“I learned from my genes that I shouldn’t trust my body’s signals at the grocery store or at the dinner table.”

Experiences

I got excited about doing a gene test after a friend recommended it, wanting to better understand my own genetic background.
I realized that, genetically, I actually have all the tools and potential for an active lifestyle, effective weight management, and a balanced everyday life.

The gene test revealed that I recover from exercise faster than average and that I naturally experience deep, restful sleep. My smartwatch confirms these results. In terms of nutrition, I have a sweet tooth and tend to snack. The test also showed that I get pleasure from food more slowly than average, which gives me a genetic tendency to go for seconds. I’ve definitely noticed this before.

The gene test helped me become more mindful of my eating habits. Nowadays, I pay better attention to cravings and I’m more likely to skip unnecessary second helpings at the dinner table.
