Nutrition guided by your genetics

A DNA test that reads genetic variants influencing how you metabolise nutrients, respond to diet, and process caffeine and fats — delivered as a personalised report with clinical interpretation, so guidance is tailored to you rather than the population average. £286 · clinician-reviewed results · CQC-regulated.

Who it's for

Who this DNA test is for

Genetic variation shapes how individuals metabolise nutrients and respond to dietary changes. This DNA test is a sensible step if you recognise any of these — and comes with clinical interpretation.

Personalised nutrition

You want guidance tailored to your genetics, beyond population-level recommendations.

Family history of disease

A family history of metabolic or cardiovascular disease and an interest in genetic risk.

Athletes optimising diet

You want to fine-tune nutrition around your individual genetic metabolism.

Diet hasn't worked

Standard dietary approaches haven't given you the results you expected.

Nutrient requirements

You're curious how your genes affect vitamin D, B12, folate and omega-3 needs.

A one-off test

DNA doesn't change, so this is a single test that informs long-term choices.

What we analyse

Six areas of nutrition-related genetics

This DNA test reads variants (SNPs) across genes that influence nutrition, food tolerance and cardiovascular risk. Here's what each area can tell you.

Nutrient metabolism

Variants affecting how your body handles vitamin D, B12, folate and omega-3 — and your individual requirements.

Genetic variants

MTHFR & folate

MTHFR polymorphisms that affect folate metabolism and homocysteine levels.

Genetic variants

Lactose tolerance

LCT gene variants associated with the genetic likelihood of lactose intolerance.

Genetic variants

Coeliac predisposition

HLA-DQ2/DQ8 status, used to assess genetic predisposition to coeliac disease.

Genetic variants

Caffeine metabolism

CYP1A2 variants that influence how quickly you clear caffeine and related cardiovascular risk.

Genetic variants

Fat & cholesterol response

APOE genotype, linked to how you respond to saturated fat and to cardiovascular risk.

Food sensitivity

Lifestyle & cardiovascular

Caffeine metabolism (CYP1A2)Saturated fat & cholesterol response (APOE)

DNA analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across genes governing nutrient metabolism, food sensitivity, caffeine metabolism and cardiovascular risk. Results are delivered as a detailed personalised report with clinical interpretation. This is a genetic lifestyle test and not a diagnostic or routine blood panel — results inform dietary and lifestyle choices and do not replace clinical advice. Every report is reviewed by a clinician.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Is this a blood test or a DNA test?
This is a genetic (DNA) lifestyle test, not a routine blood panel. It analyses genetic variants (SNPs) that influence nutrition, food tolerance, caffeine metabolism and cardiovascular risk, and is delivered as a personalised report with clinical interpretation.
What will the report tell me?
The report explains how your genetic variants relate to nutrient metabolism and requirements (vitamin D, B12, folate, omega-3), folate handling (MTHFR), lactose and coeliac predisposition, caffeine metabolism and your response to dietary fat. It's designed to inform personalised dietary and lifestyle choices.
Will this diagnose a condition?
No. It is a lifestyle and risk-insight test, not a diagnostic test. Genetic predisposition is not the same as having a condition. Your report is reviewed by a clinician and does not replace clinical advice or diagnosis.
How long do results take?
We process your sample and contact you as soon as your clinician-reviewed report is ready — turnaround varies for genetic analysis. Every report is reviewed by a clinician.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by calling 0121 387 3727. Same-week appointments are available 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm.
Can I claim this on private health insurance?
Lifestyle genetic tests are usually paid for directly rather than through insurance. Call us on 0121 387 3727 and our team will advise.

Understanding your Nutritional Lifestyle Dna Test results

Each result in your Nutritional Lifestyle Dna Test is reviewed by a clinician before release. Below is a plain-English guide to the key markers included in this panel.

Key Biomarkers

This panel assesses the key markers relevant to nutritional lifestyle dna test. Each result is reviewed by a clinician who will flag any values outside the expected range for your age and sex.

Reference Ranges

Reference intervals are population-derived and should be interpreted alongside your symptoms and clinical history — a result within range does not always exclude pathology, and a mildly out-of-range result may be clinically insignificant in isolation.

Reference ranges vary between laboratories and are influenced by age, sex, and other individual factors. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace a clinical consultation. The Vesey reviews every result before it is released to you.
