Health & Wellbeing
Why choose a Health & Wellbeing Report™?
The genes in every human being exist as a pair, and like every close relationship, sometimes our genes don’t get along and don’t team up as well as others.
These genetic variations are the focus of Fitgenes’ Health & Wellbeing Report™, a comprehensive analysis of your personal genetic profile and how the variants in your genes can influence your fitness and your general health.
Fitgenes will review specially selected genes to assist you and your practitioner determine diet and lifestyle choices suited to your DNA.
Our Health & Wellbeing Report™ will outline gene variations, and whether peer-reviewed science suggests they’re beneficial or not. Remember, many genetic variations can be managed or compensated for; your practitioner will step you through this process.
The Fitgenes Health & Wellbeing Report™ aims to identify any of your variants in key genes of major physiological pathways that may influence the way your body functions, and how it responds to what you eat, how you exercise, and how you live your life, as well as your risk for a number of health issues related to these pathways.
Beneficial
One or both of the genes in the pair contributes to normal, healthy function.
Less Beneficial
One of the genes in the pair is contributing to a situation that impairs healthy function.
Least Beneficial
A little about our Practitioners

If you want to maximise your potential for healthy living and ageing, the secret may lie in your genes.
Match your diet
to your genes
Everything you eat has an effect on your genes; they can’t be changed, but you can turn them on and off by making the right dietary choices.
If you know your genes, you can make more informed decisions about your diet to maximise your health.

Nutrition
It is well known that good nutrition is essential for a healthy lifestyle, as it affects growth and development, health and wellbeing.
There are seven major classes of nutrients; carbohydrates, fats, fibre, minerals, proteins, vitamins, and water. A healthy diet needs a balanced consumption of all these nutrients.
Each of our reports is supported by nutritional requirements underpinned from the Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand. Further information can be found by visiting https://www.nrv.gov.au/
What the report
will tell you
This DNA-based report will explain the effects of your genetic variants, with reference to the following physiological groupings.
- Inflammation – your body’s reaction to injury or disease
- Cell Defence – the systems that respond to invading pathogens
- Vitamin D Receptors – the protein that processes your Vitamin D
- Methylation
- Homocysteine Metabolism – the proper functioning of metabolic pathways and efficient enzyme activity.
