LifeCode Gx
Epigenetic Testing
at AEOM
Genetic predispositions that actually inform care — interpreted clinically, integrated properly, used to guide what you do next
LifeCode Gx offers some of the more clinically useful genetic testing available — analysing how specific gene variants affect nutrition, hormones, methylation, metabolism and detoxification. Unlike consumer ancestry-led testing (23andMe, AncestryDNA), LifeCode Gx focuses entirely on actionable health pathways with peer-reviewed clinical relevance. The key honest framing: these are predispositions, not predictions. Your genes load the gun; your lifestyle pulls the trigger. The real value is in understanding which lifestyle factors matter most for your specific genetic profile, not in receiving deterministic health forecasts.
Key facts strip:
- Single Report: £395 • Two-Report Bundle: £695 • Comprehensive Package: £995
- Saliva test at home or in clinic — no needles
- Results in 4–6 weeks, including clinical interpretation consultation
- One-time test — your genes don't change, the interpretation can be revisited
Introduction
Genetic testing,
properly contextualised
The genetic testing market spans an enormous range — from ancestry-led tests (23andMe, AncestryDNA) that produce broad ethnic background reports with limited health utility, to direct-to-consumer health-focused genetic tests with variable clinical credibility, to clinical-grade genetic testing for diagnosed conditions. LifeCode Gx sits at a specific point: actionable, peer-reviewed gene variants relevant to wellness and lifestyle interventions, interpreted by trained practitioners.
What makes LifeCode Gx genuinely useful:
Focus on actionable pathways
Every gene included in their reports has a documented relationship to a modifiable health pathway — nutrition, methylation, hormones, detoxification, metabolism. You don't get findings you can't act on.
Peer-reviewed evidence base
Each variant in their panels has published research connecting it to specific clinical outcomes. The reports cite the supporting literature directly.
Practitioner-led model
LifeCode Gx is designed to be ordered, interpreted and integrated into clinical care by trained practitioners — not sold as a standalone consumer product where patients receive complex data without context.
Personalised lifestyle insights
The reports translate variant data into practical recommendations: which nutrients you need more of, which dietary patterns suit your genetic profile, which environmental factors matter most for you.
The genetic testing market spans an enormous range — from ancestry-led tests (23andMe, AncestryDNA) that produce broad ethnic background reports with limited health utility, to direct-to-consumer health-focused genetic tests with variable clinical credibility, to clinical-grade genetic testing for diagnosed conditions. LifeCode Gx sits at a specific point: actionable, peer-reviewed gene variants relevant to wellness and lifestyle interventions, interpreted by trained practitioners.
What makes LifeCode Gx genuinely useful:
The critical honest framing: these are predispositions, not predictions. Having a variant associated with a particular pathway tells you that pathway may be more or less efficient than average — not that you will develop a particular condition or respond a specific way. Lifestyle, environment, and other variants typically have meaningfully larger effects than any single genetic finding.
HOW IT WORKS
The science, briefly
What's being measured: Specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) — points in your DNA where individuals commonly differ — that have documented relationships to health pathways. SNPs aren't mutations or "abnormalities"; they're natural human variation. Different versions of the same gene affect how that gene functions, which affects how relevant pathways operate.
How the test is performed: A saliva sample collected at home or in clinic, returned to the LifeCode Gx laboratory for analysis. The test sequences specific SNPs relevant to the report(s) you've selected. Your full genome is not sequenced — only the variants relevant to clinical interpretation.
What you get back: A comprehensive report for each panel, including:
- Your specific variants ("genotype") for each gene tested
- Colour-coded interpretation showing whether each variant is favourable, neutral or suboptimal
- Explanation of what each gene does and what the variant means functionally
- Specific nutrient, dietary and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your genetic profile
- Links to supporting research evidence
- Areas where further testing (bloodwork, additional genetic panels, clinical assessment) may be useful
An important practical point: Genetic testing is a one-time investment. Your DNA doesn't change, so you don't repeat the test. What can change is the interpretation as the science develops and as your circumstances change. Patients who tested 5 years ago often benefit from a fresh clinical review applying current science to their existing data — without retesting.
THE THREE PRIMARY REPORTS
Our three core offerings
LifeCode Gx offers eleven distinct reports. To avoid overwhelming patients and to focus on what's most clinically actionable, AEOM features three primary reports as standard offerings, with the additional reports available as add-ons for specific clinical needs.
Nutrient Core — The Foundation
£395 — single report
The starting point for most patients. Analyses how gene variants affect:
- Food response — gluten (coeliac risk) and lactose intolerance
- Caffeine sensitivity — fast vs slow metaboliser, cardiovascular implications
- Microbiome diversity — gut bacterial profile predispositions
- Vitamin requirements — Vitamin A (BCO1), B9/folate (MTHFR), B12 (TCN2, FUT2), Vitamin C (SLC23A1), Vitamin D (GC, VDR), Vitamin K (VKORC1)
- Blood pressure — sodium-potassium balance, salt sensitivity
- Detoxification capacity — glutathione production (GSTM1)
- Metabolism — insulin response (TCF7L2), appetite regulation (FTO, LEPR)
- Inflammation — TNF and IFNG variants
- Circadian rhythm — natural chronotype predispositions
Most suitable for: Patients new to genetic testing; patients with nutritional concerns or persistent symptoms not explained by standard bloodwork; patients wanting evidence-based dietary personalisation; patients with family history of cardiovascular or metabolic conditions; patients who've tried multiple dietary approaches without success.
Hormones Report
£395 — single report
Particularly valuable for perimenopausal women, women considering or on HRT, and patients with documented hormonal concerns. Analyses gene variants affecting:
- Steroid hormones — production and balance
- Oestrogen metabolism — including the COMT, CYP1A1, CYP1B1, CYP3A4 pathways that determine how your body processes oestrogen
- Detoxification pathways — how efficiently your liver clears hormone metabolites
- HPA axis (stress response) — cortisol regulation patterns
- HPG axis — reproductive hormone signalling
Most suitable for: Perimenopausal and menopausal women; women considering HRT (the report can inform HRT decisions); patients with hormone-sensitive concerns (acne, mood changes, PMS, weight patterns); men experiencing andropause symptoms; patients with family history of hormone-sensitive cancers wanting genetic context (with appropriate clinical framing).
Methylation Report
£395 — single report
Methylation is the cellular process underlying mood regulation, detoxification, cardiovascular health, energy production, hormone metabolism, immune function and DNA repair. Methylation variants — particularly MTHFR and related genes — are some of the most clinically relevant in lifestyle genetics.
The Methylation Report analyses your variants in this pathway and translates findings into specific recommendations for:
- Folate type and dosing (some patients need methylfolate rather than folic acid)
- B12 form and adequacy
- Cardiovascular-relevant homocysteine management
- Mood and cognitive support
- Detoxification efficiency
Most suitable for: Patients with mood concerns, family history of depression or cognitive decline; patients with elevated homocysteine on bloodwork; patients with cardiovascular risk factors; patients with poor response to standard B-vitamin supplementation; women planning pregnancy (folate metabolism matters here).
ADDITIONAL REPORTS
Available add-ons
and specialty reports
Beyond the three primary reports, LifeCode Gx offers additional panels for patients with specific clinical questions. We offer all of these as add-ons:
Metabolics Report — £325
Comprehensive analysis of energy regulation, longevity and healthspan pathways. 40+ genes across appetite regulation, nutrient sensing, sugar and fat metabolism, cholesterol and bile, mitochondria and inflammation. Particularly useful for: serious longevity-focused patients, patients with metabolic concerns, patients on or considering GLP-1 medications.
Detoxification Report — £325
Phase I and Phase II liver detoxification pathway analysis. Particularly useful for: patients with environmental exposure concerns, alcohol metabolism questions, patients with symptoms suggestive of poor detoxification capacity.
Histamine Intolerance Report — £325
Genetic factors affecting histamine breakdown via DAO and HNMT pathways. Particularly useful for: patients with suspected histamine intolerance (reactions to fermented foods, wine, aged cheese, leftovers), unexplained chronic symptoms (headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, GI symptoms).
Nervous System Report — £325
Neurotransmitter balance — dopamine, serotonin, GABA, glutamate pathways. Particularly useful for: patients with mood concerns, ADHD considerations, anxiety patterns, addiction risk awareness.
APOE Report — £225
Apolipoprotein E variant analysis. Particularly useful for: patients with cardiovascular risk concerns and family history of Alzheimer's disease wanting genetic context. Important note: APOE testing carries specific psychological implications — particularly for patients carrying APOE4 variants and family history of Alzheimer's. We discuss this carefully at consultation and may recommend genetic counselling before testing.
Thyroid Balance Report — £325
Genetic factors affecting thyroid hormone synthesis, conversion and receptor sensitivity. Particularly useful for: patients with subclinical thyroid concerns, patients on thyroid medication with persistent symptoms, family history of thyroid disorders.
Metals and Minerals Report — £325
Variants affecting absorption, distribution and excretion of essential minerals and heavy metals. Particularly useful for: patients with documented mineral deficiencies despite supplementation, patients with environmental heavy metal exposure history.
Athlete Report — £325
Genetic factors affecting athletic performance — power vs endurance predispositions, recovery patterns, injury risk markers. Particularly useful for: serious recreational athletes, patients optimising training around genetic profile.
RECOMMENDED COMBINATIONS
How most
patients combine reports
Most patients book a combination of two or three reports rather than a single panel — the integration produces a meaningfully more useful picture.
Recommended combinations:
Foundation Bundle — £695
Nutrient Core + Methylation Report
The most-booked starting combination. Covers the foundational nutritional and methylation pathways together — typically all most patients need for actionable insight. Saves £95 vs separate purchase.
Women's Health Bundle — £695
Nutrient Core + Hormones Report
Particularly valuable for women in their 30s onwards, perimenopausal patients, women considering HRT, and women with hormonally-influenced concerns (PMS, fertility, hormone-sensitive symptoms).
Comprehensive Wellness Bundle — £995
Nutrient Core + Methylation + Hormones
For patients investing seriously in personalised wellness — combines nutritional, methylation and hormonal pathways into a comprehensive genetic profile. Most useful when combined with bloodwork and broader AEOM care. Saves £190 vs separate purchase.
Longevity Bundle — £1,195
Nutrient Core + Methylation + Metabolics + APOE
For patients focused on long-term healthspan and cognitive longevity. Provides comprehensive picture across the pathways most relevant to age-related decline. Note on APOE inclusion: carries specific psychological implications discussed in detail at consultation.
Custom combinations: Any combination of reports is available; we'll discuss the right selection at consultation based on your specific situation.
WHO IT'S FOR
Who LifeCode Gx
is right for
LifeCode Gx is well-suited if you are:
New to genetic testing and wanting clinically actionable information rather than ancestry data
Frustrated by trial-and-error with diet, supplements, or wellness approaches and want personalised guidance
Perimenopausal or considering HRT — the Hormones Report adds genuine clinical context
Experiencing persistent symptoms (fatigue, mood, digestive, hormonal) that haven't been resolved by standard approaches
Investing in long-term wellness and want your DNA profile informing decisions
A serious athlete wanting to personalise training around genetic predispositions
On Optimisation Membership and wanting LifeCode Gx as part of comprehensive baseline (available at member rate)
Planning pregnancy — folate metabolism, methylation status and nutritional gene variants have specific relevance pre-conception
Family history-aware — patients with family histories of cardiovascular disease, dementia, hormonal cancers, mood disorders, or metabolic disease often benefit from understanding their own genetic context
LifeCode Gx may not be the right test if you:
Want disease prediction or risk scores — these reports show predispositions, not predictions
Are looking for clinical genetic testing for diagnosed conditions or family inherited disease — see a clinical geneticist; we'd refer appropriately
Are looking for ancestry information — 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage are appropriate alternatives
Have significant anxiety around genetic information — receiving variant data without proper psychological framing can be distressing; we'd discuss carefully at consultation
Are looking for the cheapest possible test — direct consumer alternatives exist at lower price points without clinical context
Don't want to act on findings — the test is most valuable when paired with willingness to adjust diet, supplementation or lifestyle based on results
A specific note on APOE testing: APOE variants carry meaningful psychological implications — particularly APOE4 carriers with family history of Alzheimer's disease. We treat APOE testing as a deliberate, careful decision rather than a routine add-on. For patients considering APOE testing, we may recommend genetic counselling before proceeding, particularly if family history is significant.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before, during and after
Before
Initial Consultation (30 minutes)
You attend AEOM for a brief consultation reviewing:
- Your specific reasons for considering genetic testing and what you're hoping to learn
- Your medical history, family history and any relevant symptoms or concerns
- Recommendation on which report(s) are most appropriate for your situation
- Discussion of what genetic testing can and can't tell you
- Specific consideration of APOE testing if relevant — including psychological implications
We then provide the test kit, which you can complete at home or before leaving the clinic.
Sample Collection
A saliva sample collected via the provided kit. No needles, no fasting required. Most patients complete the sample in a few minutes. The sample is returned to the LifeCode Gx laboratory via prepaid return.
Lab Processing
4–6 Weeks
LifeCode Gx processes samples at their laboratory and produces the report(s) you've ordered. Standard turnaround is 4–6 weeks from sample receipt.
Clinical Interpretation Consultation — 60 Minutes
The most important part. When your reports are ready, you attend AEOM for a comprehensive interpretation consultation covering:
- A walk through each report's key findings
- What your specific variants mean functionally
- Which findings warrant immediate attention vs which are informational
- Integration with your wider clinical picture (bloodwork, symptoms, lifestyle, goals)
- Specific recommendations: dietary changes, supplementation choices (and forms — e.g. methylfolate vs folic acid), lifestyle priorities
- Identification of areas where additional testing or clinical follow-up may be useful
- Long-term plan for acting on the findings
You leave with the full reports plus a written summary of clinical recommendations specific to your situation.
After
A
Your genetic data is yours forever — you don't repeat the test. We'd recommend periodically revisiting the interpretation as your circumstances change (significant life events, new symptoms, pregnancy planning, perimenopause) and as the underlying science evolves. Follow-up interpretation consultations are available at £150 (45 minutes) for patients wanting fresh review of existing data.
THE HONEST PART
What LifeCode Gx
will and won't tell you
This section matters more than usual. Genetic testing is uniquely prone to over-interpretation — both by clinics overselling what it shows and by patients reading deterministic meaning into findings that are probabilistic at best.
Predispositions, not predictions.
Having a variant associated with increased risk of a condition doesn't mean you'll develop it. The interactions between your genes, environment, lifestyle and other variants typically matter more than any single SNP. Most variants increase or decrease risk by relatively small amounts.
Lifestyle matters more than genetics for most outcomes.
With limited exceptions (specific high-impact variants like APOE4, BRCA mutations, monogenic disease genes), the major outcomes the reports address — cardiovascular risk, metabolic health, mood, weight — are significantly more influenced by sleep, nutrition, exercise, stress and environment than by your specific gene variants. Your DNA loads the gun; your lifestyle pulls the trigger.
The science is good but still developing.
The variants included in LifeCode Gx panels have published evidence of clinical relevance, but the field is genuinely evolving. Findings interpreted as definitive today may be revised as research progresses. We treat the data as useful guidance, not unchanging truth.
Reports are most useful with clinical interpretation.
Receiving 100+ pages of variant data without context produces confusion, anxiety, or both. The interpretation consultation translates the reports into actionable specifics for your situation. Without this layer, the value of the testing is significantly diminished — and consumer genetic tests sold without clinical interpretation frequently produce more confusion than clarity.
Some findings carry psychological weight.
Specific findings — APOE4 carrier status with family history of Alzheimer's, BRCA implications, high-risk hormone-sensitive cancer pathway variants — can be psychologically significant. We discuss carefully before testing whether you actually want to know specific findings; "ignorance is bliss" is a legitimate position for some findings, and we respect it.
Acting on findings requires sustained engagement.
Genetic testing produces recommendations you then need to implement and maintain. Patients who test, read the report once, and don't follow through get little value. The test is most useful as the start of personalised intervention, not as an end in itself.
We use LifeCode Gx because, interpreted properly and integrated into broader care, it produces genuinely actionable insights. We don't sell it as something more than that.
LIFECODE GX COMPARED — HOW IT DIFFERS
LifeCode Gx
vs other genetic tests
LifeCode Gx vs 23andMe / AncestryDNA / MyHeritage
Different categories of test. Consumer ancestry tests provide broad ethnic background information and some basic health risk markers — useful for ancestry curiosity but limited clinical utility. LifeCode Gx focuses entirely on actionable health pathways with peer-reviewed clinical evidence, designed for practitioner interpretation. A useful technical note: 23andMe data can sometimes be uploaded to third-party services for additional interpretation, but the quality and reliability of these interpretations varies enormously. LifeCode Gx provides clean, clinically validated data directly.
LifeCode Gx vs Other Nutrigenomic Tests
(DNAfit, FitnessGenes, MyDNAge) The nutrigenomic testing market includes several players of varying credibility. LifeCode Gx is at the higher end of clinical credibility in this category — practitioner-led model, peer-reviewed evidence base, regular report updates as science evolves, and explicit focus on clinically actionable variants. Many other nutrigenomic tests overpromise on specificity ("eat exactly these foods because of your DNA") in ways that aren't well-supported by evidence.
LifeCode Gx vs Clinical Genetic Testing
Clinical genetic testing — for diagnosed conditions, family inherited disease investigation, pre-conception counselling for specific risks, oncology genetic testing (BRCA, Lynch syndrome, etc.) — sits in a different category entirely. This is medical-grade testing typically delivered through NHS clinical genetics services or specialist private clinics, with genetic counselling included. For patients with significant family history or specific clinical genetic questions, we'd refer to clinical genetics services rather than rely on LifeCode Gx.
LifeCode Gx vs Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS)
A considered, restrained approach to injectables — used to support skin quality, soften expression lines, or restore subtle volume where clinically appropriate. We don't push fillers, and we don't believe in overcorrection. Treatments: Skin Boosters (Profhilo, Seventy Hyal, Neofound), Anti-Wrinkle, Dermal Fillers
LifeCode Gx vs Direct Consumer Purchase
LifeCode Gx tests can be ordered directly from the company at similar pricing — but only through a registered practitioner. The practitioner-led model is built into how the company operates, which we think is the right approach. Different practitioners and clinics offer LifeCode Gx; what AEOM adds is integration with our wider clinical care and the depth of the interpretation consultation.

COMBINE WITH
Treatments that combine well
with LifeCode Gx
The clinical value of LifeCode Gx compounds significantly when paired with other data sources and interventions.
LifeCode Gx + Comprehensive Wellness Panel
Bloodwork shows your current biochemical status; LifeCode Gx shows underlying genetic predispositions. Together, they reveal whether your variants are actually expressing problematically — a patient with MTHFR variants but optimal homocysteine on bloodwork is in different clinical territory than the same patient with elevated homocysteine.
LifeCode Gx + Nutritionist Consultation
The most-recommended combination. Genetic findings inform personalised nutritional recommendations significantly more precisely than generic dietary advice. Radhika's chef background means the recommendations translate into actual cooking, not just theoretical food lists.
LifeCode Gx + GlycanAge
GlycanAge measures functional immune-system inflammation right now. LifeCode Gx shows the genetic substrate beneath it. Together they reveal whether genetic predispositions to inflammation are actually manifesting, and how lifestyle interventions might be most effective for your specific profile.
LifeCode Gx + Hormones Report + Female Hormone Profile + Clinical Sleep Assessment
A Skin & Hair Glow IV on the same day supports the regenerative response from within.
LifeCode Gx + Wearables Baseline Review
Genetic data integrated into the comprehensive Baseline Review report contextualises the patterns showing in your wearable data. Particularly useful for understanding why your specific lifestyle patterns affect you the way they do.
LifeCode Gx + GP / Specialist Care
For patients managing diagnosed conditions, LifeCode Gx findings can usefully inform GP and specialist care discussions — particularly for medication choice (e.g. MTHFR variants affecting certain medications), supplementation strategy and lifestyle prescription. With your consent, we'll share reports with your wider care team.
Frequently asked questions
Is genetic testing safe and private?
LifeCode Gx is a UK-based laboratory operating under UK GDPR. Your sample is analysed for the specific variants relevant to your selected report(s); your full genome is not sequenced. Data is stored securely; data is not shared with third parties for marketing, insurance, or research without your specific consent. At any time you can request deletion of your stored data. AEOM is ICO-registered (ZC073276) and handles your data under strict special category health data protocols.
Will my insurance be affected if I do genetic testing?
UK private medical insurance currently has limited mandatory disclosure requirements for predictive genetic testing of this type, but the position can vary by insurer and policy.
For patients with significant life insurance, critical illness cover or income protection concerns, we'd recommend reviewing your policy disclosure obligations before testing — particularly for APOE testing. We can provide general guidance at consultation and recommend specialist advice if relevant.
Can the results affect my eligibility for jobs, mortgages, or insurance?
Under current UK law, genetic test results are not routinely used for employment, mortgage or housing decisions. Insurance is more nuanced — see above. For most patients these concerns are minimal but worth being aware of.
How accurate are the tests?
The laboratory analysis itself is highly accurate — the specific SNPs are reliably measured. What's less certain is the interpretation: how much weight to put on any specific finding, how variants interact with each other and with lifestyle, and how the underlying science will evolve. We treat the variant data as reliable and the interpretation as guidance that should evolve as science develops.
Will the test diagnose any diseases?
No. These reports identify predispositions and pathway variants — not diagnoses. If findings suggest investigating specific clinical possibilities (e.g. coeliac screening for HLA variants associated with coeliac risk), we'd recommend appropriate clinical testing through your GP or relevant specialist.
What if I have findings that suggest serious disease risk?
We discuss specific high-impact findings carefully. For APOE4 carriers with family history of Alzheimer's, BRCA-related findings (though LifeCode Gx doesn't typically test BRCA), or other clinically significant variants, we'd recommend appropriate clinical genetics referral and may suggest genetic counselling. Major clinical implications aren't left for you to navigate alone.
Can I do the test without a consultation?
LifeCode Gx is designed as a practitioner-led test — you can't typically order it without practitioner involvement.
We strongly recommend both the initial consultation (to ensure you order the right tests and consent appropriately) and the interpretation consultation (where the value really emerges). Patients who skip the interpretation step typically get little benefit from the testing.
How is this different from getting my 23andMe data analysed by a third-party service?
Several differences. 23andMe data can be uploaded to third-party interpretation services (Promethease, Genetic Genie, Found My Fitness, etc.), but the quality varies enormously.
Some third-party interpretations are credible; others read meaning into variants without good evidence. LifeCode Gx provides clean, clinically validated data with peer-reviewed evidence and practitioner interpretation built in. If you already have 23andMe raw data and want clinical interpretation of it, we'd discuss your options at consultation — sometimes ordering LifeCode Gx directly is more useful than trying to interpret 23andMe data with variable third-party tools.
Should I share results with my GP?
Generally yes, with your consent. Many GPs welcome the additional context — particularly for patients with persistent symptoms or family history concerns. We provide reports in a format that's clinically accessible and can share directly with your GP if you'd like.
Will I have to take lots of supplements based on the results?
Probably some — but typically fewer than patients expect. The reports identify specific nutrient needs (e.g. methylfolate for MTHFR variants, particular Vitamin D recommendations for specific variants), but most recommendations are dietary and lifestyle rather than supplemental. We're not interested in selling supplements — we make evidence-based recommendations based on your actual needs.
What if I'm pregnant or trying to conceive?
Genetic testing during pregnancy itself is straightforward — no impact on the pregnancy. Pre-conception testing can be particularly valuable: folate metabolism (MTHFR), methylation status, and other nutritional gene variants are highly relevant to pre-conception health. Speak to us at consultation if relevant.
Can I do this for my children?
We don't typically recommend genetic testing of minors for predisposition information. The exception is specific clinical genetic testing for diagnosed conditions, which should be handled through clinical genetics services. For wellness-focused testing, we'd recommend waiting until your child is an adult and can consent to the testing themselves.
Will I get a single biological age number from this?
No — LifeCode Gx focuses on actionable pathway analysis, not biological age estimation. For biological age testing, GlycanAge is the more appropriate test. The two are complementary — GlycanAge shows current biological ageing; LifeCode Gx shows the genetic context beneath it.
Where is AEOM located?
Our clinic is at 116 Seymour Place in Marylebone, London.
Marylebone, Baker Street and Edgware Road stations are all under ten minutes on foot. Free street parking is available after 6.30pm, with paid bays on York Street nearby — daytime parking is reimbursed for treatments over £200. Treatments are by appointment only.
