When you order a DNA test or combination of tests, this order will include an initial consultation with Carly (Registered Dietitian) to better get to know you and your needs, as well as 1, 2 or 3 feedback sessions (depending on the number of tests done) to adequately interpret and practically translate your genetic results into actionable interventions. Once you have sent in your blood spot DNA collection or cheek cell swab and had your initial consultation, you can expect to be contacted for feedback of your results within 4 weeks.
DNA Health:
An extremely comprehensive genetic test focused on preventative health care. We recommend always doing DNA Health with any combination of genetic tests when choosing to understand your unique genetics. The test identifies the genetic variations associated with chronic diseases of the lifestyle and looks at pathways including lipid metabolism, methylation, detoxification, inflammation, insulin resistance and bone health. The test also looks at areas of food responsiveness and vitamin requirements including caffeine sensitivity, iron overload, lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, salt sensitivity, omega 3 requirements as well as vitamin A, D, B12 and C requirements. From the DNA Health report, Carly can prescribe individualised supplementation protocols, dietary and lifestyle interventions to better manage your overall holistic health as well as help to manage and prevent the onset of disease.
DNA Diet:
This genetic test looks at the genes involved in weight management, weight loss resistance, carbohydrate and fat sensitivities, exercise responsiveness, circadian rhythms and weight loss, eating behaviour and appetite. From this test we can determine which type of eating plan will be best suited to your individual genotype for optimal weight loss outcomes (low carb, low fat or Mediterranean), what type and how much exercise is needed for weight loss as well as interventions to better manage eating behaviour and sleep. We recommend doing DNA Health alongside DNA Diet in order to get the best results.
DNA Mind:
This genetic test focusses on 3 major areas of mental health. Firstly, neurodegenerative diseases including mild cognitive impairment, dementia and late onset Alzheimer's disease. Secondly, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. And finally, addiction, not only to substances such as alcohol or nicotine, but at addictive behaviours such as adrenaline seeking behaviours or compulsive behaviours. From this test we can determine genetic predispositions to the above conditions, and relevant nutritional, supplemental and lifestyle management strategies to improve your overall environment and thus assist with management or prevention of the above-mentioned mental health conditions.
DNA Sport:
This genetic test focusses on optimizing athletic performance through nutrition, supplement and lifestyle interventions. We analyze genes involved in injury risk, recovery rate, power vs endurance potential, salt and caffeine sensitivity as well as optimal time of day to train.
DNA Oestrogen:
This genetic test takes an in depth look at the biological pathways; methylation, detoxification and oxidative stress which all are all deeply involved in metabolism and excretion of harmful oestrogen metabolites, quinones and free radicals, which if accumulated in the body increase the risk of certain cancers such as breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. From this test Carly can prescribe personalised supplement, nutrition and lifestyle advice to manage your risks and predispositions related to the above conditions.
DNA Skin:
This genetic test focusses on 18 different genes involved in skin aging. We look at genetic biological pathways such as firmness and elasticity, oxidative stress, skin sensitivity and detoxification, sun damage protection and repair, skin pigmentation as well as inflammation. The report assists with choosing the correct skin care ingredients and products to prevent accelerated skin ageing as well as nutritional interventions to support your skin from the inside out.
DNA Belly:
This exclusive LR genetic test focuses on important sections of DNA health, diet and sport and is aimed at assisting with optimizing training and exercise routines, improving health and vitality as well as weight management and in particular providing nutritional, exercise and lifestyle interventions that are aimed at losing stubborn abdominal fat.
DNA Resilience:
This genetic test is an exciting new launch from DNAlysis and it looks at the genes involved in adaptability and coping under high pressure and stressful conditions. Certain genetic neurochemical pathways that all impact how resilient one is predisposed to be are analyzed. These pathways include the stress axis, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, brain derived neurotrophic factor and more. The test is extremely insightful, especially given the ever-changing world we are all exposed to, and provides detailed lifestyle, supplement and dietary guidance on how to enhance any genetic advantages you may carry related to resilience as well as how to assist genetic weaknesses and thus make you more resilient and adaptable to change and stress in work, sport and life.
DNA Smile:
Did you know that your oral health is one of the best indicators of your systemic health? DNA Smile can give you insights into the state of your oral health and can help you mitigate risks and improve your health using gene-based, personalized, diet, nutraceutical, lifestyle, and oral health interventions.
DNA Ancestry:
This report looks at genetics involved in ancestry. Where does your genetic heritage and lineage come from? This report takes slightly longer (approximately 6 weeks) to attain results compared to the other tests as the DNA sample is sent overseas for analysis.
Medcheck:
Pharmacogenetics involves the science of pharmacology and genetics to provide personalized, gene-based prescribing decisions. This pharmacogenetic test assess genes involved in the absorption and metabolism of major classes of drugs, these drugs include cardiovascular disease medications, pain medications, psychiatric medications as well as oncology medications as an additional request. The test aims to identify genetic biomarkers that affect drug response and use them to better guide effective, safe therapies personalized to each individual. Medcheck may be for you if you are about to start a new medication, experiencing side effects from medication, not responding to certain medications or requiring dosages outside of recommended ranges. The test will highlight which drugs are likely to cause side effects, which may not have any therapeutic effect and which drugs would be safer alternatives.
Grow Baby:
Another new and extremely exciting test. Grow Baby is specifically designed for women trying to conceive and those already pregnant. This genetic test really individualizes dietary, lifestyle and supplemental recommendations to help to optimize health outcomes for mom and baby, not just during pregnancy and birth but for the long term. Outcomes analysed in Grow Baby include genetic risks of preterm birth, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, miscarriage, small for gestational age, large for gestational age, post-natal depression and most importantly, the report provides gene-based interventions to lessen or mitigate these genetic risks and predispositions. 
WEIGHT-LOSS BENEFITS:
- Enhances digestion and elimination, helping reduce bloating and clear toxins in your body.
- Stimulates your metabolism to burn more calories throughout the day. Rebounding also supports metabolism more than other forms of cardio. Longer cardio sessions are thought to hinder weight-loss efforts due to extended periods of "breathlessness" – which you don’t experience while rebounding.
- Lowers elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which often go hand in hand with weight.
- Reduces cellulite in just a few months by increasing your body’s lymphatic flow.
- Helps curb emotional eating. It does this by regulating your mood, providing feel- good hormones to prevent you eating when upset.
- Helps prevent and manage diabetes by lowering your blood sugar levels and improving the work of your insulin.
- Tightens your tummy by engaging your core in every movement. Rebounding also allows for many specific core moves.
- Is easy and portable. You can move your rebounder into any part of the house and use it whenever it suits you, with no commute.
- Can be used for burst training and HIIT, making it a more convenient way to get fit in a shorter amount of time.
- Has anti-inflammatory effects, thanks to the stimulation and draining of the lymphatic system.
- Increases self-confidence. Studies show that the simple act of exercise (rather than fitness from exercising) can help you believe that you look better.
- Strengthens the heart, by working the cardiovascular system.
- Helps circulate oxygen to tissues. If your tissues and cells do not get enough oxygen, every organ can be negatively impacted, especially the brain, heart, and kidneys.
- Aids lymphatic circulation. Your lymphatic and cardiovascular system work together to keep your blood and lymphatic fluid levels balanced and flush out toxins. Your lymphatic system also moves your immune cells throughout your body to create a defense against infections.
- Gives your body an increased G-force (or gravitational load). This improves your health and strengthens your musculoskeletal systems.
- Increases lung capacity.
- Lowers blood pressure. Rebounding helps your muscles contract, resulting in the rhythmic compression of veins and arteries. This helps move fluids more effectively through the body and back to the heart, helping to lower peripheral blood pressure.
- Increases stamina by boosting neurotransmitter production, which helps promote energy. Rebounding also increases endurance.
- Improves balance by increasing your brain’s responsiveness to the vestibular apparatus within the inner ear.
- Improves the immune system by stimulating the action of red bone marrow and supporting the repair of tissue.
- Improves the endocrine system by getting rid of excess hormones and toxins. Rebounding is also a great way to correct a hormone imbalance.
- Improves the effects of strength training. People who rebound for 30 seconds between each set of weight lifting typically see 25% more improvement in their muscles after 12 weeks than those who don't.
- Reduces your risk of chronic disease. Rebounding helps improve insulin sensitivity, heart health, and body composition while decreasing blood pressure and blood fat. These benefits prevent you from increasing belly fat, which can boost your risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and premature death.
- Gives you antioxidant protection and increases your blood flow, helping protect the internal structure of your skin and delay signs of ageing.
- Improves sleep quality. Regular rebounding can help you relax, get a higher quality of sleep and stimulate your recovery processes while you sleep.
- Can help you quit smoking by limiting the intensity of your cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
- Can lower a man's risk of erectile dysfunction or improve the sexual function of men who are already affected by erectile dysfunction. For women, exercise can help increase sexual arousal.
- Reduces the urge to ruminate. Exercises like rebounding help prevent people from ruminating on past negative events by altering the blood flow to the areas in the brain that trigger people to repeat stressful thoughts over and over.
- Fights fatigue. You may feel tired immediately after rebounding, but in the long- run, rebounding increases the strength that is needed to keep fatigue at bay.
- Helps maintain functional independence, when practised regularly for 30 minutes a day.
- Reduces risk of cancer. Exercises like rebounding help lower your risk for developing a variety of different types of cancer. Studies have shown a 30-40% reduction in occurrences of breast cancer among women who participate in regular exercise.
- Supports arthritis management. Rebounding helps lubricate the joints with little impact, helping reduce the pain and stiffness that comes with this disease.
- Helps alleviate sluggish digestion and constipation. Rebounding on a regular basis helps encourage digestive health and is an excellent “treatment” for people who suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort.
- Reduces the risk of developing dementia, which increases with a sedentary lifestyle.
- Increases bone density and strength, reducing the risk of developing osteoporosis and therefore bone fractures.
- Reverses the impact of life-long stress. 30 minutes of rebounding can increase levels of calming brain chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. It may also work on a cellular level to help reverse the toll that stress takes on the ageing process.
- Helps you live longer. Just 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week can increase your lifespan by 3.4 years.
- Reduces the risk of falls. Balance and muscle-strengthening activities like rebounding are important for reducing the risk of falling as you get older.
- Improves memory by boosting blood circulation to the brain, aiding in proper brain function.
- Slows muscle atrophy – an inevitable result of the ageing process.
- Improves posture. As the body ages, the curvature on the spine increases. Rebounding has been shown to help maintain proper body alignment and a strong posture.
- Offers relief from common pains that come with ageing, like neck pains, back pains, and headaches.
- Prevents edema by decreasing the amount of blood that pools in the cardiovascular system's veins.
- Helps rehabilitate existing heart problems and recovery from heart procedures by encouraging gentle, low-impact circulation.
- Encourages collateral circulation, which is important for seniors. This is the alternate path of circulation around a blocked artery or vein, such as a nearby blood vessel, which can help prevent strokes.
- Is easy on the joints. Rebounding has much less impact on joints and soft tissue than other exercises. When bouncing, pressure is more distributed throughout the body, whereas when walking or running, the pressure is mainly on the ankles.
MEDICAL BENEFITS:
BENEFITS FOR SENIORS:
My 10-year-old daughter loves the rebounder too and bounces daily. She’s now progressed to an 18-minute class. She’s a ballet dancer and the rebounder has helped her with her core strength which is so important for ballet. Plus, she has so much fun. Even my 13-year-old son has started using the rebounder.
Having a rebounder during lockdown this year has been priceless. It doesn’t take up a lot of space, can be moved from room to room, is inexpensive and fun, and workouts can be downloaded and done at your convenience. Bonus! ”
Finding time to exercise has been hard, I don’t like gyms and jogging outside in the cold, dark winter has never been an option for me. But rebounding in the comfort of my own home, at a time I can squeeze in, has been just what I’ve needed. And although I don’t always have the time to prep and cook the recipes suggested in Lisa’s Elimin8 Programme, I’ve learned so much about which healthy ingredients to use as well as simple, healthy food swaps I can make.
I’ve also done some DNA tests with Lisa, which has helped a lot in terms of knowing what my body needs.
I really enjoy rebounding as it’s all about pushing your limits and if you don’t feel very energetic you can take it easy, but at least you’re still moving and burning calories!”
- Ronalda Basson
At the start of the new year (2020) I wanted to quit some bad habits, namely smoking, and adopt some new, healthier habits – such as losing weight and getting fit. In Feb, I decided to quit smoking, and I’m so happy I did, but like most people, I began substituting smoking with snacking and picked up a few extra kgs. Then Lockdown happened and I thought it was the perfect time to get started with my 2020 fitness goals but while juggling work, family and home schooling, I still struggled with making rebounding and fitness a part of my daily routine.
While scrolling through social media, I kept seeing Lisas’s bounti 8-Week Challenge and realised it was just for me. I decided to sign up make a commitment to my fitness and health and what an amazing journey it’s been!
The first 3 days of the Elimin8 Programme was brutal for me, but then the magic happened, and I started to sleep better, feel more energetic and just have an overall feeling of “amazingness”. I fell in love with the process and felt excited and motivated to bounce, which was both fun and challenging, and eat properly. I’ve always felt so blessed to be able to move my body and be active.
Lisa’s challenge has been great because it allows you the time to make positive, lasting changes and form better habits. It also encourages you to be more mindful of what goes into your mouth. My results have been amazing with an overall 4.5kg loss so far. Although I haven’t quite reached my goal weight, I’m well on my way to achieving it and feel so much better in my own skin. I’m happy to have kickstarted a happier healthier me...”
“I decided to take part in the 8-week bounti Challenge and do Lisa’s Elimini8 Programme as I was really feeling down due to my health issues. Last year I snapped my ligament in my left foot which caused thrombosis (blood clots) in my legs. The clots then moved through my bloodstream into my lungs, which resulted in a serious pulmonary embolism. I had to go on blood thinning medication twice in the last year and a half, and I wasn’t allowed to consume any fruits and vegetables, especially anything containing vitamin k – as this vitamin thickens the blood.
I felt depressed, had no energy, wasn’t sleeping well, my skin wasn’t good at all and I put on a lot of weight. During the lockdown, I was on Facebook and saw Lisa Raleigh rebounding pop up in my feed. I saved the post and went on with my day. Again, another post related to rebounding with a video popped up, so I decided to go onto Lisa’s website to see what it was all about and when I read all the benefits of rebounding and how it can transform your life and health I decided to read some reviews and watch her videos on YouTube and Facebook. I also read some testimonials and decided then and there, that I needed to do something and make a change in my life.
I ordered my rebounder with accessories and workouts, which was something new as I've never bought anything online before.
When I received my rebounder, I decided I needed some additional motivation and thought about entering the bounti 8-week Challenge (which includes the Elimin8 Programme and a long-term eating plan). I knew that a challenge would help me to get started and feel more confident.
When I decided to start this journey, I didn’t realise that I would fall in love with rebounding like I did and that I would love the lifestyle change.
It was difficult at first to adjust my diet as I’d fallen into bad eating habits, thanks to long work hours and would often skip meals. However, the Challenge taught me to be more conscious of my daily routine and what I ate. I started to enjoy fresh, healthy food more and felt less tired and bloated.
After a couple of days, I could see a difference in my skin too. During the Elimini8 Programme, I grew my own sprouts from scratch to add to my meals and made fruit and vegetable smoothies for breakfast. I loved Lisa’s seed loaf as it kept me full for most of the day.
I started off with a beginner rebounding plan but could soon do more than just one workout.
I hopped on the rebounder when I got home from work and loved it. I sweated a lot and felt amazing after each class. I also started to sleep better had more energy and felt less congested throughout winter. Now, I feel so much healthier!
This was a life changing experience for me and the beginning of a healthier and happier me!”
“I started rebounding six weeks after having my baby, and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’d been watching Lisa on social media and seeing the benefits of rebounding. I also read Lisa’s postpartum story, so I thought I’d give it a try.
Initially I was shocked! I felt my body working hard the first time I bounced and started seeing results soon after. Fitness-wise, I’ve done everything under the sun... yoga, Pilates, Pure barre, CrossFit, kickboxing and running – although I’m not a fan of running.
However, I knew I needed to do more cardio activities. So, when I heard that 2 minutes of rebounding is equivalent to 6 minutes of running, I was all in.
I’ve always been fit and have managed to keep excess weight off to a certain point, but then it became so hard to keep my weight in check. Rebounding has changed all that!
I’ve never seen and experienced the results I have with rebounding with any other exercise. I was shocked at how it targeted all my major muscle groups in one. My core has never been this strong, I can also balance for longer, and stand more confidently thanks to all the improvements I’ve noticed with my posture. I feel firm and tight.
Rebounding has also helped my body get rid of toxins, which is a great bonus.
Now, I’m not nervous to have another baby because I know that rebounding will help me lose the excess baby weight quickly. You have to experience it for yourself!”
Being passionate about my career, as well as having two little children made it difficult for me to find time to go to the gym. And if I did get to the gym, I lacked direction to achieve my goals and couldn’t afford a personal trainer – which left me feeling demotivated.
But Lisa Raleigh’s 8-Week bounti Challenge solved all my problems! It allowed me the convenience to train at home - even if that meant after the kids were asleep, plus it gave me the direction I needed thanks to the online classes and Elimin8 Programme, which helped me cut out all the unnecessary non-nutritious foods and sugars in my diet.
I’ve happily trained daily for 30-60 minutes and have really enjoyed how my body feels, with little to no old injury aggravations. Rebounding is so much fun that it hardly feels like “work”, yet I’ve really reaped the rewards in the past 8 weeks - mind, body and soul! My husband was also motivated by my commitment and has adopted the eating and training mentality and has lost 6kg and loads of centimetres – so the healthy bug has bit us both and we are both enjoying our new form.”

4 floors over a railway bridge into very dirty water and my leg split open due to the impact from the hit against the curve of the bridge.
I also do Bikram yoga for the stretch and strength to compliment my running.
I look forward to rebounding every day. My body improves constantly from my neck, arms, abs etc. I also sleep so well afterwards, which is possibly from the toxin reduction and lymph drainage. Everyone should have one!”
I am happy to report that only 15-20 minutes daily on my rebounder has shown tremendous results! I've noticed changes in my body composition and strength after just a few workouts. Lisa shows how practical the rebounder is in terms of time management, ease of use and efficacy. And the great thing is that you don’t have to be in shape when you start. I wish I had a rebounder after each of my pregnancies – I can imagine what an asset it would have been for me.
