International Day of Happiness:

Empowering Mental Well-being & Employee Wellness with MyDNA

The International Day of Happiness, celebrated every 20th March, is more than just a feel-good event – it’s a global movement recognising the importance of happiness as a fundamental human goal. In today’s fast-paced world, mental well-being and happiness at home and work are more critical than ever. At MyDNA, we believe that understanding your genetic blueprint can be a catalyst for lasting happiness and holistic wellness.

What is the International Day of Happiness?

The International Day of Happiness was established by the United Nations to highlight the vital role of happiness in people’s lives worldwide. It’s about promoting mental well-being, cultivating positive relationships, and creating supportive environments at home and at work (UN Happiness Day).

Why Happiness Matters

  • Boosts productivity and creativity
  • Improves relationships at home and work
  • Reduces stress and health risks
  • Fosters community and resilience

MyDNA’s Mission: Aligning Science with Happiness

At MyDNA, our mission is to empower individuals, companies, and organisations to make informed decisions about their health, mental well-being, and happiness. We offer comprehensive DNA testing that goes beyond ancestry, providing actionable insights into nutrition, fitness, disease predispositions, and – crucially – mental health.

How Predictive DNA Testing Supports Mental Well-being

Genetics play a significant role in mental health, influencing how we respond to stress, process emotions, and even our natural predisposition to happiness. Our DNA tests provide:

  • Insights into genetic factors affecting serotonin and dopamine production
  • Personalised recommendations for nutrition and lifestyle
  • Identification of stress response markers
  • Guidance on fitness routines that boost mood

Linking DNA Insights to Employee Wellness

With employee wellness programmes gaining traction, companies are seeking innovative ways to support their teams. DNA testing can be a game-changer:

  • Personalised wellness plans: Tailored to genetic strengths and vulnerabilities
  • Mental resilience workshops: Based on genetic insights
  • Happiness at work: Empowering teams to take charge of their well-being

  • Genetic predispositions: Understanding your unique blueprint
  • Lifestyle factors: Diet, exercise, sleep, and relationships
