REVEAL YOUR BODYS DIET. EXERCISE AND LIFESTYLE PREFERENCES ACCORDING TO YOUR DNA.

At PT Today, we tested Vitl’s DNA Nutrition Test ourselves to see just how much we can find out about our health; and amount of in depth information we got was amazing! In late 2019, I sent off my saliva sample. The process was simple. I got the kit in the post, registered the code from the box onto my Vitl account, and did the swab. This is something that I’d personally prefer to do over a blood sample, because of the ease (and lack of pain involved)! I popped the tube into the provided postage bag, and into the post box. It took just over 3 weeks (and this was over the festive period) for my sample to be received, and analysed by the nutritionist. I was sent an email when my results were ready, and the link sent me straight to this page. I absolutely love how minimalistic and easy it is to navigate. With all of my information in one place; or the option to select a separate category such as Skin care, Weight management, Digestion, Energy levels, Stress & anxiety, Physical performance, Immunity, Fertility, Pregnancy, Postnatal, Hair, Intolerances, Sleep and Sugar consumption! It’s so quick to find out my nutritional information on certain parts of my life. From looking through the results, it seems that the Typical traits are positive, whereas Impactful traits are negative. This makes it even easier to see the levels of good and bad things in my body; meaning that I can adapt my habits accordingly. For example, finding out that I am highly likely to have a slow metabolism, due

to a problem with the leptin or thyroid hormones. This has increased my awareness of what I eat and how much exercise I should do to balance out the slow metabolic rate. With regards to vitamin intakes, the Vitl results tell you which genes are affecting that particular vitamin level, what foods to eat to increase it, as well as your own personalised vitamin pack with the vitamins you need to feel your best delivered straight to your door in handy daily strips. What more help could you need, right? After finding out all you need to know about your genes, how they have affected your health (and which parent to blame!); it’s time to do something about it. Not only do you get a personalised vitamin pack, but also a meal plan developed by a nutritionist. Here is an example of a recipe from my meal plan. Along with the ingredients and method, it tells you how long it’ll take, how many servings, how many calories, the difficulty, and all the nutritional info you need. Despite being a vegetarian myself, this recipe can easily be adapted to my diet with a chicken substitute, such as Quorn Pieces, without losing the protein levels. Another thing that Vitl told me, is that I am highly likely to have sleep bruxism, according to my genes. This involves teeth grinding and jaw clenching at night. I am definitely now more aware that I find myself clenching my jaw before I go to sleep without realising. Vitl explains that this is usually related to stress levels, and lists a number of methods to alleviate it; such as, taking a bath with Epsom salts or practising meditation before bed. I have discovered so much that I didn’t know about my body. Not only does the test tell you the likely levels of your vitamins based on your genes, it tells you how to change your lifestyle to balance them out regarding exercise, mental wellness and dietary needs. From my experience, this is a fantastic service to invest in if you are intrigued by what your DNA has to say about you and\or looking to increase your wellness levels for an improved quality of life. The DNA Nutrition Test is currently at £69.00 (from £119.00) - get yours and even more information on the Vitl kits at vitl.com
