Scientists have been working on discerning the links between genetics and obesity for decades, and one local fitness center is exploring the connection with personal DNA testing.
The program, called DNA Fit, is offered at
Motions Fitness in Marquette. Clients send in a cheek swab to analyze their DNA, then staff at Motions will design a nutrition and fitness program based on the results that is tailored to the client.
Owners Mike and Sarah Koskiniemi say the genetic testing can yield recommendations for what, exactly, a person can do to optimize their health. The cost is about $500.
