Fitness and Genetics

We are all different

Understand your DNA to gain more from your fitness and nutrition

A smarter approach to exercise and nutrition

Have you ever wondered why you can follow the exact same exercise and nutirion plan as someone else but see very different results?  That's because we are all individuals, and a one size fits all approach is never going to be particularly effective. 

 

Through DNAfit I offer a bespoke genetics testing kit, which makes use of a simple cheek swab to  identify different genes, outlining how they impact the way in which you interact with your environment. Specifically, you will receive detailed reports focusing on your individual profile in relation to:

 

🏃 Fitness - How to tailor your training to get the most out of your workout, understand your injury risk and optimal recovery periods

🍏 Nutrition - Enable you to build your meals based around your ideal diet type, intolerances and specific macronutrient responses

💗 Wellness - How to maximise your sleep along with your personal response to stress and caffeine

💪 Bone Density - Gain an understanding of your predisposed genetic risk factors relating to bone density

👤 Obesity - Insight into how your genetic predisposition relates to potentialobesity and weight gain


DNAfit can be insightful and useful for everyone!

Are you tired of wasting time and money working hard at the gym but not seeing the results that you’d hoped for?


Fed up of following a highly restrictive food plan that gives no other results than to make you miserable?


If you can relate to these questions then DNAfit is for you. 


If you want a simple, effective and realistic approach to exercise and nutrition, giving you a better quality of life with long term, sustainable results, then this is what you’ve been looking for. 


Whether you’re new to exercise, already super fit or just want to gain a better understanding of you and your body, you’re only days away from receiving the knowledge that can be the key to you achieving your goals.


A fresh approach to your fitness, nutrition and lifestyle

Upon receiving your DNAfit profile report you'll open up a wide range of insights and potential benefits that will span from the way you exercise, eat and care for your body:

  • Use the results to tailor your individual fitness plan, giving you greater results in a shorter period of time
  • Gain more from your training by matching activities to your genetic make-up
  • Maintain motivation;  decide on realistic goals and timeframes, based on you as an individual
  • Add structure and purpose to your workout - by understanding more about how your body naturally responds to different types of exercise, you will find it easier to use the time you have available to train more effectively
  • Prevent against injury - utilise your specific injury risk data and incorporate protective strengthening exercises into your weekly routine
  • A greater likelihood of making a consistent change to your behaviour - whether it’s a commitment in relation to fitness, nutrition or well being; having access to proven scientific information makes it far more likely that you will be consistent; understanding the reason why can be extremely powerful
  • Support your overall well being - along with information relating to fitness and nutrition, you’ll gain an understanding of your personal tolerances when it comes to sleep and stress
  • Opportunity to make a positive impact on long term health risk factors - I can give you exclusive access to data relating to your risk of osteoporosis and obesity enabling you to make take positive action earlier

I've got you covered

Now more than ever it’s essential that I ensure the safety of my clients at all times. Your DNAfit testing kit is fully sealed and sent direct from the lab. You will receive your kit along with all necessary information and instructions. You'll simply take your swab with a quick swipe inside each cheek, then pop it into the pre-paid envelope to send back. No need for any kind of physical contact. Your follow up consultation is done over the phone or internet, so again no need for any face to face meetings.


The science bit is really important. It’s fair to say that the field of genetics is still in its infancy, but DNAfit has a strict code of practice to ensure the results that you receive are reliable and accurate. They work with experts in genetics, sports science and nutrition, along with a number of professional athletes. These individuals work with a robust Scientific Advisory Board to continuously carry out research into the genes that are included in the tests that I offer.

Your privacy is my utmost priority. I recognise that our DNA is completely personal to each of us and I, along with DNAfit  have a strict approach to data protection. DNAfit will only test for genes needed as part of the requested report and they destroy all analysis after reports have been generated. During analysis and report creation by the lab, your results are stored under an anonymised ID to keep identities secure.  


From a True You Fitness perspective I respect your privacy, storing personal data securely, only collecting information that’s valid and destroying it once it’s no longer needed. I don’t think you will have any cause for concern, but if at any time you do, please let me know and I’ll be happy to share a copy of my Privacy Notice.
