Genetics in Context
Insight in Context — Not in Isolation
Genetic testing can offer meaningful insight into how your body is designed to function. However, genes are not your destiny.
Many people carry genetic variations that never lead to illness or symptoms in everyday life. This is because gene expression is strongly influenced by:
diet
lifestyle
stress levels
environment
targeted nutritional support
In practical terms, genes can be switched on or off depending on how the body is supported.
Why Genetics Must Be Interpreted Alongside Blood Tests and HTMA
Looking at genetic results alone can be misleading. A genetic variation may suggest a potential weakness, yet:
your blood chemistry may show the pathway is functioning well
your HTMA mineral pattern may indicate stability and balance
your current health state may show no active concern
For this reason, at Naturopath Solutions, genetic testing is never used in isolation. Instead, we integrate three essential perspectives:
Blood analysis → what is happening in your body right now
HTMA mineral analysis → long-term metabolic and stress patterns
Genetic insights → underlying tendencies and potential vulnerabilities
This combined approach allows us to focus on true priority issues, rather than becoming concerned about every homozygous SNP that may never express clinically.
What Genetic Testing Can Help Explain
When interpreted in the right clinical context, genetics may help clarify why you:
respond differently to certain nutrients or supplements
experience ongoing fatigue, mood imbalance, or stress sensitivity
have difficulty with detoxification or inflammation
feel that standard approaches have not worked for you
Importantly, genetics does not diagnose disease. Instead, it helps guide more precise and supportive care.
A Practical, Grounded Approach to Personalised Treatment
At Naturopath Solutions, the goal is not to treat genes. The goal is to support your real, current physiology.
By combining functional testing with genetic insight, we can:
identify what genuinely requires attention
avoid unnecessary or excessive supplementation
create a calm, prioritised treatment plan
support the body in ways that may positively influence gene expression
This ensures your care remains practical, individualised, and clinically meaningful — never theoretical or overwhelming.
Who May Benefit From Integrated Genetic Insight
Genetic interpretation may be particularly helpful for people who:
have long-standing or complex health concerns
feel they have “tried everything” without lasting improvement
experience sensitivity to supplements or medications
want a deeper understanding of their body’s unique needs
Because genetics is interpreted alongside bloods and HTMA, the focus always remains on what matters most for your health now.
Genetics provides part of the picture.
Functional testing reveals the rest.
Together, they guide a clear, balanced, and clinically grounded path toward better health.
