iDNA Health in Stirling is a standout clinic when it comes to clinical genetics. They’ve been around for nearly a decade, with DNA tests that cover almost everything, from diet and fitness to medication responses and chronic disease risks.

A key reason why they’re one of my strongest picks is their personalised programs that aim to improve your health. Using an in-depth DNA analysis, they can formulate a customised treatment plan that covers the most optimal nutritional and lifestyle habits you can follow.

They also offer comprehensive health report packages that let you access a huge chunk of their tests for a single price. You can use these packages to learn more about any potential issues your body might have, like autoimmune diseases.

Sadly, they’re strictly an appointment-only business. You’ll need to book days in advance to access their services.

To say this testing is life changing would be an understatement

“To say this testing is life changing would be an understatement. I can’t thank Elly enough for helping myself and my husband to feel so much better. Elly made the whole diet change so much easier and less daunting, by finding healthy alternatives to our favourite foods. She has a kind, no judgement approach and is so supportive through this lifestyle change. I have told so many people about iDNA and highly recommended them to everyone who is having challenges with gut health or inflammation.”

I’m sure this will be the future of medicine

“I’m so happy with the work done by Sharon and Elly! After I found out about my food intolerance, Elly was able to replace things I used to eat with much healthier ones and with the same tastes. It may be hard to believe, but some of them taste even better. I was able to see and feel the results after a couple days. I’m sure this will be the future of medicine and the work iDNA is doing is amazing! Thanks so much Elly, Sharon and the whole team!!!”

Founded in 2005, DNA Bioservices has become one of Perth’s most trusted DNA testing clinics. They’re best known for their partnership with DNA Diagnostics Centre (DDC), one of the world’s largest and most accredited labs.

For me, the best thing they got from this partnership is the rich variety of DNA tests they offer, including ancestry, food sensitivity, and skin care testing.

I should also mention that, as a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA)-accredited institution, they’re one of the few clinics in the city that can provide the NATA Legal Paternity Test.

Unlike your usual paternity test, this one is done for legal purposes and follows a strict chain of custody to prevent evidence tampering. 

You can learn more about their tests by calling them through their 24/7 helpline. Just be prepared to redial, as they sometimes fail to answer the phone.

The attention shown by DNA Bioservices is very much appreciated

“Thank you to Georgie at DNA Bioservices for helping me work through a difficult time. She was available out of normal hours, empathetic, forthcoming and understanding. Users of this service can be in a delicate state, the attention shown by DNA Bioservices is very much appreciated.”

Life X DNA is a top-notch DNA testing clinic that’s been making waves with its innovative approach to genetic testing. They offer a wide range of tests that dive deep into your genetic traits, gut health, and even weight management.

A key advantage they have is their thoroughness in conducting their tests. In their tests, they screen for over 900,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 80 million DNA variants.

If that sounds a lot, that’s because it is. To ensure they can produce accurate results within a reasonable timeframe, Life X DNA uses artificial intelligence to help their specialists examine your genetic data and highlight any possible issues you might have.

However, their prices are quite high, so it’s a good idea to take advantage of their interest-free financing to lessen the blow to your finances.

Life X DNA gave me the tools I needed to address my health issues

“Life X DNA gave me the tools I needed to address my health issues. From the methylation supplements recommendations through to the reports they provide this is a very comprehensive and thorough analysis. My husband and I highly recommend them and their outstanding customer support. 6 stars”

The team has been absolutely awesome to deal with

“I had done a bit of research to find a company in Australia that conducted methylation testing. I came across LifexDNA and absolutely jagged, not only a comprehensive Methylation test but probably the most outstanding customer service for this type of test. The team has been absolutely awesome to deal with and the communication has been outstanding. I have been given all the info I need to start my journey in optimum health and longevity. You absolutely can’t sleep on this company, get around LifexDNA, worth every cent! Thank you!! 🙏”

For services that go beyond DNA tests, you can check out Private Genetics WA. Founded in 2018, they can do reproductive genetic testing, health screening, and genome sequencing tests.

And that’s just one side of the coin. As mentioned earlier, they offer other services as well, like clinical diagnostic sessions that are carried out by their geneticists to ensure patients fully understand their test results.

More importantly, they are well-versed in pharmacogenomics and can formulate a medication plan that best suits your body. Should you be diagnosed with a genetic condition, they have a social worker who can assist in obtaining National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funding.

However, please take note that their schedule tends to get fully booked quickly. You’ll need to book an appointment several days in advance to enjoy their services.

Could not recommend Private Genetics WA enough!

“Karen from Private genetics WA was so supportive throughout the whole experience. She welcomed us into a safe and friendly environment and was nothing but professional, knowledgeable and understanding. My partner and I were very happy with the overall experience and the turnaround was very quick. Could not recommend Private Genetics WA enough! Thank you Karen!”

If your family has a history of developing cancer, you might want to check out The Gene Council. Founded by Amy Pearn, it’s a top-notch DNA testing and counselling clinic that specialises in cancer genetics.

Amy, a cancer genetic services provider since 2005, can provide comprehensive DNA tests that look for cancer-related mutations. 

Should it be proven that you’re at high risk of developing cancer, she can use her local connections with cancer specialists to ensure you’ll get the best care.

Overall, her expertise in this field is certainly commendable. It’s made even better by the fact that she accepts after-hours appointments for a small additional fee.

If you can’t make the trip to her clinic, she offers telehealth services as well.

Sadly, Amy isn’t of much help outside of cancer genetics and might not be the best choice for those seeking DNA testing for other conditions.

The attention to service was excellent

“The attention to service was excellent, beyond what I expected, and the atmosphere was just right for this kind of interaction.”

-Mark Weeks, Google Reviews

The whole process was handled so well

“My wife recently had some genetic testing done, and the whole process was handled so well. We can highly recommend ‘The Gene Council’.”
