DNA Gut Test + 1:1 Interpretation
If gut symptoms keep coming back, guessing gets expensive. The DNA Gut package combines a DNA Life gut-focused genetic report with a 1:1 interpretation session, so you understand what your results mean and how to apply them sensibly.
Your report highlights genetic tendencies linked to digestion and gut-related factors, then we’ll go through the findings together, prioritise what matters most, and translate it into clear, practical guidance.

The Science behind Gut + Genes
Your gut health isn’t determined only by what you eat. Genetics can influence how your gut is built, how it interacts with your immune system, and how you process certain foods, which helps explain why the same diet can feel very different from one person to the next.
- Gut barrier function — genes play a role in maintaining the gut lining and barrier resilience. Specific variants may be associated with increased permeability or a more sensitive gut lining.
- Immune response + microbial interaction — genetics can influence immune signalling and how your body responds to microbial changes, helping to explain sensitivity patterns and why symptoms can flare under stress, illness, or dietary shifts.
- Digestion + nutrient handling — variants can affect digestion and tolerance of specific foods (for example, lactose or certain carbohydrates), as well as absorption and processing of key nutrients and byproducts.
This is precisely why the DNA Gut report is helpful — it highlights underlying tendencies so your approach can be more targeted rather than trial-and-error.

Frequently asked questions
Can I purchase a genetic test without booking a consultation?
Yes, you can purchase a test via Food Power Nutrition (which will place the test order for you) without booking a consultation.
If you’d like a personalised nutrition plan based on your genetic test results, please book it at the time of purchase. The cost of the 1-hour session to go through the genetic test results and your personalised recommendations is from £245.
How are the genetic test samples taken?
Samples are collected via blood spot, which means results are far more accurate than those from saliva swabs.
How long does it take to receive test results?
Results for both functional and genetic tests take between 14 and 21 days to be released from the lab.
Is it compulsory to have a discovery call before starting?
It is highly recommended to book the best package and discuss timings. The discovery call is an opportunity to understand whether I can genuinely help and for you to ask all the questions you might have before we start working together.
Instead of a call, we can also communicate via email if it is your preferred method.
The only immediate service that doesn’t require an initial discovery call is the purchase of a genetic test.
What genetic tests does Food Power Nutrition offer?
Food Power Nutrition offers three genetic tests: DNA Core, DNA Gut and DNA Diet.
DNA Core is the most comprehensive test, providing insights on genes involved in our metabolism, digestion, vitamins and macronutrients absorption and utilisation, bone health, gluten and lactose intolerances, as well as responsiveness, including exercise requirements for mobilisation of fat stores, power and endurance potential, cramping and injury risk, and recovery time.
DNA Gut and DNA Diet dive deeper into genes involved in gut health and metabolism balance, and can be matched with testing packages for a deeper understanding of the root cause of your health concerns.
What is genetic testing?
Genetic testing analyses an individual’s DNA to identify predispositions to health conditions, how they may react to specific nutrients, and how nutrients can influence the expression of specific genes.
What is the difference between the DNA Gut and the G360 tests?
The GI360 stool test will provide an accurate picture of what is happening in your gut right now (dysbiosis, infections, parasites), which will help address your current health concerns with a personalised and effective plan.
The DNA Gut Test will evaluate your genetic predisposition to gut health imbalances, helping you understand the best interventions to prevent future gut health symptoms and disease.
Combining the two will provide the ultimate tools to address your current and future gut health.
Which lab do you use for genetic testing?
All the genetic tests provided are from DNA Life, which was established by two independent companies, Nordic Laboratories and DNAlysis Biotechnology, that together have more than 40 years of experience delivering cutting-edge laboratory tests to clinicians across the globe.
As one of the premier genetic testing laboratories, DNAlife offers an innovative approach to personalised medicine through a suite of nutrigenomic and pharmacogenomic tests developed by a team of geneticists.
