The Role Of Genetics In Health & Wellness
The genes (DNA) you inherit from your parents are like a blueprint for your body that is unique to you. Genes determine physical characteristics, such as hair color and eye color. It also affects things you cannot see - like how your body uses and metabolizes nutrients and how it responds to exercise.
Have you ever wondered why your friend can eat a whole pizza and not gain an ounce, but you gain a pound just by looking at it? Or why your muscles are sore to the touch the day after a workout, while your partner who did the same workout doesn't feel any pain? You aren't alone. The good news is, now you can do something about it!
While you can’t change your DNA, you can discover how your genes influence your nutrition and fitness to help you eliminate the guesswork and approach your lifestyle choices with (science-backed) confidence. How? It’s easy with the myDNA Personalized Wellness test.

Who is myDNA?
myDNA was founded in 2007 by clinical geneticist and leader in the field of genetics research, Les Shefflied, with one vision in mind - use science to eliminate the guesswork for prescribing medication. Backed by decades of scientific experience Les’ work enabled healthcare professionals to make more accurate prescribing decisions based on information about how their patient’s genes impact their metabolism of certain medications. Since then, myDNA has expanded into the use of genetics to help people eliminate the guesswork from other aspects of their life, such as health and wellness. It now focuses on its mission of empowering people to live happier and healthier lives. We could not be more excited to be working with myDNA to help families live their best life!
