DNA Testing for Brain Health & Resilience in Cape Town

NeuroVita uses DNAlysis panels to identify the genetic patterns that influence how you think, feel, and age, and translates the results into a personalised plan you can act on.

Practitioner-guided genetic testing, clinically interpreted

DNA testing at NeuroVita adds a deeper layer of personalisation to your brain health plan. We use selected DNAlysis panels — primarily DNA Mind and DNA Resilience, and DNA Core — to identify genetic tendencies that may influence Alzheimer’s risk, mood, stress resilience, cognitive decline risk, inflammation, methylation, dopamine and serotonin pathways, and broader nutrition and lifestyle needs.

The process is practitioner-guided from start to finish. Matt interprets the report in the context of your symptoms, goals and brain health picture — turning genetic data into a personalised plan you can actually act on. This is meaningfully different from direct-to-consumer testing. Services like 23andMe are built for curiosity. NeuroVita’s DNA testing is built for application.

DNA testing is usually best used as a deeper personalisation layer alongside, or after, the NeuroVitals Assessment.

What’s involved

Who it’s for

People with a family history of cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s, mood disorders or addiction, or those who want to be more proactive with prevention.
Clients who are struggling with stress sensitivity, low resilience, mood instability, poor focus or cognitive performance and want more personalised insight.
High-performing individuals who want to understand how their genetics may be shaping focus, stress response, motivation and long-term brain health.
People who want a more precise diet, supplement and lifestyle plan instead of relying on trial and error.

What you leave with

You leave with a clinical reading of your genetic strengths and vulnerabilities — where you’re well-defended, and where you may need more support. You also leave with personalised recommendations across nutrition, supplements, exercise, stress management and lifestyle, and better precision around how to support mood, resilience, cognition and long-term brain health. Less guesswork, and a more targeted basis for the decisions that follow.

DNA testing gives you genetic precision. The NeuroVitals Assessment gives you the brain health context to use it well.

  I went for 10 sessions of HBOTT to help speed up the recovery process after surgery. I could not recommend these sessions any more to anyone post surgery looking to speed up the healing process! I could feel after each session a huge difference in my energy and over all wellbeing not to mention how well I sleep when I am doing the HBOt

  I recently completed a brain health journey with NeuroVita and was highly impressed with the depth and quality of the experience. The programme included a NeuroVitals Assessment, DNAMind genetic analysis, personalised supplement protocol, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). Each component felt tailored and designed to provide meaningful insight into brain health and cognitive wellbeing. From the outset, Geraldine and Matthew delivered a highly professional and welcoming experience, with exceptional ability to translate complex neuroscience into practical, actionable guidance. What stood out most was the clarity it created—simple, actionable strategies to support brain health in everyday life. Through implementation of the recommendations, HBOT, and supplement protocol, I’ve noticed more consistent physical and mental energy, along with improved calm resilience. I would highly recommend NeuroVita to anyone interested in brain health optimisation, longevity, and proactive cognitive wellbeing. The insights I gained feel like a valuable long-term investment in health.

  Neurovita is a sanctuary for health and wellness. My journey with this extraordinary clinic has made me reassess a lot of what I put into my body not only for general wellness but for my health. Matthew and Geraldine have created a space which is welcoming and nurturing. Going to Neuorovita has been a complete game changer for me in terms of my health and wellness journey. We only have one body and one life, so this is my investment to myself- my brain, my heart and my overall wellbeing. A world class service and facility. I cannot recommend this beautiful space more.

  I went for a brain analysis at NeuroVita and was so impressed with how they handled it and the thorough feedback i was given. When I paired that info with the correct vitamins my health started to sky rocket. After a couple of H-Bot sessions I completely feel like I am in my prime again. Sharp but calm, focussed yet relaxed. As far as investing in your health goes, this is a must!

  I booked and assessment with Matt, so informative and gave such great insight into how my brain works. As someone who has had anxiety and overthinking, and feeling like I’m always at fault, or not good enough. The insight has made me see it’s the type of brain not who I am at my core. When our brains can work optimally we live a healthier and better life. As I’m reaching my 40’s and a lot of change over the years, my aim is to live with intention and live the best life I can. I absolutely loved getting the feedback and can’t wait to see the plan Matt has for me going forward. On my list to do is the HBOT and the head peice.

  I learned about NeuroVita through a friend and out of curiosity booked a few appointments.  I thought why not give some attention to my brain! Little did I know that I would stumble into a moment of awakening regarding my brain health, and choosing to honor it was probably the greatest gift. Working with Matt and doing the NeuroVitals assessment was the first step to understanding where I was and what I could do in order to improve or enhance my energy, sleep patterns, mood, emotions, anxiety, etc. Doing the assessment is an important tool to gain insights on the workings of your brain and to devise a plan of action to allow it to work better. The sessions in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber are the best gift to your brain and overall health, each session being a calming and soothing hour for yourself, having a deep feeling you are taking care of yourself. I highly recommend NeuroVita. The attention is personalised and truly focused on your needs. The environment at the NeuroVita offices is safe, comfortable and friendly, and the location central, beautiful and easy to get to. We can infinitely benefit from paying more attention to our brain. Thank you NeuroVita!

  I’ve yet to come across something of this nature in South Africa and am grateful to have been introduced to Matt. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and easy to engage with. Our session was personal and very insightful. I look forward to implementing a plan of action.
