After your request, you’ll receive a patient questionnaire and a digital consent form via email, which you can easily fill out and submit online. Once we receive your completed forms, we will dispatch the DNA test kit directly to your home. This allows you to collect your sample at your convenience and return it using the included prepaid packaging. This streamlined process ensures you can begin your personalised health assessment without any inconvenience.

Taking The Test

The test kit contains everything you need to ensure a straightforward sample collection.

Inside the kit, you’ll find a sterile swab tube, patient consent form, detailed instructions, 2 x lD-labels, and a biohazard bag.

To complete your DNA test, start by washing your hands thoroughly. Open the sterile swab provided and gently rub it along the inside of each cheek to collect saliva, following the detailed instructions included to ensure an accurate sample. After collection, place the swab into the provided container to preserve the sample. Affix one of the bar-coded ID stickers lengthwise on the closed swab tube.

Next, use the pre-paid return envelope to package your sample, along with one of the signed consent forms. You can either drop the package off at your local post office or arrange for postal collection using the instructions provided in the kit. Keep the remaining forms in a safe place for your records and future reference. Your sample will then be sent to our lab for analysis. If you have any questions, you can contact us here at The Menopause Clinic or The BioHacking Clinic using the contact details provided.

Receiving The Results

Following the analysis of your DNA test results, personalised recommendations will be provided to address your menopausal symptoms effectively. Depending on your genetic profile, several treatments and lifestyle changes may be suggested to enhance your well-being. For those experiencing hormonal imbalances, bio-identical hormones can be a valuable treatment option. These hormones are structurally identical to those naturally produced by your body, which can help alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

In addition to hormone therapy, lifestyle adjustments may be recommended to optimise your health. These could include dietary changes tailored to your genetic predispositions, such as incorporating specific nutrients to support hormonal balance and overall vitality. Regular exercise plans suited to your genetic profile can also be beneficial for managing weight and improving mood.

Furthermore, skincare treatments might be suggested if your results indicate a predisposition to menopausal skin changes. Consult with one of our specialists at The Menopause Clinic to create a comprehensive, personalised plan that aligns with your DNA findings and supports your overall health and comfort during menopause.
