About Helix
The DNA Decoder is a small organisation of wellness professionals offering personalised services and products related to genomic wellness. We interpret the 23&Me genetic profiles in an easy to understand format that helps our clients recognise their predispositions for specific domains of wellness, such as inflammation, detoxification and energy metabolism. There is a lot of information online about genetic variants and supplements. It’s overwhelming and confusing, even using the interpretation reports offered by other organisations. We are committed to fully researching each variant in our reports and keeping on top of the research into wellness variants and nutrigenomics. If we can’t find evidence that a variant makes a difference to your health, we don’t include it (unlike our competitors). Apart from our interpretation report (Explore Report) we offer nutrition and lifestyle strategies along with specific programs for wellness, SlimGenes and CalmGenes. Dr Elvira Zilliacus is the owner and genetic counsellor for DNA Decoder. She is supported by her Operations Manager, Peter White PhD.
