Genetic-Based Personalized Fitness
Genetic testing and personalized fitness programs are perhaps the most
exciting change in the health and fitness profession!
The DNA fitness test helps us understand how your DNA affects your ability to recover from an intense workout, your personal metabolism, macronutrient utilization, risk for injury as well as how efficient your body is at processing oxygen. This knowledge will allow us to create an exercise routine forged by your personal genetics so that you can reach any health and fitness goals you set your mind to in a way that is optimal for your body, with out the guess work and trial and error.
Getting genetic tests is great for those wanting to understand how their body reacts to the volume of workouts, duration of the workouts, and the level of repetition they can withstand. Testing your DNA shows us how to optimize your strength, so that you spend the exact amount of time you need in the gym to lose weight, build muscle, or accomplish whatever your goal is. The tests will also reveal which nutrients will help you the most for burning calories or building muscle.
Testing your DNA can tell us if you have a propensity to being resistant to insulin, for example. If so, we can decrease the amount of carbohydrates you consume accordingly. Some people may feel disheartened when they try to lose weight or gain muscle, and they reach a point where no matter how much exercise they do, they can’t seem to drop the last few pounds or gain more weight. Understanding all aspects of your genetic fitness results helps you to progress in your exercise routine. This technology provides us the ability to design programs so accurate and predictable, that your success, when following the recommendations, is assured.
For Example...
You can modify your exercise plans based on your body’s natural tendencies towards exercise performance. For example, there are two main types of skeletal muscle fibers in the body: slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers.
Slow-twitch muscle fibers help with activities related to endurance, such as running a marathon.
Fast-twitch muscle fibers, on the other hand, support activities involving quick bursts of energy, such as jumping jacks.
A DNA test will show whether you have a larger amount of fast-twitch muscle fibers or slow-twitch muscle fibers. In other words, the DNA test will reveal which genetic variant you lean towards. Learning more about how quickly your body is able to recover from intense exercise will allow you to plan out an exercise routine that will not leave you recovering for days. Instead, you will understand how hard you should push yourself and when to stop.
A DNA test can also touch on how fast or slow your metabolism is, how well you utilize vitamins and minerals, risk of systemic inflammation and loss of bone density. The results can help streamline your workouts.
