CRISPR vs Cholesterol: Are Lifelong Statins on Borrowed Time?
You may have seen headlines saying “CRISPR slashes ‘bad’ cholesterol by 95%”. It sounds like science fiction: a one-off infusion that permanently lowers cholesterol instead of a lifetime of tablets and injections. So what’s real, what’s hype, and how close is this for...
Time Restricted Eating (TRE) – Why Men and Women Respond Differently (and Why Fasted Training Isn’t Equal)
Most people think time-restricted eating is as simple as “skip breakfast and burn more fat.” But new research shows men and women respond very differently to fasting — especially when morning exercise and cortisol are involved. Men typically have more fast-twitch,...

FAQs
What makes Mint Clinic different from a regular nutritionist or GP?
Mint Clinic offers highly personalised, science-backed healthcare combining genomics, functional medicine, and preventive strategies. Our structured programmes go beyond symptom management to optimise your health span and reduce disease risk.
Do I need a diagnosis to join a Mint Clinic programme?
No diagnosis is required. Many clients come to us proactively—whether they’re high performers, recovering from illness, or simply want to future-proof their health.
What is the PREVENT Programme, and who is it for?
PREVENT is a 6-month health optimisation programme designed for people who want to take control of their long-term health. It includes 1:1 support, advanced testing, personalised nutrition, and referrals. It’s ideal for those committed to preventing disease and ageing well.
Can I just book a one-off consultation?
Yes. We offer a Discovery Consultation Package for those who aren’t ready to commit to a programme but want a personalised roadmap and testing recommendations.
What is CTC testing and how is it used in cancer prevention?
Circulating Tumour Cell (CTC) testing identifies cancer cells in the bloodstream before they form visible tumours. It is a cutting-edge surveillance tool used to monitor recurrence risk and guide preventive strategies, especially for clients with personal or family cancer history.
Are supplements and lab testing included in programme fees?
No. Programme fees cover your clinical time, plan creation, and ongoing support. Functional testing, supplements, and specialist referrals are additional, and always discussed with you upfront.
Do you work with other healthcare providers?
Yes. We frequently collaborate with GPs, specialists, and allied health professionals to ensure a cohesive care plan. With your permission, we can share relevant reports and referrals as needed.
How does genetic testing help personalise my plan?
Genetic testing identifies predispositions related to detoxification, metabolism, hormones, inflammation, and more. We use this information to tailor your nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle interventions more precisely and effectively.
Is this covered by health insurance in New Zealand?
Some insurance providers may offer partial reimbursement for consults under “nutrition” or “complementary health.” We provide invoices that you can submit to your insurer. Lab tests and supplements are generally out-of-pocket.
How do I get started?
Click Enquire Now to submit your details. We’ll contact you to schedule a brief pre-screening call and help you decide whether to begin with a Discovery Consultation or a full programme.
Do you only see clients based in New Zealand?
No—we welcome international clients. Many of our services, including consultations, nutrition planning, and test interpretation, can be delivered entirely online. We currently work with clients across Australia, the UK, Europe, and Asia.
Are consultations available via Zoom?
Yes. Most of our appointments are conducted via Zoom, allowing for flexible, convenient access to your clinician wherever you are. In-person consults are available in Christchurch, NZ for local clients.
