plant-based omega-3 fats into the forms the body uses with the same efficiency. Variations in the FADS1 and FADS2 genes influence this conversion process. Why it matters: This may be particularly relevant for vegetarian families, where omega-3 intake often comes from plant sources such as flaxseed, chia and walnuts.

  • Parents talking with a child beside a sports field

    Why Can Milk Suit Children Differently?

    The LCT gene provides instructions for lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk. Genetic differences in the regulation of lactase help explain why lactose digestion can change as children grow. Genetic insight is one part of the picture; symptoms and diet still need individual assessment. Source: MedlinePlus Genetics, LCT gene.

The Nutritional foundations panel completely changed how I looked at my son's nutrition. We'd spent years trying different foods and routines without really understanding what his body might need. What impressed me most wasn't the DNA test itself, but how Chetna interpreted it. She connected everything together, from nutrients and food choices to sleep and his eating habits, and explained it in plain English. We made a handful of manageable changes and within weeks meal times felt less stressful and he seemed to have much steadier energy throughout the day. As a parent, having that personalised roadmap has been invaluable.

Is nutrigenomic testing suitable for children?

Absolutely. Early insights can help parents understand their child’s nutritional, behavioural, and developmental needs, from energy, focus, and mood to immunity, digestion, and sleep. It is a proactive way to nurture resilience and wellbeing from the start.

Why test my child if they are healthy?

It is about optimisation, not illness. Understanding your child’s DNA can help you support their learning, growth, and emotional health more effectively. Think of it as a lifelong guide, offering clarity on how to nourish them best at every stage.

Is the test safe and non-invasive for children?

Yes. The test is completely non-invasive and done at home using a simple cheek swab. It is quick, painless, and suitable for all ages.

What can DNA testing reveal?

It provides deep insight into how your body processes nutrients, manages inflammation, detoxifies, regulates hormones, and maintains energy and mood. It helps identify where extra support may be needed, empowering you with a personalised blueprint for optimal health and prevention.

What about data privacy and security?

Unlike generic kits, your results are interpreted by a qualified practitioner trained in functional nutrition and nutrigenomics. Each report is explained within the context of your family’s goals, ensuring that recommendations are both scientific and practical.

Can DNA insights improve sports or academic performance?

Yes. Understanding genes related to energy, recovery, focus, and nutrient metabolism can help optimise performance, resilience, and concentration, both physically and mentally.
