Unlock the Power of Your Genetic Code with Epigenetic Performance Coaching as a part of your Personal Transformation journey
What is epigenetics?
We know lifestyle has an impact on genetics. We are not born with bad or good genes. It is all about the epigenetics. By revealing your genetic blueprint we are able to start optimizing your performance in a way that was never possible before. Stop guessing, or following “trends”. Live your life how it suits you best.
Epigenetics is the science of how your genes interact with the environment. It’s where nature and nurture merge to create the on-going expression of you.
In other words, who you are is dependent not just on the genes you were born with but how those genes interface with your environment, and how your environment influences how your genes express. That dynamic interaction is what creates who you are and how you function and feel in your life.
A simple DNA test kicks off the journey. You choose which areas you wish to deep dive into.
Who is an Epigenetic Performance Coach?
A certified epigenetic performance coach is trained in a systems based precision performance . Working in the field of optimization and upgrading the human experience, leveraging genetics, epigenetic lifestyle components and client specific goals to formulate a clear path to whole new levels of human performance. Your coach works with genetic analyses where the focus is first an foremost you and your lifestyle, and how to maximize the genetic potential you have.

“The Mosaic Biodata array offers the most advanced capture of raw data compared to any other genetic array, (over 750,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms, (SNPS). Our genetic array and interpretation process is only available to clients working with a Certified Epigenetic Performance Coach. Genetic data is simply data and yet what determines how your genes express is through your interaction with your environment. To gain truly individualized, actionable strategies requires interaction with a certified epigenetic coach who understands the complexity of the human system. Our coaches can discuss the impact of your genetics and pair them with your personal lifestyle for true optimization, this is the Mosaic difference.”
We advise to start with the following
3 Genetic panels “Nutrition, Supplementation, and Sleep”
OR
6 Genetic panels “Nutrition, Supplementation, Sleep, Detoxification, Hormones and Athletic Performance”
The journey includes a DNA swab conducted at home by you, a minimum of two interpretation & advisory sessions with an epigenetic performance advisor and access to the Mosaic Biodata portal with personalized reporting, advice and insights.
We do not save your data longer than needed for the interpretation to take place. Our lab receives your sample with a reference code, no names attached. Should you wish to receive more information on how we secure utmost privacy, please get in touch.
From our client, Crossfit Athlete Emma Tall
“I’ve analyzed my genetic blueprint to optimize my performance, including nutrition, sleep and supplementation. And I’ve learned so much!”
Here are my key takeaways:
1. Specific supplementation (what’s best for me/ what I should/shouldn’t take).
2. Sleep, what I need to do to get the best sleep possible, what type of food is best for me to eat before bed etc.
3. What food sources are good/bad for me in the long run, how do I process food.
4. Caffeine metabolism - how sensitive am I for caffeine and how long does it take me to process it.
I would recommend this to everyone that want to optimize their performance or lifestyle.
