Denise Furness, PhD is a functional geneticist and internationally recognised leader in the fields of nutrigenomics and epigenetics. With over 20 years of experience, she has dedicated her career to understanding how our genes interact with our environment — and how we can use this knowledge to transform health outcomes.

Her award-winning research focused on gene–nutrient interactions, DNA methylation, and DNA damage, paving the way for a new, more personalised approach to healthcare. In 2012, Denise founded Your Genes & Nutrition, bridging cutting-edge science with real-world clinical practice. Inspired to create greater change, she later launched the Academy for Precision Health — a global education platform designed to train healthcare practitioners in DNA, epigenetic, and biological age testing, giving them the tools to deliver truly personalised, proactive care.

Denise’s clinic specialises in fertility, thyroid autoimmune conditions, and healthy ageing. Denise has shown how optimising DNA methylation through targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies can slow biological aging and improve quality of life.Her work is deeply personal: after overcoming her own autoimmune thyroid disease and genetic predisposition to cognitive decline, Denise is passionate about empowering others to take control of their health, reconnect with their biology, and thrive at every stage of life.
