Diet & Fitness

Your genes have a significant and sometimes profound effect on how your body responds to different types of exercise and diet.
A number of genetic variations are known to affect your physical fitness, your tendency to be better at strength or endurance based activities, your metabolism and your sensitivity to a high fat diet.
This test is for anyone interested in understanding how to most effectively and efficiently optimise their diet, supplements and workout for overall improvements in health and wellbeing.

Your genes affect certain aspects of your metabolism and the processes your body uses to convert what you eat and drink into energy.

This test won’t solve your dieting issues but it will help you understand your food habits and attitude to food and why you have certain cravings. This in turn may help you manage these cravings more effectively. Your results will also help identify particular food groups that make certain individuals more prone to weight gain.

Knowing this means that you can tailor your exercise regime and therefore benefit from a plan that suits you better.
