Building a better physique doesnāt automatically mean youāre building a healthier body.
During this bodybuilding prep, Iāve been thinking more about whatās happening underneath the physique too ā not just muscle, strength, body fat and calories.
Thatās why I tried CircleDNA
Out of 500+ insights, a few stood out to me personally:
š§¬ Higher needs for DHA and Vitamin D ā so I can be more intentional with supplementation instead of taking things blindly.
š§¬ Lower appetite control ā useful to know while dieting, so I rely less on willpower and more on filling foods, slower eating and a better food environment.
š§¬ Elevated genetic risk for high cholesterol and hypertension ā which gives me even more reason to prioritise cardio, fibre, sensible sodium intake and regular health monitoring.
The biggest takeaway: genetics donāt decide your future, but they can show you what may deserve more attention.
The fundamentals still matter ā eat well, exercise, sleep properly and maintain a healthy body composition. CircleDNA just gives me another layer of information to make those decisions more personal.
If youāre already investing in your health, training and nutrition, you might find it interesting to see what your own DNA says too.
