Your Genetics
Why are your genes so important?
Blood testing provides valuable insights into your current health status, such as vitamin and mineral levels, hormone balance, and markers of inflammation. However, genetic testing goes deeper by uncovering the foundational factors that influence how your body responds to nutrients and supplementation on a long-term basis.
​
What is handy about your DNA is that is doesn't change - your underlying genetic code remains the same, from the day you are born, to the day you expire. Which is why it is completely central to our approach.
Here’s why genetic testing is an essential component for truly personalized nutrition:
-
Uncovering Long-Term Nutrient Needs: Blood tests reveal nutrient levels at a specific point in time, which can fluctuate based on diet, lifestyle, and recent health changes. Genetic testing, on the other hand, provides insights into your body’s baseline ability to process, absorb, and utilize nutrients. This enables us to tailor supplements to your genetic predispositions rather than temporary snapshots, offering a more stable and consistent approach to your health.
-
Understanding Metabolic and Absorption Variations: Genes determine how efficiently you absorb and metabolize nutrients. For example, genetic testing can identify if you’re predisposed to poor vitamin D absorption or require higher levels of B vitamins. While blood tests can show current deficiencies, they don’t reveal the root causes behind them. Genetic insights allow for proactive supplementation designed to match your unique metabolic needs.
-
Insight into Exercise, Recovery, and Performance: Genes play a significant role in how your body handles exercise stress, muscle repair, and recovery. By understanding your genetic predispositions, we can design supplements that support optimal performance and recovery, customized to your body’s specific requirements. Blood tests can indicate signs of fatigue or overtraining but don’t provide the genetic clues that allow for true long-term optimization.
-
Preventative Health Beyond Current Status: Genetic testing offers a roadmap for future health, identifying risks and needs that may not yet be visible in a blood test. By understanding potential predispositions for conditions related to nutrition—like bone density, inflammation, and oxidative stress—we can craft supplements that act preventatively, targeting your long-term health goals.
-
Precision, Consistency, and Convenience: While blood tests often require multiple sessions to track changes and can vary with recent diet or lifestyle shifts, genetic testing requires just one sample. Your DNA doesn’t change over time, so a single test offers consistent, lifelong insights, making it more convenient and reliable for building a supplement plan tailored to your core biological needs.
Myoform's comprehensive genetic testing approach
Most genetic testing companies focus on single genes or limited sets of genetic markers, analyzing only a small portion of your DNA. While these tests provide some insight, they lack the depth and accuracy needed for truly personalized nutrition. Myoform uses whole genome sequencing to offer a more comprehensive, data-rich understanding of your unique genetic profile.
Here’s why:
-
Comprehensive Genetic Insight: Unlike limited tests that analyze only a fraction of your genes, whole genome sequencing decodes the full 3 billion base pairs of your DNA. This enables us to identify a far broader range of genetic markers influencing everything from nutrient absorption to injury susceptibility and energy levels, allowing for an unmatched level of personalization.
​
-
Greater Precision in Supplement Formulation: By looking at your entire genome, we pinpoint specific genetic variations affecting how your body processes nutrients. This level of detail ensures that each supplement dose, ingredient, and formulation is optimized to fit your exact biology—something traditional tests simply can’t match.
​
-
Ongoing Innovation and Updated Science: Our whole genome approach is future-proof. As genetic research advances, Myoform can continuously integrate the latest findings into your recommendations. Standard D2C testing often lacks this flexibility, providing static results that may not keep pace with scientific advancements.
​
-
Customized for Your Lifestyle and Goals: Myoform goes beyond generic health insights. Our personalized recommendations and supplements consider your activity level, dietary preferences, and fitness goals to deliver a truly holistic plan. Most testing companies offer generic reports that are limited in scope and lack this depth of customization.
​
-
Quality and Transparency in Every Step: We work only with certified labs and trusted ingredient suppliers, holding ourselves to the highest standards of quality and transparency. This commitment ensures the accuracy and reliability of your genetic data and the safety of your personalized supplements.
​
-
Reusability of Results For Everyday Life: ​​We want our customers to never need to do another genetic test in their lives. Most companies that provide testing are so limited in scope that in practice, their future utility is poor. So by doing a comprehensive test now with Myoform, your data can be transferred for other health services that require testing.
