Nutrigenomics & Genetic Profiling
After 5 years of nutrigenomics study, Amina reads your genetic profile to understand the susceptibilities behind your symptoms, and to tailor your plan with genuine precision.
Book a ConsultationTwo people can eat the same food, take the same supplement or drink the same coffee and respond completely differently. A large part of that difference is written into our genes. Nutrigenomics is the field that reads those differences and turns them into practical, personalised support.
After 5 years of postgraduate nutrigenomics study, Amina Eastham-Hillier uses genetic profiling to understand the susceptibilities behind a person's symptoms, and to tailor their plan with real precision rather than trial and error.
What your genes can reveal
Genetic variations can influence how you methylate, detoxify, handle stress chemistry and process certain nutrients. Commonly studied variations include:
- MTHFR, involved in methylation and folate metabolism
- COMT, involved in processing stress chemicals and oestrogen
- CBS and SUOX, involved in sulphur and detoxification pathways
- Others relevant to your individual picture
For an everyday example of nutrigenomics in action, see Amina's article on the caffeine genes.
Genes are tendencies, not destiny
This is the important part: your genes describe susceptibilities, not a fixed fate. Knowing them simply lets you support your body more intelligently, choosing the nutrients, foods and lifestyle that suit how you are built, and planning proactively around the areas your profile highlights.
How nutrigenomics fits your plan
Genetic results are one valuable input, interpreted alongside your history, symptoms and any functional testing. Together they shape an individualised plan of nutrition, herbal medicine and lifestyle support.
Working together
Most patients begin with a thorough initial consultation, where Amina discusses whether genetic profiling would add clarity for you. Results are then explained in plain language, so you understand what they mean for your everyday choices.

Common questions
Good to know
Nutrigenomics is the study of how your individual genes interact with food, nutrients and the environment. By understanding genetic variations, Amina can tailor nutrition and support to suit how your body actually works.
Commonly studied variations include MTHFR, COMT, CBS and SUOX, among others, which can influence methylation, detoxification and how you process certain nutrients. Your results are always interpreted in the context of your whole picture.
No. Genes describe tendencies, not destiny. Nutrigenomics helps explain susceptibilities so you can support your body proactively. It guides an individualised plan rather than giving a fixed verdict.
No. Genetic profiling can be arranged for patients across Australia and internationally, with results interpreted during your consultation by video or phone.
