Do you feel that your progress is halted? Are you confused by the discrepancy in the myriad of advice that is given for weight loss and sports performance? Our genetic testing services can help you to control your weight and to optimize your workout programs
Your genetic makeup may tell you more about yourself than you think. Several genes have been identified relating to physiological and psychological responses to stressors and lifestyles, such as BDNF for Social stress sensitivity or ADORA2A for sleep quality in response to caffeine. Persometrics offers not only raw data and what they mean but our reports give you steadfast, actionable, information for improved well-being, each report targeting a specific aspect of health.
Ever wondered why there are so many conflicting expert opinions regarding the ultimate weight-loss diet? Perhaps it is because a universal diet doesn't exist but that it is down to your genetic constitution. Nutrient intake and physical activity are essential factors affecting body weight, body composition, energy metabolism, and energy utilization. However, not everyone responds to the same exercise and diet regimes n the same way. Indeed, a large part of our ability to gain or lose weight is down to our genes, which are involved in the susceptibility to gaining or losing weight in response to a given diet, to appetite, lipid over-absorption, and more.
