Eliminate assumptions with science
We use science to eliminate trial and error in managing your health.
The science behind DNA analysis
Genetic testing has become mainstream and is the future of preventative health.
In addition to the thousands of tests offered for medical conditions and diseases, the science and research behind genetic testing related to lifestyle and wellness markers has advanced to the point of understanding the specific genes that dictate how the human body processes carbohydrates, fats, proteins, micronutrients, and more, and how specific genes determine the effectiveness of certain fitness activities.
Using the cutting-edge genetic testing technology and scientific understanding of the human genome available today, Origin26 develops tailored health, wellness, nutrition and exercise programs based and curated around your unique DNA. . Now that the cost of genetic testing has come down to the point where it is possible to use this technology for health management programs offered to the general public.
Programs tailored to an individual’s DNA have proven to be much more effective than generic programs. A recent study published by the European Society for Human Genetics found that dieters using weight management programs tailored to the individual’s genome lost up to 33% more weight than those following weight loss programs. “one size fits all” standard weight. With the latest genomics technology, any health management program that does not consider an individual’s genetic profile is just guesswork.
The research
Clinical studies and research into genetic testing related to lifestyle and wellness markers have rapidly increased in quality and volume since the human genome was first mapped in 2003. As technology testing improves and the cost of analyzing an individual’s DNA decreases, more research facilities and universities around the world are able to perform more studies with groups of subjects more important tests, which makes it possible to discover more about the links between genetics and preventive health.
Our top exercise genomics scientists review relevant published research and update our solution protocols to include newly identified findings so that Origin26 customers have the strongest scientific basis for their personalized recommendations.
