We all know that eating a balanced diet is important for our health.  Still, each year, millions of people use weight loss products, slimming aids, plans and diets that just can’t be maintained. Understanding your genetics is the key to having a safe, sustainable diet that is tailored for your individual needs and how you respond to certain food groups.  Your unique genetic code can give you answers to important dietary and nutritional questions, such as:

 

Are you extra sensitive to weight gain with simple carbohydrate intake?

Should your fat intake be lowered, or even increased?

How well do you use protein?

Will unsaturated fats actually decrease your fat mass, even if your calories increase?

You will be provided with a prepaid Royal Mail tracked return label in your saliva collection kit to return your sample for analysis.  We recommend you take a note of this tracking number in the event your sample is not received.  In the event that your sample is lost in transit, Muhdo is happy to send you a replacement kit free of charge. 

All Muhdo’s customers’ genetic data is triple locked. First  their customers are anonymous in the database. Each customer is given a unique ID number, it is only with this code that the customer can unlock their data, and have it displayed on their private health dashboard. Secondly all customer data is encrypted throughout the data journey. So, if anyone were to capture Muhdo’s data it would be both anonymous and encrypted. Thirdly, they store customer genetic data on their secure AWS servers. Finally, Muhdo are compliant with the highly stringent European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

Unfortunately it is not possible to claim the cost of this home testing kit back from Medicash, or any other paid services purchased from Muhdo. As a Medicash policyholder, you are however getting access to a significant saving on the above package.

Your biological age is a true reflection of your inner health and can vary from your chronological age. Discover your true age and find out ways to improve it so your inner self stays youthful.

Your eye cells can age at a different rate to other cells in your body. Epigenetics gives us the tools to calculate how your eyes are ageing and how to keep them as healthy as they can be.

There are ever increasing links between ageing and memory loss or more serious brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. Taking steps to improve your memory will play an important part in our lives as we grow older.

Hearing loss and ageing of the ear is unfortunately a natural process, which can also be accelerated by a variety of environmental factors from prescription drugs to over exposure to noise, as well as having a certain genetic component.

Inflammation can be somewhat of a double edged sword; in one instance it is required by the body to help promote tissue repair and recovery as well as fighting off nasty bugs and viruses.
