Life X DNA™ Methylation Testing Now Available Across Australia And New Zealand
The Gary Brecka test has contributed to increased public awareness of methylation, with a focus on key genes such as MTHFR. Life X DNA™ builds on this model by analysing more than 25 methylation-specific genes and an additional 300 genes that may play a role in related biological processes. The methodology combines next-generation sequencing with AI-driven interpretation to deliver personalised reports.
DNA methylation tests examine chemical modifications on DNA that regulate gene expression without altering the genetic code. Life X DNA™'s testing kits are used at home, requiring only a cheek swab. Results are returned securely and include tailored supplement suggestions and insights linked to fatigue, mood, inflammation, and other wellness factors.
Services are available in locations across both countries, including Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Auckland. The company adheres to privacy and data protection standards in accordance with Australian and New Zealand regulations.
To learn more about methylation pathways, testing methodology, or to order a test kit, visit the Life X DNA™ website.

Delay-plagued convention centre to host medical conferences in 2026
The New Zealand International Convention Centre in Auckland will host two major medical conferences next year — after finally opening following a near six-year delay. A spokesperson for the convention centre, which was initially scheduled to open in 2020 but was delayed following a devastating fire, said both the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists would hold their conferences at the centre. The events would be held from April 30 to May 5 and November 5 and November 9, respectively. The convention centre would officially open in February next year. According to NZ Herald, nine other events had already been booked at the centre. It was expected both newly announced events would include a combined total of 3300 delegates, "generating millions of dollars in economic activity", according to a spokesperson for the centre. ADVERTISEMENT NZICC director of sales and planning, Alana Bicknell, said it was a "major boost" to secure two major conferences during the convention centre's first year of opening. 'We can't wait to extend our manaakitanga to the delegates of both conferences. We're confident the NZICC will absolutely wow them.' 'We appreciate the support from our industry partners to help bring these events to New Zealand, and also the government for their recent announcement regarding changes to the law around the advertising of medicines that have previously been a barrier to international medical conferences coming here,' Bicknell said. SkyCity, which owned the convention centre, filed legal proceedings against Fletcher Building and The Fletcher Construction Company, seeking compensation of $330 million for "ongoing delays" to the project. SkyCity said the project was nearly six and a half years behind the contractually agreed delivery date of January 2019. SkyCity claimed it was entitled to $330 million in liquidated damages from Fletchers under the contract. Fletcher Building said it would "vigorously" defend the legal action and had already paid "significant" liquidated damages to SkyCity over the delays.

Minister marks resumption of site works
The government has been accused of reheating old announcements as the health minister was on site yesterday at the new Dunedin hospital. Health Minister Simeon Brown was in the city yesterday to mark the resumption of work for the inpatient building. He announced a timeline and the return of an engagement group which will help ensure the local community is kept informed as the project progresses. Dunedin Mayor Jules Radich, also present at the ceremony, said the group would bring together Health New Zealand (HNZ) leaders and a range of local stakeholders, including representatives from local government, infrastructure partners and tertiary institutions, to provide regular updates and support ongoing engagement throughout the project. The group will not provide advice on the building's design scope, clinical models of care or procurement decisions. Mr Brown also marked the beginning of a six-month job capping piles and pouring concrete to begin the resumption of work. "We're focused on the future today, we're focused on getting this building delivered and that's why we've got construction back under way here and that's my priority." Former head of the emergency department Dr John Chambers was somewhat cynical. "There seems to a bit of a drip feed of stories to reassure us that progress is being made. "Let's hope there are no more hiccups between now and September when the decision about the building contractor is to be finalised." Dr Chambers said the past two to three years has been "a sort of planning paralysis" and "we are close to being back to where we were — not least assisted by the intervention of the 35,000 citizens who marched last year and a sustained campaign by the city council". "The current stories about psychogeriatric beds and reduced numbers of paediatric beds are also a reminder that planners have made a number of assumptions about future requirements which are still open to debate and require careful clinical oversight." At the inpatients building site yesterday, Mr Brown confirmed the signing of the contract with CPB would happen "in the coming months", while a letter of intent had been signed between Health New Zealand and the Australian construction giant recently. Ceres would be responsible for the pile capping and CPB would manage the substructure. About 4300cum of concrete will be poured across the site, and about 490 tonnes of reinforcing steel used in total. The next major construction phase was the substructure expected to begin in early 2026. The 70,000sqm inpatient building is due to open in 2031. The existing Dunedin hospital faces millions of dollars of expenditure to "keep the lights on" as well as other remedial issues. Mr Brown acknowledged this. "That's why we're building a new building because the old building has a number of challenges." The government has also reappointed Evan Davies as Crown manager for the new Dunedin hospital project. "I think Mr Davies is someone with enormous experience. We're pleased to appoint him [as Crown manager] but, you know, he's only recently been appointed. "The Health New Zealand staff have been playing a critically important role in getting us to where we are here today." Mr Brown visited the city in January to announce the government would progress with the new Dunedin hospital on the former Cadbury site. In September, the government paused the project to consider whether to retrofit the existing hospital or progress with a new inpatients building.

Man dies of rare untreatable virus after bat bite in Australia
A man has died after contracting an extremely rare, rabies-like bat virus. NSW Health confirmed the man in his 50s died on Thursday after being bitten by a bat several months ago. The northern NSW man was the first ever recorded case of Australian bat lyssavirus in the state and only the fourth in the country. Bat lyssavirus transmits from infected bats to humans when virus in their saliva enters the body through a bite or scratch. It is extremely rare for the virus to transmit to humans because it does not spread through the air. ADVERTISEMENT There is no effective treatment. "Only wildlife handlers who are trained, protected, and vaccinated should interact with bats," a NSW Health spokesman said. The virus shares similarities to rabies and has been found in species of flying foxes, fruit bats and insect-eating microbats. In 2024, 118 people were treated after being bitten or scratched by a bat in Australia. Authorities are urging people to assume bats could be carrying the virus and avoid touching them. "It is crucial that anyone bitten or scratched by a bat seek urgent medical assessment," the spokesman said. People who are bitten or scratched by a bat require treatment with rabies immunoglobulin and rabies vaccine.
