The OMICS Era is defined as the science of the effect of genetic variation on health and disease and the role of genomics, proteomics, nutrigenomics, transcriptomics and pharmacogenomics in these areas.
Navigator Biochem works with these tools to unlock the potential encoded in your genes. This information maximises your genetic potential towards a systems level understanding of gene-environment interactions. This helps you define your personalised and functional requirements in everything from pharmacology, lifestyle, dietary, supplementation and exercise.
Our focus on your unique gene expression and protein-structure function empowers you in your day-to-day life.

MY GENETICS
FATS
Genes that impact fat metabolism are also tested, including those for “fats and fitness”, all-round fat metabolism risk, the “moderation” gene, the energy intake modifying gene, the “feed me” gene, as well as genes for eating less meat, response to dieting and suitability to the Mediterranean diet.
HORMONES
CYP1A1, CYP1B1, CYP17A, HSD17B1
Genes tested include those of the steroid hormones that influence folate metabolism and heart health, amino acid processing, as well as inflammation and recovery.
For the amine hormones, genes are tested that impact stress and ovarian cancer, metabolism of external and internal substances (hormones, etc.) and cancer.
BRAIN
DRD1, DRD2, DRD3, DRD4, DRD5, HTR1A, FKBP5, AKT1, OXTR
ADRENAL
BONE
EXERCISE
Genes tested include those that impact the diet, specifically a good response to the Mediterranean diet, as well as “fats and fitness” genes.
INFLAMMATION
IL6, IL1A, IL1B, ILRN
INSULIN
Genes involved in insulin response and resistance are tested, including those that determine risk for folate deficiency and psychological impacts, amino acid processing, vitamin E and inflammatory response, fats and fitness, the “sweet tooth” gene, risk for addiction genes, genes that modulate total sugar intake as well as those that determine total energy intake for weight management. In addition, genes are tested that show if the Mediterranean diet is best for you.
LIVER
PPARG, TCF7L2, MC4R
GUT
FUT2, ANPEP, GDNF
