As an athlete, you’re always looking to find ways to improve your performance! It’s natural, right? We all love winning and progressing.
So what if you could have a diet plan, a way of improving recovery, and a method of boosting immunity completely custom to you? Sounds too good to be true!
As a DNA Integrated Nutrition coach who inserts genetic health insights into the programs of my clients, I want to share with you 7 ways you can improve your athletic performance by using a DNA test:
- Avoid micronutrient deficiencies
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can show their face in many ways. From weakness and fatigue to hormonal imbalances and even a weakened immune system, being deficient in just one of these micronutrients can have a huge impact on athletic performance!
Whilst a varied and balanced diet will help to reduce these risks, it’s very easy to “miss something” especially if your body doesn’t absorb a specific nutrient very well!
For example, my body struggles to process and absorb vitamin D and selenium efficiently. This gives me an increased risk of being deficient, which could very easily impact my performance, immunity, recovery, and overall mood!
