WHERE IT ALL STARTED

As a doctor within the NHS, navigating the ever-changing currents of healthcare for nearly a decade. Over the years, I've witnessed both the triumphs and tribulations that come with caring for patients within our system. However, it was a personal journey that truly opened my eyes to the potential need for change. 

In 2018, my father's battle with a brain tumour shook the foundation of our family. Despite numerous surgeries and the best care offered at the time, the tumour persisted, leaving him weakened with each procedure.

This experience, coupled with the strains of everyday life in healthcare, led me to reflect deeply on the shortcomings of our current system and how we deserve much better from the advancements in technology and healthcare out there.

I couldn't help but ask myself what I would give to be able to look into the future and predict my risk of chronic disease. That would definitely be a game changer.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst for this introspection, prompting me to search for alternative approaches to healthcare. It was during this period of reflection that I stumbled upon the concept of personalised wellness and longevity medicine. A path that offered hope amidst the challenges of a reactive healthcare system and focus on wellness and longevity. That is when I decided to start GeneGPS as a means to provide a stepping stone into the world of precision medicine.

I wanted to make available to everyone the tools to understand their health and in turn promote wellness. Through genetic mapping, our in-depth blood panels, and evidence-based nutrition and training, we unlock the secrets to a future where wellness and longevity aren't distant dreams but tangible realities.​​

At GeneGPS, precision health solutions begin with our genetic testing kits. Our focus is on empowering individuals, allowing them to take control of their health journey. We know that proactive wellness is key, so we’ve created a range of health, nutrition, fitness, and pharmacogenetic tests for the discerning fitness enthusiast who wants to optimize their health. Our testing kits provide users with personalized insights about their health, helping them make informed decisions about what they eat, how they exercise, and what medications they take.

Our Mission

Our ethos, "Your map to precision health," reflects our commitment to guiding you towards optimal health outcomes through personalized insights derived from your genetic makeup. We believe in moving away from reactive treatments towards proactive prevention and wellness strategies. With our testing kits, you can unlock a deeper understanding of your genetic predispositions and make informed choices to enhance your well-being.

In a landscape where the current NHS is burdened with the overwhelming task of treating illness, expanding operation lists, staffing crisis, organizational short comings, it is often easy to  neglect wellness. As such it becomes everyone's responsibility to prioritize prevention. GeneGPS empowers you to take charge of your health proactively, ensuring that you're equipped with the knowledge and resources to safeguard your well-being.

* Please be aware that GENEGPS genetic tests are not to be used for individuals less that the age of 18, nor if there is a disability not allowing for consent. If it is to be used for the above get in touch with us for specific consent forms. The GeneGPS packages are not appropriate for use in clinical or diagnostic settings. It is important to know that genetics deal with your code but another important factor is epigenetics which acts as a switch that turns your code on and off. Your epigenetics are governed by various modifiable factors such as environment, diet, exposures, etc. We cannot identify spontaneous changes to your genetic code    (mutations) that may or may not be linked with epigenetic/genetic factors. As a result even though a negative test can never guarantee no risk at all from serious medical conditions including cancers, neuro-degenerative conditions, etc, It still offers a risk assessment based on our advanced algorithms and current research applied to your genetic code. Nevertheless, in the event that your physician deems a mutation, DNA predisposition, allergy predisposition, medication alteration, or additional interpretations of the test results to be pertinent, standard procedure is to correlate these clinically and conduct additional investigations as needed. The information in our reports is intended to help the individual better understand their genetic makeup. We do not offer medical advice based on the results of these DNA tests.
