Here's what you will learn about your health.
How many calories should you consume and what, exactly, should you be eating? There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to nutrition. Everyone has different dietary requirements and vulnerabilities, given their genetic makeup. An individually-tailored diet that strikes your delicate balance is the key to optimizing your body's functionality and overall health.
Depending on your genetic make-up, you can be predisposed to being sensitive or intolerant to certain foods and substances. Capturing your risk of certain sensitivities can help you to avoid their negative effects.

It goes without saying: Exercise is good for you. It promotes muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility. It also reduces body fat, and boosts metabolism. Not all types of exercise are created equal for all bodies. Find out the optimal exercise regimen for your unique genetic makeup, as well as how susceptible you are to injury, how quickly you are able to recover, your pain tolerance level, your inherent inclination towards exercise, your bone health profile, and the impact of exercise on Type 2 Diabetes.
Mental wellbeing is a key component of overall health, and includes our emotional, psychological, and social states. The status of our mental wellbeing is affected by our life experiences, family history, and biological factors such as brain chemistry and genes. Accessing your genetic profile can help you to optimize your mental wellbeing.
Our bodies are constantly exposed to harmful toxins found in the foods we eat, in the air we breathe, and in the by-products of our own internal metabolic processes. The question is, how quick and effective is your body at removing these toxins? Depending on your body's specific competencies, there are relatively minor nutritional and lifestyle adjustments available that can make a big difference in boosting your body's natural ability to detoxify.
Most cases of obesity are caused by a complex combination of environmental and hereditary elements. Various genetic factors can inform on your unique rate of susceptibility to obesity. Accessing this self-knowledge is an essential first step to developing a personalized prevention and treatment strategy.
Hormones, the body's "chemical messengers", are vital to your health and well-being. Controlling, among other things, growth and development, metabolism, fertility, and mood, certain key hormones need to be in perfect equilibrium in order to ensure your body operates with optimal efficiency. Your genetics can reveal if you are predisposed to having suboptimal hormone levels and this report will provide recommendations on how to correct this.
