“I've quit caffeine (it was the nudge I needed)”

At MyHealthChecked, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to nutrition because all our bodies are unique. So unique, we each carry different genetic codes that can tell us a lot about how our bodies can react to different foods. This is something Adam discovered himself using our Intolerances & Sensitivities DNA Test.

“I learnt about MyHealthChecked through word of mouth. I also spotted the site when I was scrolling online for food intolerance tests.

The online testing journey was very quick and hassle-free, with regular emails to notify you once your test has been posted, received, and your results were ready to review.

I don't think there was anything that surprised me about my results - if anything I found it reassuring that certain things I sensed were affecting me. Caffeine consumption and excess salt were specifically confirmed as being medium or high risk, based on my genetic profile.

Following the tailored recommendations that accompanied my results, I've quit caffeine (it was the nudge I needed) and lowered my sodium intake by monitoring my diet more closely. I've even bought a blood pressure monitor for additional reassurance, particularly due to the potential impact of sodium on my blood pressure. I think it's fair to say that these changes to my nutrition and lifestyle have certainly played a part in a general improvement in my health and wellbeing.”

Our DNA tests look at your genetic predispositions to give you guidance - and maybe answers - to some of your gut health struggles.
