Why DNA testing for health?
Have you ever noticed what works for your friend - a diet or fitness plan - doesnât have the same results for you?
Discover why generic health advice may be holding you back. Your genetic code is unique, which means your body responds differently to foods, exercise and lifestyle factors to anyone elseâs.
Through DNA testing, youâll uncover your bodyâs specific genetic needs, allowing you to make smart, science-backed decisions about your health.
Stop following generalised wellness advice and start optimising your health with personalised insights that work with your biology, not against it.
Why StrideDNA?
Unlock your body's genetic potential with insights covering methylation profile, nutrition, fitness, sleep and cognition, and skin health.
Access over 40 comprehensive DNA reports tailored to your unique genetic profile. Each report includes clear, actionable lifestyle recommendations designed to optimise your health and wellbeing.
Enjoy a complimentary one-to-one consultation with one of our in-house dieticians for even more personalised support.

What's included with StrideDNA?
With StrideDNA, we analyse 9,000 genetic locations and 110 key genes - focusing on the most well-researched genetic variants that influence whole-body health and wellness. Plus, youâll also have access to a consultation with one of our Stride dieticians to help you further understand your results.
Methylation Profile Reports.
The StrideDNA Methylation Report examines the genetic variants that influence your body's methylation profile capabilities.
It highlights the activity of key methylation genes, such as MTHFR, during five crucial cycles, including the Folate Cycle. Understanding these genetic influences can help you optimise nutrient absorption, DNA repair, detoxification, neurotransmitter production, and more.
Armed with this knowledge, you can make informed choices about your lifestyle and wellness efforts to support your methylation pathways and enhance your overall health and longevity.

Nutrition Reports.
The StrideDNA Nutrition Report focuses on the genetic variants that influence micronutrient (vitamins & minerals) and macronutrient (carbs & fats) needs and can help define any sensitivities or intolerances that you may have.
These variants can affect your body's predisposition to coeliac disease or lactose intolerance, as well as its requirements for specific nutrients over and above RDAs.
Armed with this information, you can tailor your meals and general diet to suit your unique needs and optimise your nutrient absorption to feel your best every day.

Fitness Reports.
The StrideDNA Fitness Report reveals the genetic variants that affect your response to exercise intensity, training type, exercise-related injuries and more.
This comprehensive information serves as the compass guiding your fitness journey: with it, you can ensure that your training regimen is targeted and efficient, leading to optimal results aligned with your specific fitness targets.
Genetics shouldn't be used to determine your fitness goals; your results should be used to ensure you take the most personalised path to achieving them!

Sleep & Stress Reports.
Your StrideDNA Sleep and Stress Report delves into the genetic factors influencing your sleep patterns and stress coping mechanisms.
Your results will uncover your genetic tendency towards being a morning lark or a night owl, shedding light on whether you are naturally more productive in the morning or evening. Additionally, this report provides insights into how your genetic makeup impacts your ability to have high quality sleep, or cope with stress effectively.
With this information, you can strategically tailor your daily routines, optimise your sleep schedule, and implement stress management techniques that align with your DNA.

Skin Reports.
The StrideDNA Skin Report delves into the nuanced interplay of genetic factors that shape your skin's distinct characteristics. From its appearance and elasticity to susceptibility to ageing and inflammation, your genes encode a blueprint that influences your skin's individuality.
This report examines how external factors like diet, lifestyle choices and sun exposure interact with your genetic makeup, further influencing your skin's health and resilience.
Empowered by these insights, you can tailor your skincare routine to align with your unique needs, addressing specific concerns and optimising your skin's response to environmental factors.

I thought it was so interesting and confirmed many things I already thought about myself but that doctors refused to look into. I took some of the recommendations and I am already starting to feel better. Highly recommend. The report was easy to read and I will definitely do again next year to see if I am improving.

What makes methylation important for health?
Methylation is crucial for numerous body processes, including gene expression, energy production, fat metabolism, immune responses, detoxification, and neurotransmitter regulation. Proper methylation supports overall health, personalises nutritional choices and supplements, and helps prevent various chronic conditions.
How do genetic mutations affect methylation?
Genetic mutations, such as those in the MTHFR gene, can impair methylation, affecting the body's ability to convert nutrients effectively (e.g. folate). This can lead to issues like impaired immunity, fatigue, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and mood disorders.
How do I get started with StrideDNA?
To get started with StrideDNA, choose your genetic insight level (Methylation only, Methylation + Nutrigenetic, or Methylation, Nutrigenetic, Fitness, Sleep + Stress, Skin Reports) and order your StrideDNA test kit. After returning your sample using the prepaid mailer, you'll receive your results and personalised health reports within 10 days.

Why is the AHCY gene not included in Stride's Methylation report?
We rigorously select the genes included in our reports, each requiring evidence from human studies, reproducibility, and relevance to modifiable lifestyle changes. The AHCY gene, while important in certain contexts, is not included in our report for the following reasons:
Benign Variants: Two of the primary SNPs associated with the AHCY gene, rs41301825 and rs13043752, are now regarded as benign and have no significant effect. Additionally, these risk alleles are quite rare, with frequencies of 0.6% and 1.9% respectively, making them less relevant for the majority of our users.
Extremely Rare Mutation: The third variant, rs121918608, is not a typical SNP but rather a rare mutation associated with serious health conditions, including hypermethioninemia and severe developmental delays. Due to its rarity and the severity of its consequences, it is not suitable for inclusion in our reports.
Our goal is to provide genetic insights that are both meaningful and applicable to a broad audience. Including variants that are either benign or extremely rare with serious health implications would not align with our mission to deliver actionable and relevant information to our users.
Does Stride provide DNA testing for individuals under 18?
No, Stride does not provide DNA testing services for individuals under the age of 18. By placing a StrideDNA test order, activating a StrideDNA test, or accepting treatment, you confirm that you are the individual being tested, and that you are over 18 years old. If you have any questions about our services or need assistance, please feel free to contact our support team.
