PerformancePlus
Personalised insights for an active life with next generation genetic analysis
Personalised answers for an active life
Unlocking the potential for a healthy life and peak physical performance depends on so much more than how many steps we walk in a day, the frequency of our visits to the gym, or the latest diet trend.
It’s more personal, and more holistic, than that. The approach we take to optimising our health, performance and wellbeing should be as complete, and unique, as our individual genetic code.
Introducing PerformancePlus
The personalised, in-depth report to explain the role our genes play in our health, performance and wellbeing, based on next generation genetic analysis. No more one-size-fits-all. Just the right fit.
Solution
PerformancePlus
In our state-of-the-art, secure laboratory in Austria, we test a simple saliva sample to discover which genetic variants influence body weight, nutrition, ageing, plus the ability to detox and handle stress. Based on this in-depth scientific analysis, we create personalised recommendations and strategies* to help you to help your clients reach their goals.
PerformancePlus Includes
Weight Management
Nutritional type:
Sensitivity to fat, carbs and protein. How genes influence calorie intake, feelings of hunger and satiety, and snacking behaviour.
Exercise or calorie reduction?
If weight loss through exercise or calorie reduction is the right choice.
Muscle mass maintenance:
How genes influence muscle mass loss and maintenance when losing weight, and what this means for exercise choices.
Fat distribution:
How genes influence fat distribution and what this means for your clients’ health.
How to avoid the yo-yo effect:
How genes influence whether people quickly regain weight, or retain weight stability after weight reduction.
Healthy Nutrition
The effect of Omega 3 on HDL-Cholesterol:
How genes influence the effect of Omega 3 on the so-called
‘good’ cholesterol, HDL.
The effect of folic acid:
How MTHFR genes affect folic acid conversion, important for blood cell formation and cell division.
Heart protection from homocysteine:
The influence of genes on regulating homocysteine levels, a building block for proteins, which can have a negative impact in excess. How homocysteine can protect the heart.
Salt and your blood pressure:
How genes influence the effect of salt on blood pressure.
The effect of Vitamin D3:
How VDR genes affect the requirement of Vitamin D3, important for bone health.
How LCT genes affect calcium intake:
Genes influence how well people tolerate lactose, which in turn affects how much calcium is needed.
Inflammation and the immune system:
How genes protect against an excessive immune response.
Regulation of LDL Cholesterol:
How genes affect the LDL cholesterol level, the so-called ‘bad’ cholesterol.
Regulation of triglycerides:
Learn how genes influence triglyceride levels.
The right iron intake:
How HFE genes affect iron absorption, important for blood formation and oxygen transport in the blood.
Detox
The effect of coffee and caffeine:
How CYP1A2 genes affect caffeine neutralisation – coffee and caffeine are not good for everyone.
The efficacy of Coenzyme Q10, the anti-ageing molecule:
How well genes convert Coenzyme Q10 into its active form, ubiquinol.
The detoxification of carcinogens:
How well genes can protect against burnt substances, e.g. cigarette smoke, exhaust fumes, ash and burnt foods.
Detoxification of chemicals:
How well the body neutralises herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, etc. thanks to GST genes.
Ageing protection against oxidative stress:
How genes fight free radicals to protect against oxidative stress.
Sufficient selenium supply:
How the GPX1 gene controls how much selenium is needed to protect against free radicals, regulate inflammation processes and support immunity.
The influence of alcohol and drugs:
How genes affect alcohol dependence, and the risk of mental illness in drug use.
Aging Process
Telomere preservation:
How genes influence the continuous shortening of the chromosome ends, known as telomeres, and biological age.
Stress & Burnout
Resistance to stress and negative feelings:
How genes influence how well people can handle stress, resistance to negative feelings, resilience towards negative emotions, performance under stress and predisposition to impulsivity.
Athletic Performance
Oxygen uptake (VO2max):
Your genetic capability to absorb and transport oxygen to muscles.
Oxidative stress:
The degradation of free radicals and the right dose of antioxidants.
Inflammatory response and injury:
How your genes control the aggressiveness of the immune system, inflammatory response and your risk of injury.
Recovery phase:
Information on rest periods between training sessions.
Optimal calorie balance:
The optimal distribution of calories as fuel for peak performance.
Based on this analysis, we create logical conclusions and a personalised performance programme schedule, and recommended competition diet to improve performance.*
Personalised Recommendations
Based on scientific analysis, we generate action plans and personalised recommendations that take individual biological data into account*.
900+ Food Types:
A detailed list evaluating over 900 food types, tailored to each individual genetic profile, to help your clients make informed choices for effective weight loss and healthy nutrition.
Personalised Recipe book:
A recipe book tailored to each individual genetic profile, with 100 recipes and 40 daily menus to support optimal success.
30 Snacks:
A list of snacks that are always allowed for guilt-free indulgence.
70 Sport Activities:
A customised plan with precise calculations for training sessions, aligning with weight loss and maintenance objectives.

Disclaimer
Science: Today, there are already about 4 million scientific publications that have studied the effects of certain gene defects on the human body. A typical finding from this sounds something like this: “If you have gene defect X, vitamin Y cannot be converted and remains ineffective.” Only when the effects of a gene defect have been independently demonstrated by at least three different studies is the gene test included in the program. Therefore, the influence of a gene defect is always backed by several scientific studies, and you can find the sources for this in the back part of each chapter. The genetic traits given by this analysis are thus considered to be based on scientific studies.
Recommendation: Recommendations based on your genetic profile. The recommendations derived from your genetic traits are often not determined by studies, but are often logical conclusions. An example: If a certain vitamin doesn’t work due to a gene variation, the conclusion is to switch to another vitamin with a similar effect. We achieve this for example by changing your diet or supplementation. So, it is important to understand that the recommendations developed by our experts are not based on randomized, placebo-controlled studies, but were created as logical conclusions based on your genetic traits.
