DNA Gut tests and reports on evidence-based, clinically useful, human genetic variants that impact the 5 DNA Gut health pillars; Gut transit time and motility, Presence of pathobionts, Aberrant microbial metabolite production, Compromised gut barrier integrity, Altered immune function. These genetic variants may predispose individuals to altered gut homeostasis and increase risk of gut health disorders. The report offers personalised diet, lifestyle and nutraceutical interventions to support relevant pathways and help to achieve and maintain a healthy and resilient gastrointestinal tract.
The DNA Gut Online Course introduces healthcare practitioners to the genetic variants involved in key biological pathways that impact the 5 pillars of DNA Gut. The course offers insights into how these processes should be supported to reduce risk of gut-related disorders and support overall health. Key genes and related variants, together with targeted interventions, showing sufficient evidence to impact each biological area, are also discussed.
A free DNA Gut test is included in your purchase of the online training.
