"Your personalized roadmap to health, based on your unique genetic blueprint."
Status: Within Recommended Range (18.5-25.0)
Your genetic test results suggest you will benefit from a nutrition plan that includes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in specific proportions.
Analysis: Your genetic results suggest a possible moderate reduction in the efficiency of thyroid hormone metabolism in peripheral tissues. The DIO1 gene variant you possess is associated with decreased conversion of thyroxine (T4) into its more active form (T3).
Suggestion: This reduced conversion may result in less thyroid activity in target tissues, potentially predisposing you to a slower metabolism.
Risk Profile: Below Average
Your genetic factors indicate that you have a below average genetic tendency to develop metabolic syndrome compared with the population in general. Lifestyle choices (exercise, healthy eating) remain key elements in maintaining this status.
Normal HDL levels. You tend to have normal expression of this gene and respond well to physical activity and caloric reduction.
Normal risk of gaining excessive weight; likely to respond well to diet and physical activities.
Favorable for maintaining healthy weight. This genotype does not adversely affect the tendency to gain weight based on intake of fats or carbs.
Increased intestinal absorption of dietary fat. Depending on other factors, this can lead to a greater risk for excess weight gain.
May benefit from limiting the amount of fats and carbohydrates in the diet.
Higher inflammation risk. You may benefit from replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats to help lower inflammation.
Can reduce insulin signaling. Benefit from dietary adjustments with a focus on lower glycemic index carbohydrates and unsaturated fats.
Higher hepatic lipase activity generally, though the second variant suggests reduced activity. Extra emphasis should be placed on unsaturated fat sources and low glycemic index carbs.
Increased sensitivity to the quality of dietary fat; higher risk of being overweight.
Decreased insulin production. May experience improved glycemic control with a diet including lower levels of fat.
Your genotype is associated with a slightly elevated tendency toward inflammation in response to gluten. If you experience symptoms, consult a healthcare provider.
Associated with the ability to fully process lactose throughout adulthood due to continued production of lactase.
You absorb B12 moderately well. Maintain intake via poultry, meat, fish, and dairy. Supplementation may be helpful.
Intensity: Moderate Intensity (MET value 3-6)
Weekly Goal: 15-20 MET-hours per week
Recommendation: Your body should respond well to moderate intensity activities.
Performance Profile: Intermediate (Strength and Endurance)
Your genotype is consistent with an increased proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibers. You will perform well at activities which emphasize strength and intense bursts of activity (sprinting, tennis, power lifting).
FTO (TT): Normal risk for weight gain; responds well to diet and exercise.
ADRB3 (TT): May tend to lower the intensity of exercise required to maintain healthy weight.
ACE (AG): Tends to increase the intensity of exercise required to effectively manage weight.
ENOS (TT): May have an increased oxygen supply to muscles in response to exercise.
ACTN3 (CC): May improve success in activities requiring sprint or power performance (explosive power).
ADRB2 (AA): May demonstrate greater reductions in BMI and body fat in response to endurance training.
Consistent with normal levels of hunger-stimulating hormone ghrelin. You may expect a normal level of difficulty with appetite control.
Correlated with normal dopamine receptor density. This gene does not increase your difficulty in managing diet.
Associated with increased sensitivity to bitter compounds (may avoid broccoli, cabbage) and a preference for sweet foods. Search for fruit/vegetable choices that are pleasing to your palate.
Associated with a normal tendency to crave sugars.
Moderately reduced enzyme activity. May result in lower levels of serotonin and dopamine. Diet rich in folate (greens, fruits, beans) and regular exercise is recommended.
Correlated with normal circadian rhythm, optimum sleep pattern, and morning eating preference.
Emphasize high-quality proteins and high fiber vegetables. Avoid sugar and alcohol.
Understanding your body goes beyond just genetics. The health of your fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles and organs—plays a critical role in how you look and feel.
Based on your IL6 marker (Inflammation Risk), maintaining hydrated, flexible fascia is vital to reduce systemic inflammation and support your genetic predispositions.
Based on the Optimal Blend Program.
Consistency over perfection. Your genes don't change, but your expression of them does based on your daily choices.
These tools are curated to support your specific needs for Fascia recovery and inflammation reduction (IL6/HLA markers).
