The client receives a DNA testing kit, completes a simple cheek swab, and returns the sample according to the provided instructions.

Genetic testing and analysis are completed through Genetic Direction, a company specializing in genetic insights related to fitness, nutrition, and wellness.

Results take approximately one month on average after the lab receives the sample, although processing times may occasionally vary.

I have completed certification/training that allows me to review, interpret, and explain the Genetic Direction fitness and nutrition results. I personally go through the report with each client and help translate the information into practical fitness and nutrition strategies. I am interpreting the results within my scope as a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach and am not acting as a physician, genetic counselor, or medical provider.

Results may provide insight into genetic tendencies related to areas such as exercise response, strength and endurance characteristics, recovery, nutrition, body composition, and other fitness or wellness traits. Genetics are only one part of the overall picture.

No. DNA results provide additional information that I combine with the client's goals, current habits, lifestyle, training history, preferences, and progress. The purpose is to create a more individualized approach—not allow genetics to dictate everything.

FitMe DNA test is intended for fitness, nutrition, and wellness education. It is not designed to diagnose, treat, prevent, or predict medical conditions and should not replace advice from a physician, registered dietitian, genetic counselor, or other licensed healthcare professional.

We review the results together so the client understands what they mean, identify the insights that may be useful for their goals, and use those findings along with their current lifestyle and habits to help personalize their training and nutrition approach.

FitMe DNA Fitness + Nutrition package includes 30 days of personalized coaching, beginning after the DNA results are received and reviewed. Coaching may include personalized workouts, macro targets, progress tracking, accountability, and adjustments based on the client's individual needs.

Sample processing and genetic data are handled by the third-party testing provider and are subject to Genetic Direction and its laboratory partners' applicable privacy policies and terms. I Encourage clients to review those policies before submitting their sample.
