DNA OESTROGEN

DNA Oestrogen
The DNA Oestrogen test is a nutrigenetics test that reports on gene variants that have an impact on how oestrogen is processed in the body and gives insight into whether the processing of oestrogen and related compounds, is efficient and healthy.

Considerable inter-individual variability has been observed in carcinogen metabolism, metabolism of steroid hormones, and phase I and phase II detoxification. Variations in genes involved in these biological processes, help identify a sub-population of women and men with higher lifetime exposure to oestrogens, oestrogen metabolites and other carcinogens.

The DNA Oestrogen test guides the personalisation of diet, hormone and nutritional supplementation recommendations to improve oestrogen metabolism.

1. Poor oestrogen Metabolism is the main cause of Breast cancer in other words the majority of women who get breast cancer do NOT have the BRACA gene, they have genetic variants(SNPs) that renders them inefficient at detoxifying estrogen!

2. Through Functional medicine questionnaires we can identify women at risk ( those that are poor at detoxification)
3. Oestrogen detoxification can be improved through diet and specific nutrients like sulforaphane.
4. The risk for breast cancer doubles in Menopause because of oestrogen dominance( See our previous post )
5. Poor gut health is a common cause of Oestrogen dominance, thus an increased risk for breast cancer.
6. Avoid Xenoestrogens in the diet and environment to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer.
