MTHFR Gene Mutation pathology
At home test kit - buccal swab (inside your cheek). Once the laboratory receives your sample, it takes 7-10 days to process results. This tiny snippet of DNA plays a surprisingly big role in your overall health - especially when it comes to metabolism, hormones, detoxification, and how your body processes nutrients. In fact, more than 50% of the global population carries at least one MTHFR gene variant - with some people experiencing reduced enzyme function that can impact everything from nutrient absorption to insulin sensitivity. What Is the MTHFR Gene? MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase - a key enzyme your body uses to convert folate (a B vitamin found in foods like spinach, liver, and eggs) into its active form. This process, called methylation, affects almost every system in the body. MTHFR mutations, combined with elevated homocysteine, can impact metabolic health in several ways: Insulin Resistance: Homocysteine interferes with insulin signalling, making it harder for your cells to absorb glucose. Over time, this leads to chronically elevated insulin, weight gain, and inflammation. Hormonal Imbalances: Poor methylation can impair oestrogen clearance via the liver, contributing to PMS, fibroids, endometriosis, and symptoms of perimenopause. Fatty Liver: Inadequate methylation can reduce the liverâs ability to clear fats and toxins, increasing the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Nutrient Deficiency: Impaired folate and B12 metabolism affects DNA replication, red blood cell production, and mitochondrial energy output - leaving you feeling fatigued and foggy. At AstonRX, we believe in understanding your unique biology - not working against it. Your genes arenât your destiny, but they are part of your story. Identifying MTHFR variants and addressing methylation imbalances is a powerful step toward improving energy, metabolic function, mental clarity, and hormonal health. Because when your body can methylate efficiently, everything works better - from how you burn fat to how you feel every day.   [5018]Regular price AUD$159.00Sale price AUD$159.00 Regular priceUnit price per -

Advanced Microbiomix Metagenomic Mapping pathology
The Microbiomix Metagenomic Mapping test utilises metagenomic sequencing (shotgun), a powerful technique for analysing the genetic material of entire microbial communities present in a given stool sample. The term âshotgunâ refers to the random and unbiased sequencing of all the genetic material in the sample, including DNA from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. Covering 28,000+ microbial species, this comprehensive analysis provides a more detailed picture compared to targeted approaches that focus on specific genes or organisms. Since the sequencing is unbiased, it can reveal the presence of previously unknown or unculturable microorganisms to uncover the full diversity of the microbiome. Through a simple stool sample, this panel will provide detailed information on the microbiome, as well as biochemical markers relating to digestion, inflammation, intestinal permeability and more. Disease risk indicators, including predispositions for colon cancer, Crohnâs disease, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, and ulcerative colitis. Common reasons for opting for this pathology: Gastrointestinal and Digestive Health Abdominal pain Bloating, gas and distention Constipation Other Health Conditions Food intolerances IBS/IBD Metabolic disorders Nutritional and Dietary Symptoms Malnutrition/ malabsorption/ maldigestion You may also wish to consider MICROBIOME MAPPING PATHOLOGY Â Â [2212]Regular price AUD$599.00Sale price AUD$599.00 Regular priceUnit price per -
Telomeres: 'Biological Age' | Blood Test
Important note: This test has a three week turn around for results Telomeres are a biomarker of cellular aging, and telomere length is correlated with chronological age and metabolic status. Some studies suggest that nutrition can impact telomere length, and that certain dietary patterns may be associated with longer telomeres. Think of telomeres like the plastic tips on shoelaces that prevent them from fraying. Theyâre the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes (the structures that carry our DNA). Every time a cell divides, telomeres get a little shorter. Once they become too short, the cell can no longer divide and may age or die. Longer telomeres are generally associated with better health and longevity. They can play a role in reducing the risk of age-related diseases, like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. By preserving telomere length through a healthy lifestyle, you might improve your overall well-being and potentially extend your lifespan and healthspan. The timeline for seeing improvements in telomere length after making lifestyle changes can vary significantly among individuals. Here are some key points to consider: Initial Changes: Research has shown that positive lifestyle changes, like improved diet and increased exercise, can lead to changes in telomere length or health markers within a few months. Long-term Effects: More substantial improvements in telomere length may take years. Research indicates that consistent healthy habits over the long term are necessary to have a meaningful impact on telomere maintenance. Testing Frequency: If you're undergoing pathology testing for telomeres, it's often recommended to wait at least six months to a year after making significant lifestyle changes before retesting, as this allows enough time to potentially see changes. Ultimately, individual factors like genetics, overall health, and the extent of lifestyle changes will all influence how quickly you might see improvements. In short, taking care of your telomeres is an integral part of taking care of your health! 1602Regular price AUD$399.00Sale price AUD$399.00 Regular priceUnit price per -
GLP-1 Support Plan
INCLUSIONS: - 28-Day Customised Program (optimal nutrition, professional support, online strength training, education, progress tracking) - Specialised Pathology testing & reporting to identify and address common deficiencies, further tailoring your program protocol -Form & Function assessment (zoom) - to ensure you're optimising your strength training programming to counter the impact of GLP-1 on your muscle & bone density ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GLP-1 medications reduce appetite.We make sure your body still gets what it needs. Protect muscle. Prevent common nutrient deficiencies.Personalised nutrition and supplementation guided by your blood markers. You are eating less. But are you still meeting your bodyâs requirements? GLP-1 medications work by reducing appetite and slowing digestion. Emerging evidence shows: - over 20% of users develop at least one nutritional deficiency within 12 months - vitamin D, iron and B vitamins are among the most common deficiencies - many people are not meeting protein targets needed to preserve muscle What most people are missing: Appetite suppression is not a nutrition plan Without a structured approach, reduced intake can lead to:  - low protein intake - micronutrient deficiencies - educed food diversity - increased fatigue, weakness or poor recovery - loss of lean mass (muscle and bone) A significant portion (~40%) of âweightâ loss on GLP-1 therapies can come from lean mass, not just fat. That affects: - metabolism - strength - long-term weight maintenance The solution: This is where we do things differently We donât guess.We test, structure and personalise.
