FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Understand the Science. Confidently Apply It.
Genetic insights can add a valuable dimension to personalized client care, but interpreting and applying them takes more than theoretical knowledge.
Develop your skills with functional genomics education, individual mentorship, and real-world case discussions that bridge the gap between learning and implementation.
Feel Well. Live Well.
Think Well. Age Well.
Functional Nutrition & Lifestyle Genomics/Genetics is about optimizing your health based on your blueprint and using food and lifestyle to support the expression of your genes based on your genetics (DNA) test.
Our DNA is personal and tells a story about ourselves. With this information, we can then make empowered choices. Stop guessing and start working with your own personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan to help you unlock your true potential and optimize your health and well-being.
What is Functional Genomics?
We all have around 3 billion DNA pairs living within our 23 pairs of chromosomes and while 98% of our genes are the same, our protein coding genes represent about 2% of our genome. So while we have the same genes, we all have genetic variants that impact how we look, what we react to, what nutrients or type of exercise we need to thrive, how our detoxification can be impacted and so much more.
IT PROVIDES YOU WITH INSIGHT INTO KEY FACTORS OF OUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING BASED ON YOUR UNIQUE BIOLOGY SUCH AS:
Eating behaviours
Food reactions
Response to different types of diets
Best type of exercises
Nutritional needs you may need to optimize
Metabolic health factors
It’s a roadmap into your very own individual nutrient needs, exercise and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your unique genetic makeup for optimized health.
Why Choose to do a Lifestyle Genetics test?
GENETIC TESTING IS A POWERFUL TOOL THAT CAN HELP GUIDE US TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN YOUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
Recommendations are Unique to your Genetic Profile
Support Nutrition, Lifestyle, Mindset & Environment to Improve Energy, Mood & Brain function
Support Nutrients to improve Detox, Weight Management & Hormonal Balance
Hi, I’m Caroline.
I incorporate my knowledge as well as my advanced training in functional nutrition and functional medicine from Functional Medicine University and advanced training in functional testing helping you create impactful change in your health and wellbeing based on a personalized approach informed by you designed for you. Your Body. Your biology.

When I first graduated as a nutritionist with first-class honours from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (CNP) I joined a medical clinic where I was exposed to the power of genetic testing and had the opportunity of being mentored in functional genomics. There was no turning back for me. Seeing how empowering it was to understand how our body works and how best to support it through nutrition, lifestyle, and supplements I pursued numerous advanced trainings in functional genomics such as Translational Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics| Manuka now 3X4, Functional Genomics with the DNA Company, Nutritional Genomics with the American Nutrition Association, DNA training for Clinical Practice, Advanced Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics for Clinical Practice as well as Culinary Genomics with the Genomic Kitchen.
Learn. Apply. Grow.
Whether you're building your foundation in functional genomics, looking for guidance on a specific client case, or seeking ongoing professional development, there's a pathway to support your growth.
Explore opportunities to deepen your knowledge, strengthen your clinical reasoning, and bring greater confidence to your practice.
