Genetic & Epigenetic Testing
At Anew Health, we use advanced genetic testing from Muhdo to help you understand how your unique DNA influences your health, performance, and ageing. This is not about ancestry - it’s about actionable health insights you can use to optimise your body and brain.
By analysing over 1,000 genetic areas, Muhdo reveals how your genes affect everything from nutrient metabolism to exercise response, stress resilience, and even biological ageing.
What's Included in the Muhdo Genetic Health Panel?
1. Health & Longevity Insights
Understand your body’s natural tendencies and where it may need extra support:
-
Biological age vs chronological age - a snapshot of how well your cells are ageing
-
Antioxidant capacity - how well you neutralise oxidative stress
-
Inflammation risk - your predisposition to chronic inflammation
-
Bone health - your genetic risk for osteoporosis or fractures
-
Lactose, gluten and alcohol sensitivity - genes that affect digestion and tolerance
2. Fitness & Recovery
Your genes can help explain how your body responds to training — and how to train smarter:
-
Muscle fibre type - power vs endurance dominance
-
Injury risk - especially soft tissue injuries like tendinopathy or ligament damage
-
Recovery speed - your natural repair response to physical stress
-
Aerobic capacity (VO₂ max potential)
-
Motivation to exercise - understanding genetic traits linked to exercise adherence
3. Nutrition & Metabolism
No one-size-fits-all approach works when it comes to diet. This panel helps tailor nutrition to your genetic makeup:
-
Carbohydrate and fat metabolism - how efficiently you process different macronutrients
-
Appetite control genes - such as FTO, influencing hunger and satiety
-
Vitamin and mineral needs - e.g. genes affecting B12, Vitamin D, folate, iron absorption
-
Caffeine and salt sensitivity - and how these may impact blood pressure and energy
4. Cognitive Health & Resilience
Your brain’s performance is just as influenced by your DNA as your body:
-
Stress reactivity and cortisol regulation
-
Sleep quality - circadian rhythm and melatonin pathway genes
-
Mental sharpness and fatigue risk
-
Mood and anxiety markers - such as COMT and MAO-A variants
5. Skin, Detox & Cellular Defence
Your DNA influences how your body copes with environmental stress and skin ageing:
-
Collagen structure and skin ageing risk
-
Sun sensitivity and pigmentation
-
Detoxification capacity - how efficiently your liver processes toxins
-
Skin health and hydration potential based on ceramide and lipid-related genes
How We Use Your Results at Anew Health
Your DNA is the foundation - but it's how we interpret and apply it that makes the difference.
At Anew Health, we combine your genetic profile with detailed blood testing, hormone assessments, and lifestyle factors to build a truly individualised health plan. You’ll leave with clear recommendations for:
-
Nutrition and supplementation
-
Exercise type and intensity
-
Stress management and recovery strategies
-
Preventive health and longevity support
You only need to test once, your DNA doesn’t change, but your results can guide your health for life.
Track How Your Lifestyle Is Ageing You
Unlike genetic testing, which looks at your fixed DNA blueprint, epigenetic testing shows how your environment and lifestyle are actively influencing your health right now.
Using advanced epigenetic profiling, Muhdo’s saliva-based test reveals how your choices are affecting gene expression, ageing, inflammation, and overall health. It’s one of the most advanced, non-invasive ways to track how well your body is really doing beneath the surface.
This is true precision medicine in action - and it's ideal for anyone serious about prevention, longevity, and performance.
What’s Measured in the Muhdo Epigenetic Health Panel
1. Biological Age
-
Get an accurate read of your true cellular age, based on DNA methylation markers
-
Track your age reversal or acceleration over time - with repeat testing available
2. Eye Age
-
A novel marker indicating the ageing process of your ocular and neurological systems
-
Early changes here may reflect brain health and neuroinflammation risk
3. Memory Age
-
Reflects cognitive resilience and risk of decline
-
A valuable marker if you’re concerned about early memory loss, brain fog or mental fatigue
4. Hearing Age
-
Looks at age-related hearing changes before symptoms appear
-
Can reflect oxidative stress and inner ear inflammation
5. Inflammation & Immunity
-
Measures systemic inflammation and immune efficiency at the cellular level
-
Crucial for identifying risk of chronic disease or post-viral immune dysfunction
6. Mitochondrial Health
-
Insight into how well your mitochondria (energy-producing structures) are functioning
-
Essential for fatigue, performance, recovery, and healthy ageing
7. Telomere Length (Biological Resilience)
-
Telomeres protect your DNA; shorter telomeres are linked to accelerated ageing and disease
-
Epigenetic testing gives insight into the rate of telomere loss and potential for optimisation
What Makes Epigenetics Different
-
Your genes are fixed but your gene expression is dynamic
-
Epigenetic changes reflect how stress, diet, sleep, exercise, toxins, and mindset impact your biology
-
By tracking these patterns, we can intervene early, reverse biological damage, and optimise ageing
-
How We Use Epigenetic Data at Anew Health
This test is not a stand-alone service - it’s part of a broader, personalised optimisation strategy. At Anew Health, we combine your epigenetic results with:
-
Functional blood work
-
Hormone profiling
-
Lifestyle and performance assessments
You’ll receive:
-
A full clinician-led interpretation of your results
-
Personalised recommendations to improve biological ageing markers
-
Advice on supplements, sleep, exercise, stress management, and longevity planning
-
An option to re-test every 6–12 months to track progress
