Reach the Peak of Fitness with Nutrigenetic Testing! (please specify which panel, or both, you are interested in when booking your appointment - price is for each panel)
'Ascend Genetics' tests for specific gene mutations shown in scientific literature to be associated with diet and exercise. Using the database of published scientific research we have selected the most informative genes to test for diet and exercise information. The result is quick and inexpensive testing to look at your genetic information. This information can be used to tailor your diet and workouts help you reach your true potential.
**Exercise & Fitness Panel**
- This panel is designed to identify the body's genetic potential for certain types of exercise, such as endurance training, sprinting, and resistance training.
- Also tested is your potential response to exercise for factors such as body composition, strength, blood pressure, and cholesterol. Genes correlated to VO2Max, potentials for cramping and muscle soreness, and risk for arthritis are also tested. This list is constantly updated as we regularly review the literature for new tests to add and updated interpretations of current tests.
- The exercise and fitness panel is a great way to start a new workout regimen, or try to mix up your current workout if you feel you are not getting the most out of it.

**Nutrition & Diet Panel**

Response to diet and exercise in terms of weight loss are also tested, as well as risk factors for certain vitamin deficiencies and genes linked to eating behaviors; such as snacking, hunger response, addictive eating, and satiety. This list is constantly updated as we regularly review the literature for new tests to add and updated interpretations of current tests.
