If your strength training is not where you want it to be, consider optimizing your routine using 10X Health’s Precision Genetic Testing. How does it work? By harnessing the information found in your genes. Keep reading below to learn how and why our system works.
Our Genes and Our Physical Health, How Do They Relate?
For years we have been helping clients just like you who are looking for alternative ways to improve their wellness, body composition, and strength. The reality is, we all begin our health journeys in different places. Some of us are stronger in areas where others need improvement. Some of us have been working for years to find a program that works; for others, it’s their first time. No matter where we start, we all have goals we aspire to reach.
In the same way that each of our goals are unique, our bodies are too. Even if we look identical on the outside, there is another story going on under the surface. Although you might only associate DNA with crime scene investigations, our genes play a much larger role in our lives than being identified through hair and skin follicles.
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, contains the instructions for making our bodies work. Unless you have an identical twin, each of our DNA is different and unique. DNA is packaged into chromosomes, which hold genes. 23,000 genes to be exact! It is these genes that interact to create who we are. Everything from how our bodies process nutrients to what exercises will be most effective and of course our eye and skin color.
In addition to traits that can help us, our genes can also hinder us in reaching our goals. For example, genetic variation can contribute from 30 to 70% in weight-related factors such as BMI, fat mass, and leptin levels. If you don’t know what is really going on inside your body, how can you learn to combat it, and move forward in your wellness journey? This is where genetic testing comes in.
One Test, One Cheek Swap, Over 400 Pages of Results
So, how can we use something as microscopic as genes to make an impact on your strength training? Through personalized wellness solutions. At 10X Health, we don’t just give you a packet of confusing test results and send you on your way. We give you personalized recommendations based on your exact genetic makeup. No cookie-cutter program. No fad diet scheme.
So, where does it all start? The process begins by purchasing a Precision Genetic Test and sending in a sample of your DNA via a cheek swab. Easy peasy. Then, we get to work analyzing your genes and creating our custom recommendations.
One of the genes we look at is called ADRB2, a gene that assists in regulating multiple physiological systems, including the cardiac, pulmonary, vascular, endocrine, and central nervous systems. If this gene is impaired, people tend to lose more muscle mass than individuals with other genes when they reduce their calorie intake.
For this reason, a client with this genetic profile would get a recommendation to do endurance and strength training to maintain their muscle mass. As a part of their results, they would find training programs that match their genes as well as other recommendations on how they can integrate their results into their everyday life.
Because your genes play a role in what type of exercise will be most effective for you and your goals, it’s important to understand exactly how they work, what happens when they malfunction, and what you can do to compensate for the lost or reduced function with other means such as your nutrition or lifestyle.
