In one of the more scientific methods to understanding ones health, we invite you to discover the benefits of nutrigenomics.
In the face of rising costs, it is interesting to note that the cost of testing your own DNA in South Africa has actually decreased since it first appeared around 2008. Today, it has become mainstream in most major cities around the world, where your genes are at the forefront in managing ones health.
Willow Wellness is excited to now include DNA testing in the products we have on offer, to our retail clients on this website. These tests look at the relationship between your personal genetics, nutrition and supplementation, and can help you understand your own health and therefore make better choices.
Your selected test could be based on your or your family’s current or long-term health concerns, your personal health goals, on aesthetics, your profession or on your pastime eg sport. Consider all of these to decide which of our tests would best serve you.
Once you have ordered your test, the simple, well-explained test kit will be delivered to your door. Our accredited practitioner will brief you telephonically on the best time to sample, and answer any remaining questions you may have regarding the procedure.
The completed sample will then be collected by our courier and delivered to the testing lab. Your own genetic results will be available in a minimum of 21 working days, along with a supplement plan catering for your personal possible health issues going forward.
This proactive approach to your wellness could be the solution to your unanswered health questions, so why wait? Select the panel most suited to you, and start your wellness journey with us today!
For the past 10 years, I have truly struggled with just not feeling okay. I have experienced weight gain, brain fog, mood swings, permanent exhaustion, and an overall sense of being "broken." Despite numerous visits, doctors told me I was fine and that it was probably all in my head, offering various medications as solutions. I have tried countless wellness supplements and diets, all to no effect and at very high costs.
Given my mother's history with breast cancer, I had been reading up on DNA testing for diseases and felt it was something worth looking into. A friend advised me that Healthwise on Main Road in Walmer (Port Elizabeth) facilitates DNA tests. Curious, I visited the shop and had the great pleasure of meeting Tandy. I decided to undergo four DNA tests—Hormones, Health, Activity, and Resilience.
The reports I received were quite comprehensive, and I highly recommend having Tandy explain them to you. This was the key—Tandy made everything so simple and easy to understand, and believe me, she puts so much passion and effort into each one of your reports. The results have been life-changing for me. For the first time in my life, I truly understand my body and what I should and should not be doing.
I am finally seeing results in my overall health. I have lost over 8 kilograms and am still going strong. The Willow supplements recommended to me are incredible. My mood, energy, and overall sense of wellbeing have been restored. The lifestyle changes I have made have not been difficult at all because they are right for my unique DNA.
If you want to understand your body and have the tools to improve your health and wellbeing, I can 100% recommend Healthwise in Walmer, and more specifically, Tandy—she is amazing!
I was on medication for cholesterol, gout and blood pressure.
I suffered from a great deal of pain in my legs especially my calves, possibly resulting from the gout.
Upon receiving my Medcheck gene test results, they showed that the cholesterol medication I was taking was clearly contra indicated for anyone with my particular genes, which made me “high risk” for the potential side effects for this drug. The side effect was Myopathy, which was showing up as muscle stiffness, cramps and sometimes fatigue.
Based on this report I changed my cholesterol drug for a natural statin-like supplement and was really pleased to see that within 10 days my muscles were almost free of stiffness and pain, and my walking was 80% easier.
Stop the guessing game concerning your health, with DNA testing you can see for sure and understand your health issues!! This saves so much money and concern in the long run!!
The test is so quick and easy and although the results and report are very complex to understand, the guidance and wisdom shared from Tandy is superb. I highly recommend these tests for anyone who is interested in taking their health seriously and getting scientific answers!!
