Determine your unique genetic make-up with a personalised genetic profile called Fitgenes Health and Wellbeing Panel followed by a 12 week treatment plan to address your healthcare needs.
The treatment plan focuses solely on improving your health, nutrition and fitness through the use of targeted proactive health interventions.
Any advice or suggested interventions recommended relate specifically to enhancing your personal health and wellbeing, and not for the identification of any disease and/or prescribing any medically-based interventions or procedures.
If you have any pre-existing medical conditions please inform your Lifestyle Medicine practitioner/Fitgenes practitioner prior to the commencement of any Proactive Health Program.

The information made available in your Fitgenes Genetic Profile is designed to empower you towards making more informed decisions regarding your lifestyle, health, nutrition, and fitness.
Fitgenes test focuses on genes that we can modify - genes that enhance health and function we want to "turn up", e.g. antioxidant genes that produce our beneficial antioxidant enzymes and genes that negatively impact on our health and function that we want to "turn down", e.g. inflammatory genes that produce inflammatory cytokines that cause damage.
After receiving the test results and coupled with your functional pathology tests, your Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner interprets the results and prepares a personalised interventions treatment plan that includes lifestyle recommendations, nutritional advice, exercise recommendations and supplementation to achieve your desired health goals.
Please note that the genetic test cost is payable directly to the Fitgenes laboratory for performing your DNA analysis. Also please note that the results interpretation consultation and treatment plan consultations will be charged separately at our standard rates.
