Your metabolism is responsible converts food and drinks into energy that your body uses for essential functions. We need a base line of energy, usually measured in calories; to sustain these functions and this can be measured by the basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR can be influenced by many factors such as genes, age, sex, physical activity, muscle mass and smoking. Each individual has a degree of metabolic individuality that will affect this process and their energy regulation, longevity health outcomes.
Metabolism is the chemical processes that takes place, that are essential for life and they are can be broken down in to two different pathways:
Anabolism – utilises energy to make macromolecules, examples include synthesis of sugars, proteins, fats and nucleic acids.
Catabolism – releases energy and breaks things down into simpler molecules, this can be the release of energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
We would expect individuals to have a degree of metabolic flexibility that means they can adapt to the changing environment around them.
Your metabolism is responsible for providing both energy and oxygen to the body. Without this process we would not have the energy for basic bodily functions such as breathing, digesting food, circulating blood, growing and repairing cells, regulating body temperature and managing hormones.
The Genetic Metabolic Test looks at your DNA to find tiny differences called SNPs, which can affect your metabolic rate.
The genetic metabolic report specifically looks at genes that can support metabolic flexibility and target where dysfunction may have arisen. This is broken down into six key pathways:
You will then receive a metabolic report based on the above so that you can see how your body absorbs nutrients and the genetic, nutrient and environmental factors that can influence this that is personalised to your genes.
Metabolic imbalance and dysfunction is common and some common signs, symptoms and health conditions are listed below:
Metabolic Syndrome – this now effects over one billion people and is characterised by obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia.
Obesity
Hypertension
Hyperlipidaemia
Type 2 diabetes
Cardiovascular diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases
Appetite dysregulation
The genetic Metabolic Test assesses genes associated with six sub-cycles:
Appetite Regulation: BDNF, FAAH, FTO, LEPR, MC4R, NPY, POMC
Nutrient Sensing: ADIPOQ, FOXO3, HIF1A, IRS1, PARP1, PGC1A, PPARA, PPARG, SIRT1, VEGFA
Sugar Metabolism: AMPD1, GCK, GLUT2, IRS1, PPARG, TCF7L2
Fat Metabolism: ADRB3, CD36, CPT1A, FABP2, LPL, PLIN1, PPARA, SREBF1
Cholesterol and Bile: CYP7A1, HMGCR, LDLR, SREBF1
Mitochondria and Inflammation: CAT, CRP, FOXO3, GPX1, IFNG, IL6, NRF2, SIRT3, SOD2, TNF, UCP1/2/3
We have a team of functional medicine practitioners and registered nutritional therapists that we can refer you to help you with your results should you need any additional support. This is not included in the cost of the test.
Each test is processed in an ISO certified UK laboratory and all samples are completely destroyed after 3 months. All client genotyping data is marked for destruction at 5 months and completely destroyed by 6 months.
The client report, the data and the DNA sample is never (and will never be) shared with, or sold to third parties. All of the data extraction and analysis is done in the UK.
At Smart Nutrition we pride ourselves in offering the best cost possible for the Genetic Metabolic test.

Buccal cheek swab.
Collecting your samples for the genetic metabolic test is simple, it is a non invasive cheek swab and is suitable for all ages as long as a cheek swab can be collected.
You need to have a break from eating and drinking at least one hour before doing the genetic metabolic test.
As the test is looking at genetic code, which is fixed, the test is not impacted by illness, infections, medication, the food you eat, or supplements you take. To avoid contamination of the sample, please abstain from eating/drinking for at least 1 hour before testing.
The genetic metabolic test is available for anyone, including children, with the consent of a parent or guardian. When testing a child under 18, parental consent is required.
Results for the genetic metabolic test are available in 2.5 weeks.
Your genetic metabolic test results will be emailed to you.
We are here to offer ongoing support as you progress through your health journey, regardless of your test results. Should you have any inquiries or require additional assistance we are happy to help you.
If you feel you need additional support in addressing your health concerns, we suggest considering collaboration with the Functional Medicine and Nutrition Consultations Clinic. (website coming soon)
Karen Preece SmithÂ
As you can see Olga and Karen can help you address areas highlighted by your genetic metabolic test results, crafting a personalised plan tailored to your specific needs. This comprehensive approach would include recommendations regarding your Genetic metabolic test results and any necessary further diagnostic testing depending on your goals, supplementation, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle recommendations, all presented with clear, easy-to-follow guidance.
How to Book your appointment
£150 an hour but you will also receive a £20 off your first appointment discount code with the results.
Many people book a 1 hour session to go over and understand their results. Lots of people want further ongoing support as they want to address their health concerns in more details.
We use lifecodeGX for our genetic metabolic test.
Each test is processed in an ISO certified UK laboratory and all samples are completely destroyed after 3 months. All client genotyping data is marked for destruction after 5 months and completely destroyed by 6 months.
Please see the ISO Certifications below:
LifeCodeGX does not provide the raw data. It is only used as a means to produce the report and therefore not produced in the report.
If you did your genetic test within 3 months we can upgrade it without you needing a new DNA kit.
We don’t use data from any third parties like 23&Me. Unfortunately, it doesn’t include many of the important SNPs that are needed to perform our analysis and produce our detailed reports. We also prefer to use our own testing and data for confidentiality reasons. All of our packages include a Lifecode Gx DNA test to ensure completeness and accuracy.
All sample reports are for representational and educational purposes only. Biomarkers, references ranges, results, and all other data may differ from actual reports. All data included in no way represents an actual patient. Any comparisons of results to actual patients is completely incidental.Â
