Nutrition & Fitness

Genetic differences can influence how you respond to certain nutrients, foods and types of exercise. Nutrition and fitness genetic tests look at some of these differences.

What these tests explore

  • Genetic tendencies related to nutrient needs, such as folate, vitamin D or omega-3
  • How you may process caffeine, lactose and alcohol
  • Tendencies related to weight, appetite and metabolism
  • Traits linked to endurance, power, recovery and injury risk

What the evidence says

Well established: A few genetic results, such as lactase persistence and caffeine metabolism, are well understood.

Mixed or emerging: Many diet and fitness associations have small effects, and studies on whether gene-based plans improve results are mixed. Your habits, environment and overall health usually matter more than any single variant.

Important limitations: Genetic results describe tendencies, not your current nutrient levels, fitness or health. They don't diagnose any condition. If you have a medical condition or a history of disordered eating, talk to a healthcare provider before making significant diet or exercise changes.
