DNA Hormones
DNA Hormones is a comprehensive nutrigenetic test analysing and reporting on metabolism and detoxification of sex hormones. It is designed to assist in the management of hormone-related conditions, affecting both men and women. DNA Hormones is essentially an upgrade to the DNA Oestrogen test.
The DNA Hormones test analyses and reports on gene variants that have been shown to have an impact on sex steroid metabolism and biotransformation, affecting male and female health.

Why Choose DNA Hormones
Research has shown that hormonal imbalances can occur due to an increased lifetime exposure to an unsuitable environment (e.g. high oestrogen exposure, increased BMI, carcinogens, sedentary behaviour). This, together with an intrinsic imbalance, due to genetic variation, is a strong risk factor for the development of various hormone-related conditions, affecting both men and women. Depending on the stage in an individual’s lifecycle, environmental exposures and genetic variants carried, certain hormonal biosynthesis, degradation and biotransformation pathways might be preferred. This increases risk for altered sex hormone metabolite ratios as well as imbalance in redox status.
These alterations have been linked to predisposition for hormone related disorders including endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), (sub)fertility, earlier onset of, and heightened symptoms in menopause, bone health disorders, thrombosis, as well as breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. The identification and targeted treatment of hormonal imbalances using personalised interventions, based on the patients’ genetic information, can assist in the management of hormone-related symptoms, reduce their risk for hormone-related diseases and improve their quality of life.
The report offers personalised diet, lifestyle and hormone interventions to support relevant pathways and help you achieve and maintain optimal hormonal health and resilience and extended healthspan.

| Clotting risk | FACTOR II FACTOR V |
Who should consider the test?
The test is suitable for those who are suffering from, or have a family history of, any hormone related disorder or experiencing symptoms that might be related to imbalanced hormone metabolism. Hormone related disorders include endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), (sub)fertility, earlier onset of, and heightened symptoms in menopause, bone health disorders, thrombosis, as well as breast, ovarian and prostate cancer.
It is also beneficial for anyone taking/considering hormone therapy (contraceptive or replacement therapy) for insights into potential clotting risk and to ensure detoxification pathways are optimally supported.
An imbalance in hormone production can affect a wide range of body functions, producing symptoms that negatively affect the quality of life and may increase the risk for hormone-related conditions.

How Do I Book?
Step One
PAY PHIL’S CONSULTATION FEE
Please use the form below to book and pay for the Consultation with Phil Richards. Once you have paid the Consultation Fee, Phil will send you an online Health Questionnaire and a 7-day Weekly Food Diary questionnaire, so that once your blood results are received by Phil he can interpret them correctly and tailor the advice to suit your needs.
PLEASE NOTE: There is only one consultation fee of £300 to be paid regardless of how many panels you purchase within a 48 hour period.
Step Two
PURCHASE TEST WITH Nordic Laboratories
Please purchase the DNA Hormones test with our partner Lab (Nordic Laboratories) by clicking the button below. This will open up a new browser tab with the Nordic Laboratories purchase page and you should use this page to purchase this test directly with them.
What Happens Next?
1.
YOU WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL CONFIRMATION FROM PHIL RICHARDS INCLUDING AN ONLINE HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE AND SEVEN DAY FOOD DIARY
After you have paid the Consultation Fee, you will receive an email from Phil Richards enclosing a Health Questionnaire and a Seven Day Food Diary. It is imperative that you complete all of the Questionnaires that Phil emails to you as quickly as possible (and definitely within 10 – 14 days) to allow him to review the information in preparation of receipt of your results.
2.
YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR DNA HORMONES TEST IN THE POST FROM PARTNER LAB Nordic Laboratories WITHIN 7 – 10 DAYS FROM ORDER
