What if your DNA held the answers to your fatigue, brain fog, or hormone imbalance?
At Lively Shift, we believe personalised health starts with your genes. Genetic testing is no longer just for ancestry—it’s becoming a vital tool in helping women uncover the why behind persistent symptoms and regain clarity, calm, and energy.
With rapid advancements in genetic testing in Australia, it’s now easier than ever to access life-changing insights into how your body works, what it needs, and how to prevent chronic illness before it starts.
What Is Genetic Testing?
Genetic testing involves analysing your DNA to detect variations (called SNPs) that may impact how your body functions. These variations can affect:
- How well you absorb and activate nutrients like folate and B12
- Your body’s ability to detoxify, especially oestrogen and environmental toxins
- Your risk for conditions like anxiety, fatigue, migraines, infertility, and cardiovascular disease
At Lively Shift, we use genetic testing to support women with symptoms like bloating, burnout, hormonal imbalances, brain fog, and low mood—helping them uncover and address root causes.
Key Types of Genetic Tests We Use
1. Methylation & MTHFR Testing
The MTHFR gene plays a key role in how your body converts folate into its active form (5-MTHF). Variants like C677T or A1298C can impair this process, affecting energy, mood, detox, and hormone metabolism.

2. Gene-Based Nutrient & Detox Panel
This test analyses key SNPs affecting how your body uses B vitamins, manages oxidative stress, and processes toxins. Ideal for women with sensitivity to medications, alcohol, or recurring PMS and skin issues.
3. Whole Genome or Targeted Functional Gene Panels
These provide broader insights into chronic disease risk, cognitive health, or longevity pathways.
Why Genetic Testing Matters
Get Personalised Supplement Guidance
We avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead of generic folic acid or iron, we tailor nutrients based on how your body can absorb and utilise them.
Address the Root Causes of Fatigue, Mood, or Hormone Issues
Fatigue, anxiety, PMS, brain fog or even poor sleep can all be linked to impaired methylation, low B12 function, or poor detox genes. Genetic testing helps identify these blocks.
Create a Roadmap for Healthy Ageing & Prevention
Understanding your predispositions means you can take action—early. You can support your mental clarity, energy, and hormone balance through precision wellness.
Is Genetic Testing Right for You?
You might benefit from gene testing if you:
- Struggle with fatigue, anxiety, or brain fog
- Experience hormonal imbalance—PMS, heavy periods, perimenopause
- Have skin issues, bloating, or poor detox
- Have a family history of cardiovascular disease, infertility, or autoimmune conditions
- React poorly to medications, anaesthetics, or supplements
What Makes Lively Shift Different?
At Lively Shift, we blend gene-based testing with naturopathic wisdom and functional medicine principles. Here’s what you get:
- Professional interpretation of your genetic report
- A tailored supplement plan using methylated nutrients (when needed)
- Customised nutrition + detox strategies based on your genes
- A phased implementation plan to avoid side effects and support your nervous system
- Optional functional testing for hormones, cortisol, gut health, and inflammation
Our approach supports women looking for calm, energy, and hormonal clarity—especially those navigating work, family, and purpose-driven lives.
