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.

 

7. Are health metrics assessments like VO2 max and RMR available everywhere?

 

Health metrics assessments are available in select areas. These tests are conducted at the client’s preferred location—be it your home, gym, or workplace. This flexible approach ensures convenience while delivering professional-grade testing. Contact us to confirm availability in your region.

 

8. How do blood tests complement genetic testing and health metrics assessments?

 

Blood tests provide real-time data on your current health, such as vitamin levels, inflammation markers, and metabolic health. Combining this with genetic insights and health metrics like VO2 max or RMR creates a holistic view of your health, enabling personalized and actionable strategies for optimal fitness and wellness.

 

9. How secure is my genetic information and health data with GeneGPS?

 

GeneGPS prioritizes your privacy. All data, including genetic, blood, and health metrics, is stored securely and handled in compliance with data protection regulations. Your data is never shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

11. Are these services suitable for everyone?

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.

* Please be aware that GENEGPS genetic tests are not to be used for individuals less that the age of 18, nor if there is a disability not allowing for consent. If it is to be used for the above get in touch with us for specific consent forms. The GeneGPS packages are not appropriate for use in clinical or diagnostic settings. It is important to know that genetics deal with your code but another important factor is epigenetics which acts as a switch that turns your code on and off. Your epigenetics are governed by various modifiable factors such as environment, diet, exposures, etc. We cannot identify spontaneous changes to your genetic code    (mutations) that may or may not be linked with epigenetic/genetic factors. As a result even though a negative test can never guarantee no risk at all from serious medical conditions including cancers, neuro-degenerative conditions, etc, It still offers a risk assessment based on our advanced algorithms and current research applied to your genetic code. Nevertheless, in the event that your physician deems a mutation, DNA predisposition, allergy predisposition, medication alteration, or additional interpretations of the test results to be pertinent, standard procedure is to correlate these clinically and conduct additional investigations as needed. The information in our reports is intended to help the individual better understand their genetic makeup. We do not offer medical advice based on the results of these DNA tests.
