DNA testing to take all the guesswork out of your CFS recovery.

DNA testing and interpretation sessions to help you gain clarity on how to uniquely nourish your nervous system and eat for energy.

Are you researching everyday, sifting through endless generic and conflicting advice about CFS nutrition without any idea which is the best approach for you?

Trust me – I’ve been there

You have cupboards full of half used supplements and keep trying different dietary approaches with all the hope in the world that they are going to be the thing that makes the difference but it hasn’t been the answer. You want to stop with the trial and error, understand more about your symptoms and have clarity on how best to move your health forward.

Unpredictable symptoms

You struggle to get through each day with unpredictable fatigue, pain, sleep disturbances, brain fog, anxiety and mood fluctuations which leaves you frustrated and feeling like life is on hold. You crave stability and to be able to make plans and stick to them and would love the energy to get back to enjoying the simple pleasures of day-to-day life again.

Real Results

DNA testing validated my experiences of trying to find what helps me (or not), and now I understand why.

My DNA results showed I experience a more intense physical response to adrenaline. This means my body gets into fight or flight quicker and experiences this state more intensely. It was a relief to understand this not as a mental health issue, or a as a personal failing which is so easy to do, but instead that my body needs support.

DNA testing and analysis have been a game changer .

Jo is gently helping me get some quality of life back! I have been able to more specifically target supplements, diet and lifestyle as a result of DNA testing. Learning that so much of what I was struggling with was a result of genetics was validating, following years of medical tests not offering any insight.

Frequently Asked

A wide variety of genes are tested in each report. You can click the test name for a link to a full list of genes tested with Eat for Energy and Nourish your Nervous System.

When you book you are sent a testing kit to you at home. You rub a swab on the inside of your cheek and seal in a tube. Easy! Full instructions are provided with the test kit.

I have partnered with the testing company I use as they protect your information using the highest industry standards. Your sample is allocated a barcode and all other identification is removed. Each test is processed at an ISO certified UK laboratory and all samples are completely destroyed after 3 months. The client report, the data and the DNA sample is never (and will never be) shared with, or sold to third parties.

Ahead of the interpretation session you will have completed a health questionnaire so I have insight into you main symptoms, goals and what you hope to get out of the session.

We meet on zoom for 1 hour and I talk you through the results report which guides us on the key areas you may need some extra support. I’ll explain the genes and how they relate to your symptoms. Specific nutrients to support individual gene variations will be highlighted throughout.

I appreciate it’s a lot of information to take in so I provide a recording of the session for you to rewatch if you’d like to refer back to it. You also have access to 7 days instant message/ voice note support if you have any questions after the session.

Every gene that we test can be influenced by nutrition and lifestyle, it is all actionable! You will be provided with a written action plan of the key foods for you to include in your diet, supplements that would be a priority for you, and lifestyle practices that would be most supportive.

This is not a test for specific genetic medical conditions and cannot be used to diagnose or as a substitute for personal medical advice. You will never be told you are predisposed or at risk for a medical condition.

The purpose of the test is to empower you with extra knowledge about how your body works and what it uniquely needs. All the genes within the test can be influenced with nutrition and lifestyle.

Absolutely! If you are outside of the UK there will be a small additional delivery charge and you will be responsible for arranging postage to return the test kit.
