Can A DNA Make Your Test Fitness Goals Attainable?

What is a DNA test and how can it help in achieving fitness goals?

A DNA test can evaluate specific genetic profiles that have been researched and scientifically linked to fitness and nutrition outcomes.

For example, there is a specific genetic profile associated with how well the body will use fat as a fuel source during cardio. This helps a personal trainer give more targeted guidelines on how long a client should be doing cardio sessions and whether or not it’s important for them to do this workout in a semi-fasted state. Similarly, clients will vary on how well their body utilizes protein, carbs, and fats.

If a client knows, for example, that they have a high tendency for protein utilization, this means the client is more efficient at using protein for both increasing muscle tissue and as an energy resource. In these instances, research shows these individuals will lose more weight on a slightly elevated protein intake diet (not necessarily a low-carb diet though).

Are all fitness professionals well-informed about this method?
