Your genes load the gun. Your environment pulls the trigger.

Every other test measures a moment. Your bloods reflect the last few weeks. Your hormones move across the month and across the decade. Your DNA does not move at all. What you learn from it at forty is still true at eighty.

That is not fatalism. A variant is a tendency, not a verdict. If you clear oestrogen slowly, or convert plant omega-3s poorly, or need more vitamin D than the person next to you, none of that shows up on a standard blood panel — and all of it is workable once you know.

I have trained in genetics and epigenetics for over a decade and worked with several testing platforms before settling on the one I use now. If you only ever do one test, do this one.

For over 25 years Lisa pushed the human body to its limit — 70,000km across the world’s most brutal ultra-endurance races. Then in 2016 her mother, Isobel, suffered a massive aneurysm and stroke. Doctors said there was no hope. Lisa refused to accept it, and through relentless research and advocacy, brought her back to a full life at home, where Isobel lived another ten years before she passed away in August 2026. That fight, and those years, rewired everything.

Now Lisa is a genetics practitioner and health optimisation coach, and co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Aevum Labs — the New Zealand longevity biotech behind Re:juvenate Pro, developed with scientific advisor Dr Elizabeth Yurth. As host of Pushing the Limits, with 430+ episodes and over 500,000 downloads, she has interviewed hundreds of the world’s leading longevity scientists and physicians. Everything she builds now answers one question: how do we not just live longer, but stay strong doing it?
