New ZealandThe DNA of Living DNA
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.
Our Founders
David and Hannah Nicholson are passionate about helping the world understand the truth through science. Taking seemingly daunting topics and delivering them with simplicity, we can all grow and evolve together, with no person being left out. Through observation, awareness, and understanding, we can be empowered to live better lives.
