Life X DNA Helps Kiwis Personalise Health Plans With At-Home Genetic Testing

As more New Zealanders seek preventative and personalised approaches to health, genetic testing is becoming an increasingly popular tool for understanding long-term risk factors and tailoring lifestyle choices. Life X DNA, a provider of at-home DNA health tests, is helping individuals take proactive steps toward wellness by offering detailed insights into key areas such as heart health and metabolism.

Through DNA testing for heart disease, Life X DNA screens for genetic variants linked to cardiovascular conditions including coronary artery disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and inherited arrhythmias. This information allows users to assess their personal risk and make informed decisions around diet, exercise, and medical monitoring - particularly if there is a family history of heart conditions.

Alongside cardiovascular health, the company also offers genetic testing for metabolism, designed to uncover how an individual’s body processes fat, carbohydrates, and energy. By analysing a wide range of genes, this test identifies predispositions related to fat storage, food cravings, and weight loss resistance. The resulting report helps people develop eating and training strategies that align with their biological profile.

Testing is performed via a non-invasive, saliva-based DNA kit delivered directly to the customer’s door. Once returned for analysis, users receive a detailed and confidential report highlighting key findings and actionable recommendations. No doctor’s visit is required.

As interest in personalised healthcare continues to grow, Life X DNA’s user-friendly services are helping New Zealanders take greater control over their long-term wellbeing—using their own genetics as a guide.
