Unlock Optimal Health with Nutrigenomics Testing in Sussex and Surrey and get personalised Nutrition Support for Reduced Cancer Recurrence Risk.
Are you seeking naturopathic medicine and nutrition support rooted in science, especially for breast cancer, other hormone cancers such as prostate, endometrial, ovarian, or for colorectal cancer prevention, or are you looking for nutrition support for reduced cancer recurrence risk? In Sussex and Surrey, and beyond, our nutrigenomics reports (types of genetic tests), combined with our health reset plans deliver powerful preventative medicine insights, going well beyond basic genetic testing.
In this blog, Natalie, Sussex and Surrey based fully qualified and insured naturopathic nutritional therapist and functional medicine test expert discusses the benefits and power of nutrigenomics testing especially when used as a preventative medicine tool against cancer, combined with nutrition support for reduced cancer recurrence risk, for optimising overall health outcomes, and for taking a preventative approach against chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease and auto-immune conditions.
What Is Nutrigenomics Testing?
Nutrigenomics analyses single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), these are tiny variations in your DNA processing, and they reveal how your body handles nutrients, hormones, inflammation, neurotransmitters (involved in mood and motivation) detoxification and more. Each test provides actionable insights, allowing your naturopathic nutrition plan to be precisely tailored to your specific genetic profile, diet, and lifestyle.
The Power of Each of our Nutrigenomics Reports especially for personalising Nutrition support for reduced cancer recurrence risk:
The Hormone Report
The hormone report analyses 45+ genes that influence hormone creation, metabolism (how your body processes hormones), and elimination. This report is particularly beneficial for:
- Breast cancer prevention and recurrence risk: Understand how your genetics impact oestrogen metabolism and clearance, which is key to reduced cancer recurrence risk in hormone dependent cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer.
- Perimenopause & PMS: Pinpoint the reason you may experience severe symptoms and support hormone balance with personalised nutrition to reduce symptoms such as mood regulation, pain, night sweats, hot flushes, aches and pain, and more.
- Hormone Dependent conditions: such as endometriosis, fibroids and more; learn how your body handles hormones so we can personalise your nutrition needs and support regulation and hormone balance for optimised results.
If we understand from your hormone report that you are predisposed to a certain hormone imbalance, then we can specifically target your nutrient needs to offset the genetic variation and optimise your health outcomes for better mood management, reduced cancer risk and improved quality of life during your perimenopause transition for example.
The Endocrine (Thyroid) Report
The endocrine report examines 40+ genes linked to thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolism, and can be useful for supporting:
- Thyroid prevention & management: Ideal if you’re managing low energy, suspect thyroid dysfunction, are struggling with weight management, or you have a thyroid condition in your family such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s or Graves.
- Colorectal cancer & prostate cancer: A well functioning thyroid is critical in managing overall metabolism and reducing cancer risk, this is because the thyroid is like the gear stick to your immune function. For example, if your thyroid is sluggish then your immune system may not operate at an optimal level.
If we know you have certain variations on the genes involved in thyroid function, then we know how to target and personalise your nutrition and lifestyle needs to optimise your health. Remember the analogy, the thyroid is like the gear stick; imagine trying to drive up hill in 5th gear or pull away in 4th gear, or driving down the motorway at 80 mile per hour in 1st gear; the car just won’t perform at an optimum level. The endocrine report enables us to ensure your thyroid is fully supported and can drive all the other processes in the body so they too perform at their best!
The Detoxification & Methylation Report
Our detoxification and methylation report evaluates all the genes involved in methylation, and detoxification, and is especially useful to support:
- Oestrogen dominant conditions such as endometriosis, breast, ovarian and prostate cancer: Discover how well you eliminate toxins and hormones, which is crucial for breast cancer, general hormone cancer prevention and in utilising nutrition support for reduced cancer recurrence risk.
- General cancer support: Methylation is key in DNA repair and detoxification, and especially important for prostate cancer and colorectal cancer protection.
By understanding how well you methylate; aka how well you synthesise new cells, how you detoxify each of those cells and how well your body undergoes repair of damaged cells we can understand if you need nutrition support in specific areas. Providing nutrition support, is more than support for eating a balanced healthy diet, it’s about targeted nutritional interventions using certain vitamins, minerals, nutraceuticals, orthomolecular compounds and more, which are specifically targeted for an individuals needs. For example, we will look at how well you handle pesticides and xenoestrogen’s for example, whether you have fast phase 1 and a slow phase 2 detoxification, whether your body is able to convert to active forms of folate and B12 by assessing genes such as the MTHFR gene for example. Armed with your results, we can utilise nutritional interventions to slow or speed up certain detoxification pathways as necessary, choose to supplement you with vitamins that are already converted to their active forms, or enhance certain methylation pathways with key nutrients and compounds to optimise your health outcomes.
The Nervous System Report
Our nervous system report assesses genes governing neurotransmitter metabolism and nervous system balance. This report looks at serotonin, dopamine, GABA and glutamate to name just a few. These are key neurotransmitters involved in mood regulation, motivation, relaxation, sleep, and also play a role in depression, anxiety, Parkinson’s disease, and ADHD. This report can be especially beneficial for:
- Mood disorders: helping us to determine personalised needs and specific nutrition support for anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, or even supporting mood related issues in perimenopause, PMS, PMDD and teenage adolescence.
- Stress Management: this report can also help us determine if you struggle with stress at a genetic level, and thus whether you need to pay more specific attention than others to stress management and calming techniques.
- Cancer and Auto-Immune Disease Prevention: anxiety, fear, depression and stress can all play a role in cancer because they can cause nervous system imbalance, which in turn can drive stress and cortisol levels, which can then increase inflammation, which of is one of the drivers behind cancer and auto-immune disease. If we know from your nervous system report that you are predisposed to poor stress management, then we can support you to reduce stress and utilise nutraceuticals for optimised stress management and reduced cancer recurrence risk.
