Health, fitness, and diet can feel overwhelming. With so much information (and misinformation) out there, you might not know where to start when trying to optimise your health and lifestyle.
DNA testing is an incredible way to advance your health and wellbeing in a way you can trust to succeed.
When you use your own genetics as a starting point, you can take actionable steps you can trust to achieve optimal results for you – rather than following standard guidance on health and wellbeing.
And DNA testing isn’t just for fitness fanatics – everyone can benefit from learning more about their body on the intricate level of DNA and knowing what their body best responds to across many areas.
See just some of the benefits of DNA testing below:
Optimise your diet
DNA testing reveals many things about your diet: optimal diet type, carbohydrate and saturated fat sensitivity, salt, alcohol and caffeine sensitivity, lactose intolerance, coeliac predisposition, and more.
From this wealth of information, you can learn what specific foods and drinks do and don’t sit well with your body, meaning you can increase the parts of your diet that work and decrease those that don’t.
Whether your goal is to lose weight, improve health, or simply feel great –diet- focussed DNA results provide the actionable data you need to achieve this.
Adapt your exercise regime
DNA testing reveals a lot about your bodies’ tolerance and adaptability to exercise.
Based on your genetic makeup, you can learn: power and endurance response, aerobic training response, injury risk, recovery speed, Optimal training type, muscle mass, ACL injury risk, lower back injury risk, Achilles injury risk, injury predisposition, aerobic trainability.
These are all ranked as low, increased, high.
From these results, you will know what type of exercise you are naturally predisposed to and create a fitness regime based on these results.
Following an exercise plan based on your own body is a great way to achieve lasting success, and can be far more effective than following an ‘off the shelf’ programme.
Improve sleep and lower stress levels
DNA testing is about more than just diet and exercise. You can also use the results to find out about your sleep quality predisposition, and your body’s affiliation between caffeine and sleep disturbance. From this, you can take steps to improve your sleep quality – boosting your overall mood, wellness, and health.
DNA testing also assesses stress related genetics: stress tolerance, warrior or strategist, genetic chronotype, and more. Again, this data can be used to manage and lower your stress levels, providing actionable steps to easily improve your mood.
Receive a nutritional breakdown for your body
You receive a nutritional breakdown for your body, with your DNA revealing your response to a range of improtant vitamins and nutrients. These include Vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, D, E, as well as Omega 3, Iron, Selenium, and more.
Again, you can use these results to practically and successfully optimise your diet and ultimately get your body to feel the very best it can.
