“It’s amazing how something as easy as a swab taken from the inside of your mouth, can give so much information. It’s a unique window into how your body works. I have been able to make some positive changes to my life knowing that what I am doing is the best for my health.”       – Donna Ramlose Rotorua

“Doing the gene tests has literally changed my life and my health. I decided to do both genetic profiles to give me as much information as possible. Knowing my own genetic strengths and weaknesses is so empowering. I now know what kinds of things I need to do to be the healthiest I can be. The reports gave me info on foods, exercise and also what supplements would benefit me. I can target my exercise training more effectively and not waste money on vitamins I don’t need, but focus on what would benefit me the most. I thoroughly recommend both gene profiles.”        – Brooke Houghton Wellington
