Getting a DNA fitness test helps you understand how your DNA affects your ability to recover from an intense workout, your personal metabolism, the strength of your core muscles and joints as well as how efficient your body is at processing oxygen. This knowledge can help you create an exercise routine forged by your personal genetics so that you can reach any health and fitness goals you set your mind to in a way that is optimal for your body.

Getting genetic tests is great for those wanting to understand how their body reacts to the volume of workouts, duration of the workouts, and the level of repetition they can withstand. Testing your DNA shows you how to optimize your strength, so that you spend the exact amount of time you need in the gym to lose weight, build muscle, or accomplish whatever your goal is. The tests will also reveal which vitamins will help you the most for burning calories or building muscle.
Testing your DNA can tell you if you have a propensity to being resistant to insulin, for example. If so, you can decrease the amount of carbohydrates you consume accordingly. Some people may feel disheartened when they try to lose weight or gain muscle, and they reach a point where no matter how much exercise they do, they can’t seem to drop the last few pounds or gain more weight. Understanding all aspects of your genetic fitness results helps you to progress in your exercise routine.

Aspects That DNA Fitness Tests Analyze
You can modify your exercise plans based on your body’s natural tendencies towards exercise performance. For example, there are two main types of skeletal muscle fibers in the body: slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers.
Slow-twitch muscle fibers help with activities related to endurance, such as running a marathon.
Fast-twitch muscle fibers, on the other hand, support activities involving quick bursts of energy, such as jumping jacks.
A DNA test will show whether you have a larger amount of fast-twitch muscle fibers or slow-twitch muscle fibers. In other words, the DNA test will reveal which genetic variant you lean towards. Learning more about how quickly your body is able to recover from intense exercise will allow you to plan out an exercise routine that will not leave you recovering for days. Instead, you will understand how hard you should push yourself and when to stop.
A DNA test can also touch on how fast or slow your metabolism is, the strength of your joints, and your build. Do you have a petite, small frame or a larger, thicker frame? The results can help streamline your workouts.

Nutrition DNA tests involve analyzing your DNA to find out how your body responds to different foods. For example, one of your friends may easily absorb Vitamin C, but you may need to consume more of it to meet your daily requirement. This will be different for each person based on your genetic variation.
Each person will have genetic variants that cause different reactions to foods that they eat. If you understand your genetic variant, then you will know what you need to eat or do to maintain a healthy diet. After you take one of the consumer genetic tests, then you can figure out how you need to change your eating habits after seeing your test results.

If you want to improve your nutrition and your eating habits, our nutrition DNA test can be the guiding light to your dietary needs. Your genetic profile contains dozens of traits that provide nutritional insights for optimal health. But how does it work?

Who Needs These Tests?
While everyone can benefit from a nutrition DNA test to better understand their bodies, our testing kits are highly recommended for anyone with potential food allergies, vitamin deficiencies, or individuals who wish to lose weight or gain muscle but struggle to find the right diet for their goals.
How Does It Work?
The process is as simple as ordering a kit from our lab. When it arrives after 3-5 business days, you will collect a saliva sample with a quick cheek swab provided in the kit. Then, just send it back in the prepaid mailer, and your results will be ready in 2-3 weeks.
Once you’ve looked over the results in the HIPAA-compliant client portal, you can discuss them with a physician and receive the help that you need with your diet, tailored to your genes. From here, you can work towards your different goals and improve your health.
Aspects of Nutrition Analyzed
The test will analyze various aspects of your nutrition as your body will react differently. Some traits we test include:
Food sensitivity and allergies:
Do caffeine and alcohol affect you more than those around you? Do you suspect gluten or lactose to be a culprit in your discomfort? Our test can determine foods or beverages that you may benefit from limiting in your diet.
Metabolic health factors:
Your genes indicate how well your body metabolizes fats and sugars, which can lead to high levels of bad cholesterol or blood glucose.
Vitamin deficiencies:
Just because you eat foods high in certain vitamins and minerals doesn’t mean that your body is able to properly absorb and process them.
Eating behaviors:
Have you ever eaten a substantial meal but still felt hungry afterward? Or maybe you struggle with poor appetite? Your genes can have a significant impact on your satiety and cravings, which can lead to weight changes.
Understanding how your body responds to these factors can allow you to take the appropriate measures to optimize your diet and health. Order your nutrition DNA test today.

Each person has a different body that will have various reactions to environments, foods and other external factors. While many are familiar with DNA testing for food allergies or ancestry, there are also many health benefits to be gained by testing your skin.

What Is a Skin DNA Test? What Are the Benefits?
Skin DNA testing involves analysis of specific markers for certain skin conditions, allergies, nutritional needs, susceptibility to aging, moisture, texture, and more. For example, you could have a genetic predisposition to sunburn instead of tanning.
In this way, a skin DNA test allows you to prepare for how your skin will react to different situations and adjust your skin care routine accordingly.

The Science Behind the Test
Many genetic factors contribute to skin conditions and premature aging. Our report includes several categories of skin quality that will allow you more insight into how to care for the largest organ on your body:
Collagen: High levels of collagen are important for maintaining a youthful glow. Depending on your individual levels, aging can happen at a faster or slower rate than others.
Wrinkles: While fine lines and wrinkles are largely determined by decreasing collagen levels, they can also be caused by glycation at the cellular level by Advanced Glycation End (AGE) products. These adhere to collagen and elastin and make them stiff and brittle.
Elasticity and Texture: The elasticity of one’s skin begins to decline after about 40 years of age. This is when enzymes known as MMPs begin to break down collagen, leading to unstable skin structure. Elasticity also determines your likelihood to develop stretch marks, cellulite, or varicose veins.
Sensitivity and Inflammation: Stress of the skin from various allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients can lead to dehydrated skin, itching, redness, and eventually, premature aging.
Photoaging and Pigmentation: Exposure to UV ray from sunlight can gravely affect your skin’s quality if you don’t have enough natural chemicals or melanin. This leads to freckles, rough skin, age spots, wrinkles, and other symptoms of sun damage.
Moisture and Defense: Environmental factors can produce free radicals in the skin, which leads to premature aging. Your skin’s natural antioxidants can prevent blemishes, uneven skin tone, and dehydration.

Many personality traits are thought to have a genetic component. If you're prone to worrying, you might have been told that your grandma or a great uncle had the same problem. If you're feisty, you may have heard that it's a common trait on your mom’s side of the family. At Milo Care+, we offer genetic personality testing that can help you find out more about how your DNA affects your personality.
-
Personality is part nature, or DNA, and part nurture, or how your family life and experiences have molded you. The DNA component can tell you a lot about the parts of your personality that don't seem to make sense. Advanced genetic technology allows us to hone in on different genes that play a strong role in different parts of your personality, such as your desire to be the center of attention or your shyness.

How Personality DNA Tests Work
Personality DNA tests—just like our other tests—require only a simple cheek swab. We use the DNA from the cells in your saliva to score for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (or SNPs, pronounced as “snips”).
According to a 2018 study, there is data to support that analysis of SNPs reveals the influence of DNA on intelligence, personality, and neuroticism, among other mental and behavioral traits.
Our testing kit looks for 30 of those genetic traits that help you gather insight into your unique personality, mood, information processing ability, behavior, propensity for addiction, and motivation levels.
The Behavioral Genetics Factor
Behavioral genetics is the study of environmental and genetic influences on a person's behavior. When we take a look at the genetics, we can often find some interesting information. Most behaviors and neurodivergencies that psychologists analyze have a foundation in your genes.
When you know more about your genes, you can figure out if certain negative aspects of your personality were inherited or if they resulted from your environment. You'll also learn if any children you have are likely to inherit the same personality traits.
Aspects of Behavior and Personality We Analyze
We use a five-factor model for analyzing the genetic components of your personality. These five factors are openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. This "Big Five" model is widely used and accepted for analyzing how personalities change over time and are affected by different variables.
