Independent editorial on DNA methylation testing — the science, the genes, and how to act on your results.
Methylation testing is growing rapidly — but is it backed by solid science or mostly marketing? We look at what the research actually supports, where the evidence is strong, and where scepticism is warranted.
MTHFR is the most commonly tested gene in methylation panels — and the most misunderstood. Here's what C677T and A1298C actually mean, how they affect your cardiovascular and neurological health, and what to do if you carry them.
Looking for a methylation DNA test you can order in the UK? This guide covers the best providers available to UK customers in 2026 — comparing genes analysed, lab location, turnaround, price, and what each test is best for.
Stride, GetTested, TruDiagnostic, and 10X Health all had Black Friday deals in 2024. Here's how the discounts stacked up, what you actually got for the price, and which deal represented the best value for your health investment.
Four of the most popular methylation DNA tests compared head-to-head: genes analysed, reports, turnaround time, expert support, and price. Here's what the data says — and which test comes out on top.
DNA methylation markers are the specific genetic variants that shape how efficiently your body carries out methylation — affecting everything from cardiovascular risk to mood, energy, and detoxification. Here's what the key markers are, what they mean, and how to use that knowledge.
Genetic testing has transformed how we take control of our health. By identifying the specific DNA variations that affect how well your body methylates, you can make targeted decisions about nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle — before problems arise. Here's what methylation is, which genes matter, and how to act on the results.
Methylation is the molecular dimmer switch that controls which of your genes are active and which stay silent. Understanding how it works — and what happens when it doesn't — is one of the most practical things you can do for your long-term health.
Methylation testing and epigenetic testing are often confused — but they answer completely different questions. One shows your permanent genetic wiring; the other shows how that wiring is behaving right now. Choosing the wrong one means getting answers to questions you weren't asking.
DNA methylation analysis looks beyond your genetic sequence to show how your genes are actually being regulated. Understanding what a methylation test analyses — and what the results mean for cardiovascular health, neurological risk, and ageing — helps you get far more from your results.
