Find out your genetic athletic profile with this simple cheek swab test. Your DNA athletic profile reflects how your body is genetically wired to perform, recover, and adapt across key systems that drive physical and mental performance. This includes your capacity for power, strength, and endurance, as well as how efficiently you store and use energy, absorb nutrients, manage inflammation, and respond to hormonal shifts. Genetic variations may influence your injury risk, mental focus, and ability to recover between sessions, meaning your results can improve dramatically when training, nutrition, and recovery are aligned to your unique biology.Unlike other generic DNA tests on the market, Our DNA Sports & Performance Check is performed by an accredited laboratory and results are analysed by our local team of molecular biologists, data scientists and clinicians to deliver your personalised report.

What's included
Male Hormone Panel
This hormone blood test measures levels of the key hormones and androgens that play an important role in governing masculinity and fertility. Please contact us if you need a sensitive oestradiol assay performed.
This male hormone test measures:
Adrenal Function
Cortisol and DHEA-S play important roles in regulating physiological processes in the body. Cortisol has a catabolic effect which mobilises the body’s nutritional resources for fuel. DHEA-S has an opposing anabolic effect and converts food into living tissue. In order to achieve your fitness goals cortisol and DHEA-S must be in proper balance.
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)
IGF-1 is involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including bone growth, muscle growth and repair, and the development of the nervous system. It also helps regulate metabolism, including glucose metabolism and fat metabolism.
This IGF-1 test measures:
B Vitamins & Methylation
Vitamin B12 and folate are essential for healthy methylation, a process your body uses for detoxification, energy, and gene regulation. Low B12 can lead to a buildup of homocysteine, which may affect heart, brain, and overall cellular health.
Bone Health
Calcium and vitamin D play a critical role in maintaining bone health. When you don’t get enough calcium, you increase your risk of developing osteoporosis and stress fractures. This blood test measures both your total calcium and corrected calcium levels, as well your 25-OHD vitamin D levels.
This blood test measures:
Inflammation
The link between low-grade inflammation and chronic disease is widely recognised. Research indicates that following an anti-inflammatory diet may help fight off inflammation.
This blood test measures:
Metabolic Markers
Insulin resistance can lead to difficulty losing weight, distinct abdominal fat, fatigue, bloating and sugar cravings. Identifying insulin resistance early and committing to lifestyle changes can ultimately help the progression to diabetes.
Thyroid Function
Your thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate growth and energy expenditure. Thyroid disorders are quite common, and many people don’t have any symptoms at all. This thyroid test screens for the thyroid hormones that play a key role in regulating the body’s metabolism.
This thyroid test measures:
Cholesterol
Lipids and cholesterol are fat-like substances in your blood. Some are necessary for good health, but when you have a high level of cholesterol in your blood, a lot of it ends up being deposited in the walls of your arteries and other vital organs. Lifestyle choices including diet, exercise and alcohol intake can all influence cholesterol levels and your risk of developing heart disease.
This cholesterol test measures:
Iron Studies
This simple iron test measures how much iron you have in your blood, as well as the amount of iron you have stored in your body. This iron test can be used to diagnose anaemia or monitor an existing iron deficiency. This iron test can also be used to investigate iron overload syndrome (haemochromatosis) which is an inherited condition where your body cannot remove excess iron.
This iron test measures:
Trace Minerals
Like vitamins, minerals are substances found in food that your body needs for growth and health. There are two kinds of minerals - macrominerals and trace minerals. Your body needs just small amounts of trace minerals which include iron, copper, zinc and selenium.
This nutrition blood test measures:
Full blood count with differential
The full blood count is used as a broad screening test to check for such disorders as anaemia (decrease in red blood cells or haemoglobin), infection, and many other diseases. It is actually a group of tests that examine different parts of the blood. Results from the following tests provide the broadest picture of your health.
The full blood count measures:
Kidney Function
Your kidneys filter waste from your body and regulate salts in your blood. They also produce hormones and vitamins that direct cell activities in many organs and help to control blood pressure. When the kidneys aren't working properly, waste products and fluid can build up to dangerous levels creating a life-threatening situation.
This kidney function test measures:
Liver Function (LFTs)
Your liver processes drugs and alcohol, filters toxic chemicals, stores vitamins and minerals, and makes bile, proteins and enzymes. This liver function test examines enzymes and other markers for evidence of damage to your liver cells or a blockage near your liver which can impair its function.
This liver function test measures:
Pancreatic Function
Proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are broken down by stomach acids, enzymes produced by the pancreas, and bile from the liver. This process also releases micronutrients. This blood test measures the levels of enzymes produced by the pancreas.
This blood test measures:
Test instructions
Your test kit and all instructions are posted directly to you, and there is no need to visit a collection centre.
Mail your sample(s) back to the lab using the prepaid envelope and packaging provided.
Results for this test typically available in 2 weeks and will be published in your online dashboard.
This test is designed as a follow up to the Genetic Methylation Check. The Methylation Pathways Check analyses key metabolic markers to reveal how your body manages nutrients, energy, and detoxification. Paired with the Genetic Methylation Check, this test provides a comprehensive view of your current metabolic health.
The importance of homocysteine as a marker for health and wellbeing has recently become evident with elevated levels now recognised as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s.
This test covers an extensive 111 genes, and 129 SNP’s across various health categories including Digestion, Energy, Hormones, Stress & Cognitive Performance, Inflammation & Longevity, Athletic Performance, DNA Protection & Repair (methylation), and Detoxification. This test is performed by a NATA accredited laboratory in Australia.
Find out your genetic methylation profile with this simple cheek swab test. Your methylation profile reveals how your body manages critical functions like detoxification, hormone balance, and energy production.
After receiving the results of your Genetic Methylation Check or DNA Comprehensive Wellness Report, you may want to consider a nutritional assessment of your results by a dietician.
The Platinum Check is our most comprehensive panel of tests which provides deep insights into your cardiovascular, nutritional, hormonal and gut health. We've combined this panel with the DNA Comprehensive Check and Complete Microbiome Mapping for extensive genetic based insights into your overall health and wellbeing.
