When people hear about our programs, the first thing they want to know is how they work. We always explain the process, but sometimes it’s better to hear about a real experience from someone that doesn’t work for the company that makes the product. So I’d like to share the experience of Hannah Wallace, from Sarasota Magazine, with GxSlim, which she documented in the magazine’s “I was a human guinea pig” segment in June of last year.
Hannah had her GxSlim test performed at ARCpoint Labs, an affiliate partner with Genetic Direction located in Sarasota, Florida. In case you are not aware, you can purchase our tests directly from us via our website, or from a local affiliate (physician, dietitian, etc.), with the added benefit of the affiliate providing in-person coaching on diet and exercise recommendations.
After an anxious two weeks, Hannah received her results. She was a little taken aback by some of the report’s findings, but was provided clarity and reassurance once she spoke to a health professional, which she described as “arguably the most important part of this process”. Once Hannah and her health professional coach were able to customize a weight loss routine based on her genetics, she was off to the races. While some of the results may not be what a person hopes for (we can’t all have super high metabolism), some of the truth of your genes can actually be refreshingly good news. For Hannah, her good news came in the form of her fat loss response to cardio being low. She could now enjoy long walks and light jogs, which she used to think weren’t helping her, because they are the key to her losing weight from cardio. Once you know this about yourself, like Hannah, you can adjust your expectations and avoid being discouraged when you don’t reach potentially unrealistic results. Most importantly, you can modify your diet and exercise programs to take full advantage of your new-found knowledge of your genetics and see better results from your efforts.
“Now I don’t look for instantaneous weight loss. I know I have to be patient, and I know it’s not my fault—it’s my genes.” —Hannah Wallace
