FAQs

Genetics make up the baseline “code” by which your body functions. The impact of every single choice you make throughout your life is influenced by your genetic makeup. We test over 100 genes that can affect your training response, recovery, injury risk, energy levels, weight and body composition, and response to ergogenic supplements. By understanding how your unique genetics impact these key processes, you can make smarter, more personalized decisions about your training and performance. There may even insights you never imagined (like whether that second cup of coffee is a good idea)!

Every gene has been selected based on 2 factors: scientific validity and actionability. The genes in the GENEFIT test were selected from peer-reviewed scientific publications. To ascertain scientific validity, we ensure that there is adequate research to understand what the gene does and how the version of the gene you possess affects your body. Every gene in your report has been hand-picked because there is a documented action you can take to work with your genes.

After sending in your genetic sample, results take 3-4 weeks to process. You will receive an email when your results are available on the app.
