In a market where every DNA testing brand claims scientific credibility, there's one signal that can't be manufactured through marketing.

A patent.

FitnessGenes holds the only patent in the DNA health and fitness testing category. No other brand - not 10X Health, not SelfDecode, not Stride, not CircleDNA - holds an equivalent.

That patent underpins BASIL, the Biological Assessment System for Increased Longevity. A proprietary methodology that combines genetic, biological, and lifestyle data to identify the specific factors driving biological ageing in each individual.

Any brand can promise you'll live longer. The harder question, the one most brands can't answer, is which specific aspects of your biology are driving how fast you age. And what you actually do about it.

That's what FitnessGenes was built to answer.

Whether unilateral or bilateral training matters more for you might already be written in your DNA.

Most training debates focus on what works best on average. Squats vs split squats. Both legs vs one leg. The honest answer from the research? Both have a place and the best programmes use both.

But here's what most coaches don't factor in: your COL5A1 gene.

COL5A1 codes for type V collagen - a structural protein critical to the integrity of tendons and ligaments. A variant called rs12722 has been consistently linked to elevated risk of soft tissue injury. A 2022 meta-analysis of 21 studies found this variant is associated with increased susceptibility to ligament and tendon injuries, including ACL tears and Achilles tendinopathy.

For people carrying the higher-risk TT genotype, unilateral training isn't just a nice addition to a programme. It's a targeted tool for building the single-leg stability, joint control, and neuromuscular coordination that helps protect the tissues most at risk.

Your training plan shouldn't just be built around what you want to achieve. It should be built around what your biology actually needs. 🧬

Your body stores fat in two completely different ways, and your DNA writes the rules for both.

Subcutaneous Fat (~90% of your fat): This is the soft layer you can physically pinch right under your skin (on your hips, thighs, or belly). It acts as long-term insulation and is naturally more stubborn and slower to burn off.

Visceral Fat (~10% of your fat): This is the deep, hidden fat packed inside your abdominal cavity, wrapping tightly around your liver, pancreas, and intestines. Because it sits so close to vital organs, carrying too much of it drives systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular risks.

How Your Genetics Play a Role

Your DNA heavily influences your baseline fat storage architecture. It dictates your starting levels of both fat types, where your body prefers to distribute excess calories, and how efficiently it can break those stores back down into fuel.

A FitnessGenes DNA test analyzes specific variants in the ASHG, UCP2, and LEPR genes to decode your hereditary fat distribution profile, giving you a clear look at your unique metabolic baseline.

While you can't change your genes, knowing it allows you to optimise your lifestyle.

The good news? Visceral fat is highly responsive to targeted aerobic exercise, dietary changes, and cutting alcohol.

The single genetic switch that allows a tiny freshwater creature to stay biologically immortal - and why you have it too. 🧬💧

In the world of longevity science, there is one gene that consistently steals the spotlight whenever researchers look at people who live remarkably long, healthy lives into their 90s and 100s: FOXO3.

Think of the FOXO3 protein as a master cellular site manager. It is one of the deepest, most ancient regulators of ageing in all of biology, shared by worms, flies, humans, and a tiny creature called the Hydra, which uses its FoxO gene to effectively stay immortal.

The Ultimate Cellular Defence Team

When FOXO3 is switched on, it launches an incredibly broad set of protective programs simultaneously:

Cleans House: It aggressively clears out damaged proteins and tells cells that are too far gone to retire safely, lowering cancer risks.

Protects Your Heart: Cardiovascular decline is often the first system to fail as we age. In lab studies, activating FOXO3 in human blood vessel cells caused them to age slower, shrug off oxidative damage, and regenerate tissue more effectively.
Dampens "Inflammaging": It cools down the slow-burning, chronic inflammation that underpins almost every disease of ageing.

Can you actually control it? While you can't change the specific variant you were born with, you have massive control over how active the protein is.

When your body is persistently exposed to high insulin signals, FOXO3 is suppressed and stays inactive. When those insulin signals drop, FOXO3 is liberated to enter the cell's regulatory centre and start repairing your biology.

This is exactly why practices like intermittent fasting, moderation in eating, and physical activity are so heavily endorsed by longevity experts - they are literally flipping your FOXO3 master switch.

Your DNA sets the foundational potential; your habits decide if you actually realize it.

Blood tests tell you your current score. Your DNA explains the rules. 🩸📉

If you’re regularly running blood panels through services like Thriva or Bluecrest Wellness, you are making a fantastic investment in your health. But you are still working with a temporary snapshot.

Take hereditary hemochromatosis as a prime example. This progressive condition causes your body to absorb and store dangerous amounts of excess iron, leading to long-term joint, liver, and cardiovascular damage.

The trap? In younger adults and premenopausal women, standard ferritin blood markers can look perfectly normal for decades while that iron accumulation is quietly happening in the background. By the time it finally flags on a standard blood draw, irreversible underlying damage might already be done.

Testing your HFE gene via FitnessGenes flips the script. It flags your hereditary predisposition before your ferritin climbs, turning a serious health risk into a highly manageable, proactive lifestyle plan.

You only ever sequence your DNA once. Give your blood panels the manual they actually deserve.

"It helped me connect a lot of dots." Why Adam stopped guessing at age 40. 🧬👀

When Adam turned 40, his perspective on fitness shifted. He wasn't just training for aesthetics anymore; he wanted clarity on long-term health, longevity, and protecting himself for his young family.

After suffering a severe tendon rupture, he decided to stop experimenting blindly and look at his genetic blueprint.

What Adam Discovered:

The Injury Component: His reports confirmed genetic markers pointing to higher tendon and ligament injury susceptibility, alongside specific recovery and oxidative stress profiles.

The Cardiovascular Blueprint: He identified markers suggesting he needed to pay closer attention to cardiovascular indicators, specifically lipoprotein(a). This gave him the exact roadmap he needed for his next targeted blood test.

The Supplement Filter: Instead of buying every supplement on the market, he gained clarity on what was actually worth prioritising for his body, focusing on consistent Omega-3s, Vitamin D, Vitamin B complex, and Collagen with Vitamin C.

"Instead of guessing, I now feel I have a clearer idea of what’s actually worth focusing on." — Adam

Your genetics aren't a fixed verdict, but they are an invaluable baseline filter. Like Adam, you don’t need to overhaul your entire life overnight - you just need to know where to look first.
