FAQ
1. How can GeneGPS help me enhance my workout results?
GeneGPS provides personalized insights into your genetic predispositions and current physiological state. Genetic testing identifies how your body responds to exercise and recovery, while health metrics assessments such as VO2 max, RMR, fat oxidation, and body composition analysis help you design a targeted workout and nutrition plan for optimal performance.
2. What is VO2 max, and why is it important for my fitness?
VO2 max measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. It's a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and endurance capacity. Knowing your VO2 max helps you design effective training programs to improve aerobic performance and overall stamina.
3. How does assessing my Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) benefit my fitness journey?
RMR reveals how many calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions at rest. Understanding this allows you to create a tailored nutrition plan that matches your energy expenditure, aiding in weight management, fat loss, or muscle gain goals.
4. What insights can I gain from a fat oxidation assessment?
Fat oxidation assessments determine how efficiently your body uses fat as a fuel source during exercise. This insight helps optimize your training intensity and dietary strategies to enhance fat metabolism, improve endurance, and support weight loss or body composition goals.
5. How does body composition analysis aid in my fitness goals?
Body composition analysis provides a detailed breakdown of fat, muscle, and bone mass in your body. By tracking these metrics, you can assess the effectiveness of your training and nutrition plans, make adjustments, and ensure sustainable progress toward your fitness goals.
​6. Where can I have my blood drawn for testing?
GeneGPS partners with a network of certified laboratories across the UK where you can conveniently have your blood drawn. Alternatively, mobile phlebotomy services may be available in select locations to provide an at-home experience. Contact us for assistance in finding a suitable option near you.

A SERIOUS NOTE TO CONSIDER ....
​
-
You will almost certainly discover genetic information about yourself that you were not prepared for. Said genetic information may cause emotional distress and may even change a person's life. For instance, you may be more likely than the typical population to experience a specific disease, ailment, or condition.
​
-
A negligible proportion (<0.05%) of the data generated during the process of extracting your genetic information can be incorrect or cannot be interpreted.
​
-
Future scientific research in genetic medicine can alter the interpretation of your DNA since new genetic markers can be discovered related to the risk of suffering diverse conditions, pathologies, genetic traits or illnesses to be either more valid or render known data more or less relevant.
