The DNA health test built for a longer, healthier life

A DNA health test reads the genetic variants linked to how you respond to food, training, supplements and sleep, and to your long-term cardiovascular, metabolic, inflammatory and cognitive health. FitnessGenes turns 600,000 of those variants into 180+ reports and a ranked plan — your BASIL longevity plan — so you know which actions matter most for your biology.

Samples are processed in an ISO-accredited laboratory and variant calls are highly accurate. What the results mean is a question of evidence, so every FitnessGenes report shows the strength of the science behind it and is updated as new research is published. In an Innovate UK-sponsored clinical trial, 87% of participants improved at least one health marker after following their plan.

An ancestry test (23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage) tells you where your family came from. A DNA health test tells you how your body works and what to do about it. If you've already taken an ancestry test, you can upload that raw data to FitnessGenes and get your full health and longevity profile instantly, without a new kit.

No, this is not a diagnostic test. Most of our genetic reports describe predispositions, showing relative likelihoods. Having a particular genetic variant does not mean you will develop a disease or condition — it simply means your likelihood may be higher or lower compared with the average person. A small number of reports relate to variants with stronger clinical relevance (for example, familial hypercholesterolaemia or hereditary haemochromatosis) and are clearly presented in context. We always recommend discussing significant findings with a clinician. You can share your report with your GP, or book a consultation with our medical partner Thrive Doctor — UK GPs who specialise in interpreting genetic results (additional fee applies).

Every report shows the underlying variants, your genotype, the relative risk or effect size, the strength of evidence, and links to the peer-reviewed papers we used. Some variants are more penetrant than others — meaning they have a stronger, more predictable effect — and we make that distinction clear so you can weigh findings appropriately. No black boxes.

We screen 600,000+ DNA variants across genes implicated in metabolism, inflammation, cardiovascular function, cognition, nutrition, fitness and sleep. You can view all the reports you will receive on our What We Analyse page.

Order today and your kit ships within 24 hours. Just provide a saliva sample and post it back (UK-based clients use the included prepaid envelope; non-UK clients return their sample via their national postage service or courier at their own cost), and your results will be ready in 2–3 weeks.

Yes — you can upload your existing DNA data instead of taking a new test. We support most major consumer providers and these will unlock the same 180+ reports plus your longevity plan. Coverage can vary slightly depending on the version of the DNA test used by your provider. If anything is missing, you'll see exactly which insights are affected and can upgrade to our test at any time by simply paying the difference — no need to buy a new test kit at full price.

Yes. Your samples are processed in accredited labs and your data is securely handled and encrypted. We never sell or share your genetic data, and you can delete it whenever you choose.
