Every cell in your body contains DNA, the biological code that makes you uniquely you. It doesn’t just determine your height or eye colour, it tells your body how to do everything.

It is the very code of life.

But we are not all the same

Within that code are small variations called SNPs (or snips) that create small but important differences in how your biology functions.

They influence things like how well you absorb vitamin D, whether you clear oestrogen efficiently, how quickly you metabolise caffeine, how your body regulates blood sugar and how prone you are to inflammation. SNPs do not create poor health or disease on their own. But in combination, they can meaningfully affect your energy, your hormones, your mental wellbeing, detoxification capacity and your long-term health.

As a Nutrigenomics Nutritionist, I use those variations to understand your body on a deeper level and translate that into practical, food first recommendations that are built for your unique biology.

Your genetics and your lifestyle are in constant conversation with each other. We can’t change our genes, but we can change what we do to make them less significant.

That is exactly what nutrigenomics is for.
