Cheek Swap Test Kit

Understanding how your body ages at a biological level can provide powerful insights into long-term health.

The Longevity Genetic Panel analyses key genetic variants associated with healthy ageing, cellular resilience and longevity pathways. By identifying specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), this test helps uncover how your body may respond to oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, DNA repair processes and methylation.

These insights allow for more personalised strategies around nutrition, supplementation, exercise and lifestyle interventions that support long-term health and resilience.

This test is completed using a simple at-home cheek swab and provides clinically relevant genetic insights that can guide preventative health strategies.

These genes are strongly associated with lifespan and age-related disease risk.

• FOXO3 – linked to cellular stress resistance and longevity pathways
• APOE – influences lipid metabolism, cardiovascular health and cognitive ageing

Broader healthy ageing pathways

The panel also assesses approximately 18 genes across 22 SNPs, examining pathways involved in:

• Methylation (including genes such as MTHFR)
• Oxidative stress defence (including SOD2)
• DNA repair mechanisms
• Lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health
• Cellular detoxification and resilience

These markers help build a broader picture of how your body may handle inflammation, metabolic stress and cellular ageing.
This panel provides insight into genetic predispositions related to:

• Longevity and healthy ageing potential
• Oxidative stress resilience
• Lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk patterns
• DNA damage and repair capacity
• Methylation efficiency
• Cellular detoxification pathways
• Microbiome-related metabolic interactions

Understanding these patterns can help guide preventative health strategies aimed at supporting long-term metabolic, neurological and cardiovascular health.
This test may be beneficial for individuals who want deeper insight into how their genetics may influence long-term health and ageing.

It may be particularly useful for people who:

• Want to take a preventative and personalised approach to their health
• Are interested in optimising longevity and healthy ageing
• Have a family history of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, or metabolic conditions
• Want to better understand their methylation pathways and oxidative stress resilience
• Are looking to personalise nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle strategies
• Are interested in precision health based on their unique genetic profile

Rather than guessing which interventions may work best, genetic insights can help guide more personalised and targeted strategies.
Once your results are available, you will be required to book a results consultation where we review your genetic report together.

During this session, your results are interpreted within a clinical context to translate your genetic data into practical and personalised health strategies. This ensures the information is meaningful, accurate and applied appropriately to your individual health goals.

Your results consultation may include discussion around:

• Nutritional strategies that support key longevity pathways
• Targeted supplementation based on genetic vulnerabilities
• Lifestyle approaches to support cellular resilience and metabolic health
• Strategies to support methylation, oxidative stress defence and lipid metabolism
• Long-term preventative health planning

Genetics are not destiny, but they can provide valuable insight into how your body may respond to different environmental and lifestyle factors.

By understanding these genetic patterns, we can develop a personalised strategy aimed at supporting long-term health, resilience and healthy ageing.
No special preparation is required for this test.

To ensure optimal DNA sample quality, please follow these guidelines before collecting your sample:

• Avoid eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing gum for at least 30 minutes before sample collection
• Collect your cheek (buccal) swab sample using the kit provided and follow the instructions included in the package
• Ensure the sample is stored and packaged according to the instructions provided
• Return the sample promptly after collection to help maintain DNA integrity

There is no need to discontinue any medications or supplements prior to collecting your sample.

Once the laboratory receives your sample, it will be analysed and your results will be returned for interpretation during your results consultation.
Your results report identifies specific genetic variants (SNPs) linked to key biological pathways involved in healthy ageing and cellular resilience.

The report typically highlights:

• Longevity-associated genes – such as FOXO3 and APOE, which influence cellular stress resistance, lipid metabolism and long-term health outcomes
• Methylation-related genes – including variants such as MTHFR, which may influence how efficiently your body processes nutrients involved in methylation pathways
• Oxidative stress defence genes – including markers such as SOD2, which play a role in protecting cells from oxidative damage
• Additional ageing-related pathways – including DNA repair, detoxification processes and metabolic regulation

These results do not diagnose disease but instead provide insight into genetic predispositions that may influence how your body responds to environmental and lifestyle factors.

Understanding these patterns allows personalised strategies to be developed around nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle interventions and preventative health planning to support healthy ageing and long-term resilience
Many people take supplements without truly understanding what their body needs. While some nutrients can be helpful, taking supplements without proper assessment may mean addressing the wrong problem or missing important underlying factors.

Functional testing allows us to move beyond guesswork and instead use objective data to guide personalised health strategies.

Testing can help identify:

• Nutrient deficiencies or imbalances
• Environmental exposures that may impact health
• Microbial imbalances within the gut
• Genetic variations that influence metabolism and cellular processes
• Biological patterns that may be contributing to symptoms

Rather than taking a generalised approach, testing provides information that allows recommendations to be tailored to your individual physiology.

This helps ensure that nutritional strategies, supplementation and lifestyle interventions are targeted, appropriate and aligned with your specific health needs.

For this reason, all testing offered through the clinic is reviewed within a clinical consultation, where results are interpreted and translated into practical, personalised recommendations.
Functional health testing can provide valuable insights into how the body is functioning. However, interpreting these results correctly requires clinical context.

Laboratory reports often present large amounts of technical data, and results may fall within reference ranges while still indicating patterns that are relevant to your health.

Working with a practitioner ensures that your results are reviewed in relation to your:

• Symptoms and health history
• Current diet and lifestyle factors
• Medication or supplement use
• Environmental exposures
• Overall health goals

Rather than looking at individual markers in isolation, a practitioner assesses patterns across multiple systems to better understand what may be influencing your health.

During your results consultation, findings from your test are translated into clear and practical recommendations, which may include targeted nutrition strategies, lifestyle adjustments and appropriate supplementation where required.

This personalised approach helps ensure that testing leads to meaningful, actionable changes that support long-term health outcomes.
