Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Quick access to blood tests

BLOODY GOOD is a very efficient route to access blood testing for a visitor outside the Australian health system. It is quick with the necessary referral and documentation, and quick with results. Thank you

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

Methylation is one of the body’s most vital biochemical processes. Efficient methylation supports balanced neurotransmitters, healthy DNA expression, energy production, hormone metabolism, and optimal cellular repair. When methylation is suboptimal, these processes can become sluggish, affecting mood, focus, energy, and resilience.

The Genetic Methylation Test analyses specific genetic variants in enzymes such as MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, COMT, BHMT, and related pathways to assess how effectively your body can generate and recycle methyl groups. This provides valuable insight into how your body activates key biological processes.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals seeking personalised health optimisation, those with complex health issues, people wanting genetically-based nutrition and fitness guidance, or anyone interested in precision medicine approaches to wellness.

Understanding your unique methylation profile can help you and your practitioner:
- Personalise nutritional and lifestyle recommendations to improve methylation efficiency.
- Identify whether you may benefit from tailored support with folate, B12, B6, or other cofactors.
- Gain clarity on contributors to fatigue, brain fog, low mood, or hormone imbalance.
- Optimise cellular repair, genetic expression, and long-term health.
- Empower your understanding of your body’s unique biochemistry.

This test is suitable for anyone interested in functional health optimisation or those experiencing symptoms related to methylation inefficiency and genetic variations.

Questions

  • This test focuses on health-related genetic variants that affect how your body functions, rather than ancestry. It provides actionable health insights for personalized wellness strategies.
  • Methylation is the process of adding a small chemical tag — a methyl group — to molecules in the body. This is how your body activates or regulates many essential functions, from brain chemistry to hormone balance.
  • This test is a buccal (cheek) swab used for DNA analysis. No blood draw is required.
  • No. Because this is a genetic test, your results are determined by your DNA and are not influenced by vitamins, supplements, or medications.
  • Your report highlights genetic tendencies that may influence methylation efficiency. Supplement and nutrition plans are best developed with your health practitioner, considering your broader health context.
  • Some genetic variants affect drug metabolism, but medication changes should only be made with healthcare provider guidance. The test provides information to discuss with your doctor.
  • No. While methylation can influence certain detox pathways, this test specifically analyses methylation-related genes only.
  • Results are typically available within 2–3 weeks after the laboratory receives your sample.
  • Recommendations are based on peer-reviewed research linking genetic variants to health outcomes. However, genetics is one factor among many affecting health, and recommendations should complement comprehensive healthcare.
  • This test identifies genetic predispositions and optimization opportunities but doesn't diagnose diseases. It's designed for health optimization rather than medical diagnosis.
  • Your genetics don't change, so retesting isn't necessary. However, interpretation may evolve as research advances, and periodic report updates may be available.
  • Yes, the comprehensive report is designed to be shared with healthcare providers to support personalized medicine approaches and informed health decisions.

How to prepare

No special preparation is required. For 30 minutes before sample collection, avoid eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing gum. Collect buccal cells using the provided kit according to instructions for your gene test. No medications need to be discontinued. Store the sample properly and ship promptly for optimal DNA quality.

After the test

Once you receive your results, you should speak with a health professional to provide:
- Personalised recommendations to optimise methylation efficiency.
- Nutritional and lifestyle strategies tailored to your genetic profile.
- Guidance on maintaining methylation balance through diet, stress management, and nutrient support.

This report will become a valuable reference for long-term functional health optimisation, including insights into homocysteine levels.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Your comprehensive report provides genetic analysis across all tested categories and personalised recommendations for diet, supplements, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Results include genetic strengths, areas needing support, and specific interventions tailored to each individual's genetic profile. Risk assessments and optimisation strategies are provided for each health category.

Your report will include:
- Genetic variants involved in the methylation pathway.
- Whether these variants may influence enzyme efficiency, impacting cardiovascular health.
- The functional implications for folate metabolism, methyl group recycling, and related processes.
- Personalised interpretation integrating your genetics with nutrition, symptoms, and lifestyle context.

Remember: genetics reveal potential tendencies, not fixed outcomes. Environment, diet, and lifestyle all influence how your genes express, so results should always be interpreted holistically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most collection centres accept walk-ins. Some may require a booking - check details when you click on your chosen location.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.

They’re the highly trained professionals who take your blood sample - with a steady hand and a sharp needle. They love blood, but don’t worry… they’re not vampires. Just legends who make blood tests quick, clean, and (almost) painless.

Some of our tests include Urine, Stool, Saliva and more. Each test will have a clear description on what sample you will need to give and instructions on how.
