Why this exists

Mood and stress patterns often need more than one lens.

Many people arrive at this package after trying to improve their sleep, energy, stress tolerance or mood with general advice, only to feel that something is still being missed.

Instead of looking at methylation or cortisol in isolation, this package brings both together. Your genetic results provide long-term pathway context, while cortisol saliva testing helps show how your stress response may be presenting in real life.

Genetic context

Looks at selected genes involved in methylation, nutrient metabolism, neurotransmitter pathways, detoxification and stress response.

Stress hormone rhythm

Assesses cortisol across the day with DHEA-S context to help support a more complete stress picture.

Practitioner interpretation

Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, diet, supplements, lifestyle, medications and relevant pathology where supplied.

What makes this different

It connects inherited tendencies with current stress load.

A methylation report can be useful, but genes are not the full story. Cortisol patterns, lifestyle, nutrient status and current health context all influence how someone actually feels day to day.

1

Broader than a single MTHFR test

The methylation component reviews a wider set of genes and SNPs across folate, B12, choline, detoxification, mood, hormones, inflammation and energy pathways.

2

Includes cortisol rhythm context

The saliva test looks at cortisol across the day, helping provide context around morning drive, afternoon dips, evening wind-down and stress load.

3

Built for guided next steps

Your consultation helps translate complex findings into practical food, lifestyle, nutrient and supplement considerations where appropriate.

Who it may suit

Often useful when mood, energy and stress feel hard to separate.

This package may suit people who want a deeper practitioner-led look at stress resilience, nervous system patterns, nutrient demand and methylation pathways.

Low mood, emotional overwhelm or reduced stress tolerance
Feeling wired but tired, especially later in the day
Poor sleep, difficulty switching off or unrefreshing rest
Brain fog, low motivation or reliance on caffeine
Ongoing fatigue despite trying to eat well
PMS, cycle changes or hormone-related stress patterns
Recurring nutrient insufficiencies or supplement confusion
A desire for more personalised guidance than generic advice
What this package looks at

A more complete view across methylation, stress hormones and nutrition pathways.

The aim is not to reduce your health to a single gene or marker. The value comes from seeing patterns across several areas and interpreting them in context.

Methylation and folate

Selected genes involved in methylation, folate use, B vitamin pathways and related nutrient demand.

MTHFR MTR MTRR BHMT

Mood and neurotransmitters

Genetic pathways that may influence neurotransmitter metabolism, stress sensitivity and cognitive tendencies.

COMT MAOA BDNF SLC6A4

Cortisol rhythm

Saliva samples across the day provide insight into cortisol patterning from morning through evening.

6 to 8am Noon 4pm 8pm

DHEA-S context

DHEA-S is included as part of the stress hormone picture and can add context to cortisol interpretation.

DHEA-S Stress response Hormone context

Detoxification and antioxidants

Selected genes linked with oxidative stress, detoxification pathways and antioxidant support needs.

GSTM1 GSTP1 SOD2 GPX1

Nutrients and metabolism

Pathways related to vitamin D, fatty acid metabolism, caffeine response, B vitamins and nutrient processing.

VDR FADS1 FUT2 CYP1A2

Hormones and inflammation

Selected genetic patterns that may be relevant to hormone metabolism, inflammatory tendencies and immune context.

CYP19A1 ESR1 IL6 TNF

Cardio and performance

Genetic areas linked with cardiovascular tendencies, exercise response, blood flow, recovery and performance context.

APOE NOS3 ACE ACTN3
Connecting the dots

Mood, fatigue and stress resilience are rarely explained by one thing.

This package is designed to bring together several pieces of the picture so your recommendations can be more targeted and less based on guesswork.

Stress load and cortisol

Low energy, poor sleep or feeling wired at night may need to be interpreted alongside daily cortisol rhythm and real-life stress demand.

Nutrient demand and methylation

Genetic methylation patterns may help explain why certain nutrients, forms or doses need to be considered more carefully.

Symptoms and lived context

Your results are considered alongside diet, medication use, supplement history, bloodwork, sleep, training load and health goals.

Practitioner guidance

The value is in the interpretation, not just the data.

Genetic and cortisol results can be detailed, and sometimes overwhelming. A practitioner consultation helps sort what matters, what needs context and what practical next steps are most relevant for you.

1

Personalised interpretation

Your results are reviewed alongside symptoms, health history, current diet, medications, supplements, lifestyle and goals.

2

Targeted nutrition strategy

Recommendations can include food priorities, nutrient focus areas, bloodwork to consider and lifestyle support for stress resilience.

3

Supplement guidance where appropriate

Supplement suggestions are considered carefully and are based on the full picture, not one gene, one cortisol result or generic protocols.

Methylation & Mood Package FAQs

What is the Methylation & Mood Package?

The Methylation & Mood Package combines a comprehensive Genetic Methylation Test with the NutriPATH Adrenocortex Stress Profile Basic cortisol saliva test and a 75-minute practitioner consultation. It is designed to support a more personalised look at mood, stress, sleep, energy and nutrient patterns.

What tests are included?

The package includes a comprehensive Genetic Methylation Test reviewing 92 genes and 113 SNPs, plus the NutriPATH Adrenocortex Stress Profile Basic, cortisol saliva test, code 1001.

How is cortisol measured?

The cortisol saliva test uses four saliva samples collected across the day, commonly including morning, noon, afternoon and evening collection points. DHEA-S is also included as part of the profile.

Who may this package suit?

It may suit people experiencing patterns such as low mood, emotional overwhelm, poor sleep, fatigue, brain fog, stress sensitivity, PMS, or recurring nutrient concerns. It is also suited to people who want a more guided approach than a standalone test report.

Is this the same as ordering a methylation test?

No. This package includes the broader genetic methylation test, but it also includes cortisol saliva testing and a longer practitioner consultation. The aim is to connect genetic tendencies with current stress hormone patterns and real-world symptoms.

What does the consultation include?

Your 75-minute telehealth consultation reviews your results alongside symptoms, health history, diet, lifestyle, supplements, medications and relevant bloodwork where supplied. You will receive personalised nutrition, lifestyle and supplement considerations where appropriate.

How long do results take?

Timing can vary between tests and laboratories. NutriPATH lists the cortisol saliva test turnaround as an estimated 3 to 5 business days once the sample is received by the lab. Genetic testing timing may vary, and you will be guided through the process after ordering.

Do I need a GP referral?

No separate GP referral is usually required to order this package through Wellbeing George. Results should still be interpreted alongside your broader health context, and this package does not replace care from your GP, specialist or other healthcare provider.

Is this diagnostic?

No. This package is intended to support personalised nutrition and wellness guidance. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease and does not replace medical advice or pathology interpretation from your doctor.
