“Your genes may load the gun but your lifestyle pulls the trigger.”

Being fit but unhealthy is a recurring theme; it delineates effort from struggle in life and sport.
The keys to your mansion of unparalleled health, performance, and longevity are heightened when lifestyle matches chronotype. Performance optimization cannot occur without first enhancing health. Homeostasis is the dynamic interaction between genetics and lifestyle [nature and nurture]. Synergy is the lynchpin.
Epigenetics represents an unprecedented, bold medical paradigm that leverages cutting-edge technology to shift genetic expression, delivering mind-blowing results in life and sport.
Epigenetics provides visionary, incisive, evidence-based measures and strategic actions to genetically optimize and enhance health, performance, and longevity – because life begins and ends at the cellular level.
Epigenetics represents the study of changes in organisms caused by modifications to gene expression, absent any alteration to the genetic code [DNA blueprint/sequence]. “Epi” is the Greek lexicon for “above.” Epigenetic markers are positioned above your DNA sequence and impact gene expression/suppression based on lifestyle factors [methylation].
Your DNA blueprint is absolute and cannot be altered. Think of epigenetic markers as apostrophes sprinkled above the letters and words of a sentence [your DNA sequence]. Your DNA provides instructions for producing proteins inside cells. Epigenetic markers impact [like a dimmer switch] how genes are read by cells.
Proper gene expression is a big deal. The mayhem begins when a gene is expressed when it should be suppressed or vice versa, and its impact reaches far beyond a sub-par training day. This invites inflammation, chronic and degenerative diseases, accelerated biological aging, senescence, and a plethora of other undesirable outcomes – no matter the endurance athlete’s level of fitness.
The promise of epigenetic testing is its depiction of cellular integrity. When variants highlight abnormal cellular function, it allows the opportunity to reverse chronic, degenerative, autoimmune states, cancer, and biological aging and improve your health, performance, and longevity via gene expression modification.
Systems Approach
It is necessary to integrate a complex systems approach to optimize health, performance, and longevity. It is essential to understand that the human system is an unpredictable, complex system, rather than a complicated system.
The human system is adaptive and dynamic. App algorithms focus on complicated, predictable, and static biometrics.
The invaluable art of applying complicated data to complex thinking is “augmented intelligence.” The precise interpretation of complicated data is the key to transcending health, performance, and longevity in life and sport.
Epigenetic testing offers critical data regarding ultra-endurance performance. It pinpoints how training and lifestyle impact one’s biological health, which allows targeted modifications to the following:
→ Physiological adaptations to endurance training;
→ Optimized training blueprint;
→ Precision endurance sports nutrition;
→ Recovery strategies;
→ Biological age insights;
→ Inflammation mitigation;
→ Metabolic health;
→ Immune system function;
→ Pace of aging impact;
→ Organ health;
→ Disease propensity;
→ Optimized supplementation;
→ And more
