Every cellular process in your body is instructed by the 22,000 genes that make up your genetic code. Our nutrition, lifestyle and environmental decisions impact our genetic function. Decode your genes so you can make the right choices.

I am thrilled to be a proud ambassador of The DNA Company South Africa. It is with great excitement that I share the groundbreaking news of our launch of the industry’s foremost authoritative functional genomic testing through our esteemed organization.

My name is Lynn Angel, CFGP, FBA, WCCM. I am a Certified Functional Genomics Practitioner, a Specialised Kinesiologist, member of ASKSA and a fellow native South African.

I have joined forces with The DNA Company to change the way clients and patients view and experience healthcare. We are doing this by providing cutting-edge solutions that delve deep into the intricacies of individual genetic makeup.

Our functional genomic testing goes beyond traditional genetic analysis, offering a comprehensive understanding of how genes interact and influence overall health by looking at specific pathways in the body that govern our mood and behavior, sleep, cardiovascular, diet and nutrition, immunity and longevity.

Lifestyle diseases, also known as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are preventable conditions primarily caused by unhealthy behaviors, habits and lifestyle choices. In South Africa, as in many other countries, several lifestyle diseases contribute significantly to the overall health burden. Here are nine notable lifestyle diseases in South Africa:

  • Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs): Heart disease and stroke are major contributors to morbidity and mortality in South Africa. Risk factors include poor diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption.
  • Type 2 Diabetes: The prevalence of diabetes is rising in South Africa, largely due to factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and poor dietary habits.
  • Obesity: Obesity is a significant risk factor for various other lifestyle diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers.
  • Unhealthy diets and a lack of physical activity contribute to the high prevalence of obesity in South Africa.
  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Hypertension is widespread in South Africa, often linked to lifestyle factors such as a high-salt diet, lack of exercise, and obesity.
  • Respiratory Diseases (e.g., Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – COPD): Smoking, exposure to air pollution, and occupational hazards contribute to respiratory diseases, which pose a substantial health challenge in South Africa.
  • Cancer: Various forms of cancer, including lung, breast, and colorectal cancer, are influenced by lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor diet, and lack of physical activity.
  • Mental Health Disorders: Mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety, are on the rise in South Africa. Stress, lifestyle pressures, and societal factors contribute to the mental health burden.
  • Chronic Kidney Disease: Uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension contribute to the increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease in South Africa, placing an additional burden on healthcare resources.

Without the key to unlocking your specific genetic code, addressing these lifestyle diseases would be all guesswork. Using a precision medicine approach to direct healthier lifestyles, regular exercise, and balanced diets and in order to reverse and prevent these diseases, one can guarantee greater success.

Our coaching programs offer true virtual care sessions with a Certified Functional Genomics clinician and other in-house wellness and medical experts.

These innovative coaching programs allow individuals to make informed decisions about their well-being based on personalized insights derived from their unique genetic code.

“I was a very healthy individual, but once I hit 60 years old everything changed with my health. And in my quest for answers that my doctor could not provide I discovered The DNA Company while listening to the Dr. Gundry podcast. So I purchased a DNA test and have been very pleased with the knowledge it armed me with. I was able to better understand my changing health. ”

“I understand myself in ways I never imagined. I finally get why I react the way I do and what I need to do to feel better. There's so much stuff out there in the health and wellness world, and it's honestly overwhelming! But I realized that any action plan must begin with learning how my body uniquely works. I'm now selective and precise about what I need to do to feel my best.”

“ I finally found answers to why so many things I tried, including medication, did not work. My body does not do well with carbs and the pain and inflammation caused by them was having a detrimental effect so much that sometimes I could barely move. Because of the DNA results I have eliminated or severely reduced simple carbs from my diet. After only three weeks my pain level has been reduced by about half, my stomach issues have subsided, and my clothes fit better.”

“I have gone to multiple functional MDs through the years and had many tests. This test provided so much clarity for my health I am absolutely blown away by all the useful information I obtained. It honestly will save me so much money on supplements that were not what my body needed. This test has made such a positive change in my health that I have told my entire family they need to do it. ”
