DNA Core
DNACore is the starting point on your journey to personalised healthcare. This test reports on gene-environment interactions and provides personalised, easy-to-follow, summarised recommendations on four core areas; 1) key biological processes that drive health including methylation, detoxification and lipid metabolism, 2) macro- and micronutrient requirements based on genetic response, 3) weight management insights such as obesity risk and eating behaviour, and 4) exercise responsiveness including power and endurance potential, and recovery time. Note that this test includes all gene variants tested and insights reported in DNA Health, DNA Diet, and DNA Sport, in one user-friendly report.
DNA Resilience
Reports on seven key molecular areas that have the greatest influence on stress and resilience: neuropeptide Y; oxytocin; neurotrophic pathway; cortisol; norepinephrine; dopamine; serotonin. This test determines one’s genetic resilience and provides nutrient and lifestyle strategies to amplify intrinsic strengths and reduce weaknesses.
DNA Mind
DNA Mind reports on variants in 30 genes involved in key biological pathways, from serotonin and dopamine to inflammation and methylation, that have been shown to have significant associations with mental health, and provides personalised diet, lifestyle and nutraceutical recommendations as well as valuable ‘diagnostic insights’.

DNA Skin
DNA Skin analyses genes involved in biological areas that influence skin health. DNA Skin was developed to provide insight into the genetic contribution of important biological areas involved in maintaining the health of the skin, thus allowing for a more targeted approach to skincare. Read more
DNA Oestrogen
Approximately 80% of breast cancer occurs in women with little to no family history. Research has shown that an increased lifetime exposure to oestrogen, and unbalanced oestrogen metabolism, is a strong risk factor in the development of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer, as well as oestrogen dominant disorders, such as endometriosis and premenstrual syndrome.

DNA Smile
Oral health has a great impact on overall health and there is a growing evidence that supports the link between risk for periodontal disease and the development of other chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain cancers, and cognitive decline. DNA Smile is a genetic test designed to give insights into the state of oral health and predisposition for developing periodontal disease, tooth caries and other systemic diseases. Read more
Overview
As Nordic Biohackers, we understand our individual uniqueness through identifying our genetic structure, we assess biochemically and physiologically how we perform, and monitor that over time. Adjusting and assessing regularly so we gain through longitudinal data an understanding of how we perform in a world of stressors. The journey towards longevity begins in the gestational period and lasts our whole lifetime. As we engage in health ownership by breaking down the preconceptions about early testing, we monitor our physiological data and adopt personalized nutritional and lifestyle approaches tailored to our genetic footprint that work together with targeted treatments focused on improving our biological performance. State-of-the-art education and active group learning is therefore essential, and should be attained with access to nutrigenomic experts and world-recognised holistic healthcare professionals. Thus, through the Nordic Biohacker Experiment, you will have not only detailed insight and education about your genotype and phenotype, but also the opportunity to share your experiences, inspire others and exchange knowledge during your journey towards health optimisation and longevity.
