Nutrigenomic Testing
Personalised Health at the Genetic Level
At Sunshine Coast Holistic Healthcare, we offer clinical nutrigenomic testing to provide a highly personalised approach to health and nutrition. By analysing your genetic blueprint, we can uncover how your body processes nutrients, detoxifies chemicals, regulates inflammation, and responds to dietary and lifestyle interventions. This data-driven insight allows us to create targeted, effective health strategies designed specifically for your genetic makeup.
​
As a certified clinical nutrigenomic practitioner, Dr. Luke Iggulden, ND applies advanced genetic insights to provide tailored nutritional and lifestyle recommendations that go beyond standard health guidelines. This ensures you receive the most precise, evidence-based interventions for optimal wellness and disease prevention.
What is Nutrigenomic Testing?
Nutrigenomics is the study of how your genes interact with nutrients and other environmental factors. Unlike traditional nutritional approaches, which apply general dietary recommendations to the population as a whole, nutrigenomics allows for precision nutrition by identifying individual genetic variations that influence:
​
-
Nutrient absorption & metabolism – How efficiently your body processes vitamins and minerals.
​
-
Detoxification pathways – Your ability to neutralise toxins and oxidative stress.
​
-
Inflammatory responses – Genetic predispositions to chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation.
​
-
Methylation & neurotransmitter balance – The efficiency of key biochemical pathways affecting mental health, energy, and cognitive function.
​
-
Metabolic health & weight management – How your genes influence fat metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and appetite regulation.
​
By identifying these genetic markers, we can provide targeted recommendations for nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes that align with your unique genetic profile.
Why is Nutrigenomic Testing Important?
1. Personalised Nutrition & Supplementation
Genetic variations can significantly impact your nutrient needs. Standard dietary guidelines may not be suitable for everyone, and generic supplementation can lead to inefficiencies or even adverse effects.
With nutrigenomic testing, we can determine the precise nutrients your body requires, ensuring you receive only what you need in the most bioavailable form.
2. Optimised Detoxification & Inflammation Control
Some individuals detoxify toxins and environmental chemicals less efficiently, leading to a buildup of harmful substances in the body.
​
Others have heightened inflammatory responses, increasing their risk of chronic disease.
Understanding your detoxification capacity and inflammatory tendencies allows us to implement targeted interventions to support liver function and reduce inflammation.
3. Methylation & Mental Health Support
Methylation is a critical biochemical process that affects neurotransmitter production, DNA repair, and cardiovascular health.
Genetic variants such as MTHFR, COMT, and DAO can impact mood regulation, energy levels, and cognitive function.
By addressing these variations with the right diet, supplements, and lifestyle modifications, we can enhance mental clarity, emotional stability, and overall well-being.
4. Weight Management & Metabolic Health
Genetics play a key role in how your body stores fat, processes carbohydrates, and regulates appetite. If you’ve struggled with weight management despite following traditional dietary advice, nutrigenomic testing can reveal the most effective macronutrient ratios and lifestyle modifications to support long-term metabolic health.
