MenoHealth Metabolic & Longevity Nutrigenomics Package

As women enter perimenopause our metabolism experiences a noticeable deceleration. This does not only pertain to weight, but impacts the ability of our mitochondria to generate energy to fuel all cells; be that a brain cell, a muscle cell, a thyroid gland cell or a gut cell, all cellular metabolism is reduced. In some large part as a direct result to changes in oestrogen and progesterone levels, but, not all.  This energy deficit in conjunction with hormone fluctuations can often result in weight gain, brain fog, hot flushes, mood changes and insomnia. But, there are factors other than oestrogen and progesterone, termed metabolic regulators  and ‘longevity genes’ which play equally as important roles that we can now assess and importantly modulate through targeted diet & lifestyle interventions. Lifecode Gx newest Metabolics report provides an understanding of how your genes impact your metabolism & health span thereby helping to create a bespoke plan to support your metabolic and lifespan health.

Includes the following:

• Lifecode Gx DNA test kit

• Lifecode Gx Hormones + Histamine Reports -  analyses the genes and personalised SNPs involved in the regulation, synthesis, signalling, transport and removal of stress hormones (cortisol  & adrenaline), Histamine (really insightful when taking HRT), insulin, melatonin and sex hormones (oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone & DHEA). It looks at how your gene variants and vulnerabilities affect all these hormones and details the nutrients and environmental factors that can influence and improve their balance. 

• Lifecode Gx Methylation Report: Arguably the most biochemical process in the human body, playing a significant role in hormonal cycles The methylation process involves the creation of a methyl donor, that then changes a molecule for better use i.e securing DNA, or its removal The process of methylation is subject to many SNP’s - understanding how your methylation process runs, will provide vital information your health jigsaw puzzle! 

• Lifecode Gx Metabolics Report (‘double’ sized). Metabolism is a biochemical process that allows us to live, grow, reproduce, heal, and adapt to our environment. This report describes how you are genetically predisposed across 6 areas of metabolism:

1. Appetite regulation
2. The  ‘burn ‘ vs ‘grow’  balance of metabolism
3. The efficiency of sugar & fat metabolism
4. Cholesterol metabolism
5. Mitochondrial  health
6. Longevity genes

• 2 x 60 minute virtual appointments - with Tanya to explain your results & answer any questions you may have. This will be booked once Lifecode Gx has received your sample, allowing for a 4 week turnaround time for results to be processed. As this package contains the Metabolics double sized report , the depth of information given is best split across 2 appointments of 60 minutes. This allows time for you to absorb the information form the first appointment and then come back the following week with questions and hear more! 
• Highlights of findings written  summary report - from Tanya with nutritional & lifestyle interventions pertinent to your personal results 

Finer details:

• A sample of cheek cells is collected using the DNA test kit that is dispatched once purchased from which DNA is extracted and analyzed. It takes just 1 minute to collect the sample, place the swab in the test tube with the stabilizing tablet, complete and sign the consent form and place everything in the return packaging provided.
• Once Lifecode Gx has received your sample, we will email you to book in your virtual appointment with Tanya, allowing for a 4 week turnaround time for results to be processed. This 90-minute Zoom call will further explain your results, recommend nutrition and lifestyle interventions and answer any questions you may have.
• Your Highlights of Findings summary is emailed to you within 5 working days following your appointment together with a recording of your session within 5 working days following your virtual appointment.
