Ever wondered why some diets work wonders for others but not for you? Or why you recover slower, sleep differently, or store fat in certain areas? The answers could be in your DNA.
At Body Torque, we offer cutting-edge Genetic Testing and Assessment to take the guesswork out of your health and fitness journey. This isn’t about “one-size-fits-all” plans. It’s about understanding your unique blueprint, so we can help you train smarter, eat better, feel energised and live stronger, for longer.
Here’s what you can expect when you book your Genetic Test and Assessment through Body Torque:
Step 1. DNA Collection
DNA is collected through a simple saliva sample. Body Torque will then send the sample away to the lab for analysis.
Step 2. Genetic Analysis
Body Torque will request the lab looks at approximately 111 specific genes and 129 variants and mutations (SNPs). Please note, the exact number of requests vary depending on the purpose of your test.
Requests could include (but are not limited to), metabolism, fat storage, muscular fiber type and carbohydrate sensitivity.
This takes approximately 2-3 weeks for the lab to complete their work.
Step 3. Personalised Report
Body Torque will receive a detailed report from the Lab including recommendations. Examples of recommendations could be your ideal macronutrient ratios, specific advice on nutrients, nutritional supplements and foods to eat, stress resilience protocols, and mental health information.
Being armed with this information not only helps us to determine the best plan for you, but it also enables you to make proactive lifestyle choices to reduce your risk of diseases related to your DNA and genetic profile.
Step 4. Book a time to get your results and recommendations
Body Torque will then book a time with you to discuss the outcome of your assessment and go over the dietician’s recommendations. Following this meeting, we’ll send you a copy of your results in a PDF format.
What happens next?
Once we’ve decoded your DNA, the real power lies within what you do with it.
Whether you simply want to understand yourself better, or you’re ready to take a step further with a fully personalised plan, we’re here to guide you. The Body Torque team can help you take the insights from your genes and turn them into real-world-action, from nutrition and supplements to training and recovery.
