DNA Stoffwechselanalyse | inkl. 28-Tage-Plan & Rezeptbuch: which blood markers matter?

The DNA metabolism analysis (e.g., MyBody-X) identifies genetic variants that may influence energy, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. The question of which blood markers matter is crucial because DNA alone does not reflect current status. Key blood markers include: vitamin D (25-OH-D), ferritin (iron stores), homocysteine (relevant for MTHFR variants), fasting glucose, HbA1c, and a lipid panel (total, LDL, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides). These values help assess actual metabolic health and tailor the 28-day plan and recipe book. The plan is personalized based on genetics, but without blood markers, the intervention is blind. Important: consumer DNA tests are not diagnostic; abnormal blood markers require medical follow-up. The evidence for gene–blood marker links is mixed – some associations are well-supported (e.g., vitamin D and VDR), others are weak. The manufacturer emphasizes a lifestyle approach, which is reasonable, but blood markers are the essential feedback mechanism.
