An introduction to Nutrigenomics
Nutrigenomics is the study of the interaction between nutrition and genetics. Through detailed analysis of an individual’s genetic profile, nutrigenomic testing identifies how specific genetic variants affect responses to different foods, nutrients, and dietary patterns. This can reveal a wide range of predispositions, including sensitivity to lactose or gluten, ability to metabolize caffeine or alcohol, efficiency in processing vitamins and minerals, and genetic tendencies related to weight, cholesterol, and blood sugar regulation.
With this information, Preventis.ai can move beyond generic dietary advice to provide highly individualized nutrition recommendations. Customers receive clear, practical guidance tailored to their unique genetic makeup, helping them make informed decisions about what to eat, what to avoid, and how to structure their diet for optimal health and performance.
The real value of this approach lies in integration with professional medical oversight. Preventis.ai’s customers are supported throughout their journey by qualified GPs who interpret genetic findings in the context of overall health, medical history, and personal goals. This ensures that all recommendations are safe, relevant, and actionable. The GPs also provide ongoing lifestyle coaching, helping clients set realistic goals, monitor progress, and adapt their plans as needs change. This dynamic and supportive model fosters accountability and enables long-term success.
For the general public, this approach has wide-reaching benefits. Personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance can help prevent or manage chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. It can also enhance energy, mood, and overall quality of life. By understanding their own genetic strengths and vulnerabilities, individuals can take proactive steps to reduce risk and maximize well-being.
Ultimately, Preventis.ai’s expansion into nutrigenomics and Nutritional Therapists marks a major step forward in preventive healthcare. By uniting cutting-edge science with compassionate clinical support, Preventis.ai is making it possible for everyone to unlock the power of their own DNA, paving the way for healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Nutrient Core Report
We recommend the Nutrient Core test for your first Nutrigenomics test. It decodes your unique genetic blueprint to reveal how key DNA variants shape everyday health, from how efficiently your body metabolises nutrients to how it manages inflammation and stress. By pinpointing personal food intolerances, blood sugar vulnerabilities, and detoxification limits, it eliminates trial-and-error dietary guesswork. This provides actionable clarity on your nutritional needs, metabolic drivers, and immune resilience, empowering targeted lifestyle adjustments and highlighting precisely which biological pathways warrant deeper investigation. It couldn't be easier to get your report:
- You place your Nutrient Core Report Order
- We ship it to your home.
- A simple swab of the cheeks is all you need.
- You post it back to us.
- One of our specialists calls you once the report is ready to discuss the findings.

This test analyses how specific gene variants influence food tolerance and intolerance, appetite regulation, blood sugar balance, nutritional requirements, detoxification capacity, and susceptibility to inflammation and infection.
The Nutrient Core profile provides insight into fundamental genetic interactions with diet and lifestyle, identifying whether particular biological pathways require further targeted testing. It evaluates genes demonstrated to affect:
- Food response: Gluten sensitivity, coeliac risk, and lactose intolerance
- Caffeine: Processing efficiency, metabolism rate, and physiological sensitivity
- Microbiome: Gut bacterial diversity and mucosal integrity
- Vitamin requirements: Utilization and absorption of vitamins A, B9 (folate), B12 (cobalamin), C, D, and K
- Blood pressure: Sodium-potassium balance and salt-sensitive hypertension
- Detoxification: Glutathione production and cellular clearance
- Metabolism: Glycaemic control, insulin signalling, and leptin-driven appetite regulation
- Inflammation: Pathogen-triggered infection response and systemic inflammatory tone
- Circadian rhythm: Sleep-wake cycles and chronotype predisposition
Genes Included
- Food Response: HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, and LCT
- Caffeine: CYP1A2 and ADORA2A
- Microbiome: FUT2
- Vitamins: BCO1, MTHFR, FUT2, TCN2, SLC23A1, COL1A1, GC, VDR, and VKORC1
- Blood Pressure: ACE and AGT
- Detoxification: GSTM1
- Metabolism: FADS1/2, FTO, TCF7L2, PGC1A, and LEPR
- Inflammation: TNF and IFNG
- Circadian Rhythm: CLOCK and PER1
