Nutrigenomics
is a subset of genomics that focuses on the genes that relate and respond to nutrition and lifestyle interventions, with the aim of achieving optimal health.
By doing a simple, non-evasive cheek swab you can discover your DNA blueprint and learn how well your genes are matched to your present diet and lifestyle, as well as how you can unlock the full potential of your current and future health and wellness.
A DNA test provides valuable insights to support a preventative and proactive approach to your health and well-being.
Most people understand our genes support our uniqueness – they influence everything from the colour of our eyes and our height to the predisposition of chronic disease.
However, science now confirms whilst your genetic code is fixed, your gene expression (activity) can be adjusted – increased or decreased by our environment and lifestyle choices such as nutrition, exercise, sleep and psychosocial factors.
So, in other words, your genes may load the ‘gun’, but it is your diet, lifestyle, stress and other environmental exposures that pull the ‘trigger’ that causes disease and premature ageing.
Synchronising our unique DNA blueprint with our diet and lifestyle is the key to the exciting new realm of personalised wellness medicine.

ABOUT ME
Sally Calder
Registered Nutritionist, Nutrigenomics Practitioner and Educator
My approach
We are all unique, and respond very differently to foods, the environment we are in, lifestyle choices and exercise. The very reason a one size fit’s all approach doesn’t work.
Working with LifecodeGXx and their cutting-edge genomics science I can offer professional, ethical DNA testing and analysis. Their specialist nutrigenomics DNA test panels* inform how inherited health risks can be mitigated through personalised nutrition and changes in lifestyle. Occasionally, for more complex cases I use a range of in-depth diagnostic functional tests, this helps to identify the root causes of illness or dysfunction and ultimately enables a totally personalised, preventative and proactive approach to your health.
My goal
My goal is to empower you to take charge of your health. I aim to help you gain greater control and confidence over the decisions and actions that affect your wellbeing.
A Nutrient Core DNA test
A Nutrient Core DNA test essentially gives you state of the art insight into how your body responds to the foods you eat including gluten, lactose, caffeine, and microbiome diversity. Your personal nutrient core report includes vitamin needs and further information about your metabolism. It’s yours to keep as a valuable reference guide for life. It will help remove the guesswork when deciding what foods and lifestyle factors best support your body and wellness goals.
Every aspect of your report is actionable, never any bad news. You’re never too old (or too young) to discover such positive and enabling information and learn what you can do to take a personal, preventative, and proactive approach to your health and wellbeing.

Testimonials
“To be able to know how my body works with foods and what it needs according to my DNA is revolutionary.
As a professional sportsman this knowledge is paramount to get the best out of myself.
Sally’s knowledge and passion is spot on! My extensive report is full of great ideas and even includes a shopping list to ensure I don’t forget anything!”

“While I’m relatively fit and active and make good dietary choices for the most part, I knew bad habits had crept into my eating. It’s too easy to overindulge in the favourites.
I had a few aches and pains particularly in my ankle joints and feet, and brain fog in the mornings. I loved the programme Sally recommended, the menu and food choices varied and were remarkably tasty, with ideas I plan to continue. I sensed initially a much clearer head in just a few days and further into the programme it was evident my aches and pains in my joints had gone, and while not the objective, I lost a few pounds in weight, an added bonus! I feel totally healthier and very happy with my results.”
Philip K
“I contacted Sally as I had not been feeling well after living in India for a couple of years. I found the whole process efficient, informative and surprising as it really explained aspects of my health including that I am a natural insomniac! The nutritional advice and suggestions were really helpful. I feel so much better now and sleeping better too.”
K. Ross
“Through lockdown I got totally out of routine, my eating and sleeping patterns suffered and as a result, gained nearly a stone in weight. I struggled with constantly waking up feeling tired with little energy or motivation. Sally’s knowledge, guidance and clear explanations helped me understand where I was going wrong and soon got me back on track! Not only have I lost weight, but I’ve noticed my skin is much clearer and it’s great to feel the spring back in my step again. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending Sally to anyone who knows they need to take back control of their health. ”
Linda B
“… and I never thought I’d ever come off painkillers for the chronic arthritic pain in my wrists through changing my diet, truly lifechanging.”
Mary S
“I saw Sally after she came highly recommended. I have quite complex needs, including digestive problems and chronic illness. Sally was very professional and extremely passionate about her work. Nutrigenomics was a revelation to me. Through genetic testing and Sally’s expertise she has been able to pinpoint my issues and set me on a protocol of Taylor-made nutrition and supplementation plan. Although it’s early days, I feel my symptoms are declining and my energy levels have increased. The improvements are not only physical but mental too, I am so excited to see how I progress…”
