Every report opens with a clear Executive Summary that cuts through the complexity. No jargon. No ambiguity. Just your top 3 genetic strengths and your top 3 priority actions — ranked by impact.

This is what you see first when you open your report. Everything else is the supporting evidence.

Your Genetic Strengths (Elite Advantages)

  • Elite Endurance Engine: ACTN3 XX + ACE II + PPARGC1A GG creates maximum endurance capacity. You're in the top 5% for aerobic genetic potential.
  • Efficient Fat Burner: FTO protective variants enable superior metabolic flexibility. You can adapt to various fuelling strategies effectively.
  • High Focus & Trainability: COMT AA grants exceptional attention to detail and skill acquisition. Complex movements come naturally with practice.

Your Top 3 Priority Actions

  • Fix Sleep First: Your CYP1A2 + ADORA2A combination makes you vulnerable to caffeine-induced sleep disruption. Strict 11am curfew — this is priority #1.
  • Implement Injury Prevention: Moderate collagen risk (35/100) requires mandatory warm-up and progressive loading protocols. Don't skip this.
  • Embrace Endurance: Stop fighting your genetics. Your body is built for Hyrox and ultra events — lean into this strength rather than forcing power adaptations.

The Question Answered

Many athletes come to us with a specific question: "Should I focus on ultra endurance or shorter events?"

Your genetics provide a remarkably clear answer. When we see elite endurance markers combined with power deficits, we don't hedge — we tell you exactly where your DNA says you'll excel.

Genetics aren't your ceiling. They're your roadmap.

Not all genetic insights are equally urgent. Our reports use a Traffic Light System to instantly show you what needs immediate attention versus what's already working for you:

  • RED — Immediate Action Required: Critical conflicts actively limiting your performance right now
  • YELLOW — Manage & Monitor: Genetic biases requiring consistent long-term management
  • GREEN — Leverage & Optimise: Your genetic strengths to double-down on

Immediate Action Required

Caffeine & Sleep Conflict: You are a slow caffeine metaboliser (CYP1A2 AC) with high anxiety sensitivity (ADORA2A CT). Your current intake is likely disrupting deep sleep architecture even if you fall asleep easily.

Action Required: Implement strict caffeine curfew at 11:00 AM. This single change could unlock 5-10% performance improvement without additional training.

Manage & Monitor

Moderate Injury Risk: Your collagen profile (COL5A1 CT, TNC AT) indicates moderate susceptibility to soft tissue injuries. Not critical, but requires consistent attention.

Ongoing Protocol: Extended warm-ups (15-20 minutes), strict 10% weekly progression rule, collagen + Vitamin C supplementation pre-workout.

Leverage & Optimise

Elite Endurance Engine: Your ACTN3 XX + PPARGC1A GG combination creates exceptional capacity for endurance performance. This is a genuine competitive advantage.

Strategy: Shift training focus toward longer duration events. Your body is built for efficiency — embrace it. Consider Hyrox, Ultra-running, or Ironman distance events.

Outlier Insight: The "Caffeine Catastrophe" Profile

Some athletes discover they're slow caffeine metabolisers (CYP1A2 AC/CC) combined with high anxiety sensitivity (ADORA2A CC). This combination means:

  • Caffeine stays in your system 6-8+ hours (vs 3-4 hours for fast metabolisers)
  • Every afternoon coffee is destroying your deep sleep architecture
  • Up to 30-40% of the population carries this challenging combination

One simple change — a strict caffeine curfew — could unlock significant performance gains without any additional training volume.

Each report begins with a dashboard of ten gauges. Every gauge aggregates multiple gene markers into a single 0 to 100 score, so you can read your profile at a glance.

Outlier insight: the pure endurance profile

Some athletes score 95 to 100 on the power vs endurance gauge. This combination appears in fewer than 5 percent of European populations, and far less in West African populations. The report explains how to train around these rare strengths without forcing a power dominant path.

The ACTN3 gene determines your muscle fibre composition — whether you're built for explosive sprints or sustained endurance. Combined with ACE (cardiovascular efficiency) and PPARGC1A (mitochondrial capacity), we calculate your exact position on the power-endurance spectrum.

This isn't about labelling you — it's about training intelligently. Know where your genetics place you, then decide how to work with or against that foundation.

Power vs. Endurance Genetic Bias

Pure Endurance (95)
Power/CrossFit Ultra Endurance

What This Means For You

A score of 95 indicates your genetics strongly favour endurance performance. You likely excel at pacing, have excellent fatigue resistance, and recover well from high-volume training. Power and sprint work will require more dedicated training blocks to develop — but it's absolutely achievable.

Outlier Insight: Population Genetics

The ACTN3 XX genotype (pure slow-twitch) varies dramatically by ancestry:

  • European populations: ~18% carry XX
  • Asian populations: ~25% carry XX
  • West African descent: Only ~1% carry XX

This means an athlete of West African descent with ACTN3 XX has an extraordinarily rare genetic profile — appearing in just 1 in 100 individuals from their population. This doesn't limit potential; it provides crucial context for training approach.

CYP1A2 determines how quickly your liver processes caffeine. ADORA2A determines how sensitive your brain is to its effects. Together, they predict whether caffeine is your performance ally or your sleep destroyer.

This is often the highest-impact, lowest-cost intervention we identify — changing caffeine timing costs nothing but can unlock significant performance gains.

Caffeine Metabolism & Sensitivity

High Sensitivity (88)
Fast/Tolerant Slow/Sensitive

High Sensitivity Profile Detected

A score of 88 indicates you're a slow metaboliser with high brain sensitivity. Caffeine that a fast metaboliser clears in 3-4 hours stays in your system for 6-8+ hours. Your afternoon coffee is still 50% active at midnight.

Mandatory Action: Strict caffeine curfew at 11:00 AM. No exceptions. This includes pre-workout supplements.

Outlier Insight: The Sleep Destroyer

Fast metabolisers (CYP1A2 AA): Clear caffeine in 3-4 hours. Can drink coffee at 4pm and sleep fine at 10pm. Caffeine is a reliable ergogenic aid for these athletes.

Slow metabolisers (CYP1A2 AC/CC): Caffeine lingers 6-8+ hours. That 2pm coffee is still 50% active at midnight — destroying deep sleep architecture even if you fall asleep easily.

Combined with ADORA2A CC (high anxiety sensitivity), this creates the "Red Light" caffeine profile — where every cup after 11am is actively sabotaging recovery and performance. Up to 30-40% of the population carries this challenging combination.

Generic supplement advice assumes everyone responds identically. Your genetics tell a different story. We analyse GAMT (endogenous creatine production), CKMM (creatine kinase activity), and ACTN3 (fibre type) to predict your creatine response.

The difference between a high responder and non-responder can mean the difference between 5-15% power gains and literally zero benefit.

Creatine Supplementation Response

Low-Moderate (40)
Non-Responder High Responder

Low-Moderate Responder Profile

A score of 40 suggests you'll see modest benefits from creatine supplementation — but not the dramatic gains experienced by high responders. Your body already produces adequate endogenous creatine (GAMT profile), reducing the impact of supplementation.

Recommendation: Trial creatine for 8 weeks and objectively measure performance. If gains are minimal, reallocate your supplement budget to alternatives like beta-alanine or citrulline malate.

Outlier Insight: The £300/Year Question

Research shows up to 30% of Europeans are genetic non-responders to creatine supplementation.

If you're spending £15-25/month on creatine with the GAMT CC genotype, you're potentially wasting £180-300 annually on a supplement your body can't effectively utilise.

Conversely, athletes with GAMT TT + CKMM AA + ACTN3 RR are HIGH RESPONDERS who may see 5-15% power output increases from the same supplement — a genuinely significant competitive advantage.

Know before you spend.

Five genes determine your connective tissue resilience: COL1A1, COL5A1 (x2 variants), TNC, and MMP3. We calculate a composite Tissue Resilience score that predicts your soft tissue injury vulnerability.

This isn't about scaring you — it's about prevention protocols. Athletes with high-risk profiles who follow proper protocols often have fewer injuries than low-risk athletes who skip warm-ups.

Connective Tissue Resilience

Moderate Risk (35)
High Injury Risk Protected

Moderate Risk — Prevention Protocol Required

  • Extended warm-ups: Minimum 15-20 minutes (vs 10 min standard)
  • Strict progression: Maximum 10% weekly load increase
  • Collagen protocol: 15-20g collagen + 50mg Vitamin C, 30-60 mins pre-workout
  • Eccentric strengthening: 2-3x/week for tendon conditioning

Outlier Insight: The Elite Advantage

The protective COL5A1 CC genotype is found in 22-24% of elite athletes — significantly higher than the general population. Natural selection at work.

Athletes with the TT risk variant have 1.52x odds ratio for soft tissue injuries. For these athletes, extended warm-ups, strict progressive loading, and collagen + Vitamin C supplementation aren't optional — they're mandatory.

Knowing your collagen genetics transforms injury prevention from guesswork to precision medicine.

IL6 controls your inflammatory response to exercise. COMT determines your stress resilience — the famous "Warrior vs Worrier" gene. SOD2 manages oxidative stress cleanup. Together, they predict how quickly you recover and how you handle pressure.

Neither Warrior nor Worrier is "better" — they're different strategies for different situations. Knowing which you are allows you to train and compete intelligently.

Genetic Stress Response

Worrier (15)
Worrier (Focus) Warrior (Resilient)

The "Worrier" Advantage

COMT AA ("Worrier") profiles have naturally high dopamine levels. This creates exceptional focus, attention to detail, and skill acquisition ability. You don't need "hyping up" — you need calming strategies.

Strengths: Technical precision, learning complex movements, sustained attention
Challenges: Pre-competition anxiety, overthinking under acute pressure, caffeine sensitivity

Outlier Insight: The "Wired & Tired" Paradox

Some athletes have a dangerous mismatch:

  • IL6 GG (low inflammation) — muscles don't get sore
  • COMT AA (Worrier) — brain stays over-stimulated
  • SOD2 TT (low antioxidant) — cellular repair is slow

Result: You feel recovered because you're not sore, but your brain is wired and your cells are still repairing. This is the "Wired & Tired" paradox — and it's a recipe for overtraining and burnout.

Solution: Trust objective markers (HRV, sleep quality) over subjective feelings. Schedule rest regardless of how you feel. Your body is lying to you.
