How DNA Testing Is Personalising Wellness
The Future of Wellness With advances in technology, healthcare is shifting from a reactive to a proactive approach – focusing on prevention and personalisation.
DNA testing lies at the forefront of this change – unlocking insights into genetic predispositions that influence everything from metabolism to skin health.
Rather than relying on generic advice, individuals can now make data-driven lifestyle choices tailored to their unique genetic profile – ushering in a new era of health optimisation.
The Science Behind It
DNA, part of the Smart DNA offerings at Smart Salem, acts as the body's blueprint, containing genes that determine how our bodies function. While every person's DNA is unique, subtle genetic variations, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), can significantly influence individual health outcomes skin characteristics and how we age.
By analysing these markers, healthcare professionals can identify genetic predispositions to health issues and provide targeted recommendations for the most effective treatments and lifestyle adaptations for long-term health and wellness.
The role of AI
AI is revolutionising DNA analysis by processing vast amounts of genetic data quickly and accurately. It can effectively cross-reference genetic markers with current research, ensuring that recommendations remain up-to-date and relevant.
As more individuals undergo testing, AI systems learn to identify patterns – refining their analyses for even more accurate results.
Personalised Wellness
DNA testing provides actionable insights that empower individuals to address key aspects of their health and lifestyle with precision.

Targeted Skincare: DNA analysis identifies genetic factors that influence your skin health including acne susceptibility, hormonal imbalances, skin inflammation, and treatment responses. See more at Smart Salem’s Smart DNA Acne Profile.
-
This allows individuals to select products with the most effective ingredients for them, such as niacinamide or aloe vera, to combat acne or irritation successfully.
-
Ageing Insights: Telomerase DNA testing delivers insights into an individual’s cellular ageing process based on teloemore length and activity, providing an estimate of ‘biological age’. Based on this information people can make lifestyle adaptations to maintain and improve cellular health, slowing down the ageing process. See more at Smart Salem’s Smart DNA Age Well Package.
