will make recommendations based on how your body builds muscles, recovers from exercise, and utilizes nutrients according to natural variations in your personal genetic code. By understanding how your genetic profile affects your well-being and fitness potential, the test will help you take charge of optimizing your physical fitness and conditioning by specifying nutritional and lifestyle options related to your genetic profile.

Based on your DNA analysis  offers personal advice and recommendations based on the following areas related to fitness and training:

Fitness is the state or condition of being fit. Good health and physical condition are generally a result of exercise and proper nutrition. Cardio fitness refers to your body's ability to get oxygen and blood to the muscles. Many genes can impact your overall cardio fitness by playing a role in how exercise can affect your body’s blood flow, HDL levels and glucose balance. Studies have shown that some individuals may demonstrate a greater impact on cardio fitness measures when involved in active exercise programs as compared with other individuals.

Recovery is one of the most important aspects of any athlete’s training program. When you regularly push your body to extremes by training and competing, it is important to refuel and repair muscles so your body is ready for the next event or training session. If you neglect post-exercise nutritional support and recovery time, you risk running low on energy during your next training or athletic event. Trainers and athletes know that carbohydrates are the preferred fuel for muscles before and after intense exercise. The body uses carbohydrates during intense training and competition. Intense exercise depletes your body’s stored carbohydrates. Your muscles are most receptive to replenishing carbohydrates within the first 30 minutes to 2 hours after exercise. There is also growing evidence of the importance of antioxidants to help remove free radicals that are formed when you are physically active. Free radicals can accumulate and lead to increased fatigue and longer recovery times. Omega-3 fatty acids are also important in exercise recovery programs because they can help promote normal recovery times.
