Living DNA is one of the worlds leading personal genomics companies with the focus of using DNA testing to help transform lives.
What inspires us
The separation between people & countries is at the highest its ever been. Our health systems are nearing bankruptcy yet 80% of illness and disease is preventable and lifestyle-related. What if we could change that? What if through the power of DNA and the way it's delivered we are able to re-connect with ourselves and each other. What if as a result, we start to live a more enriched and healthy life? We see that as more than possible.
