I’m so sick of the toxicity and drama in the fitness industry. I hate that factions of people from certain camps of fitness will tear you apart and tell you you’re doing something wrong just because it’s not the way they would do things. #ad
WAKE UP.
We are all genetically made up of different DNA. So HOW can the same workout and diet work the same for different people?
When I saw that @circleDNA had tests to show fitness data about my body, I jumped on it. After doing my saliva swab, I waited a few weeks to get my DNA extracted and analyzed. The results confirmed a lot of things for me.
My optimal training type:
Low power – I’m not great at sprinting.
High endurance – That’s why I can keep pulsing and pulsing and pulsing…while talking and smiling!
Medium strength – Yes, so far this is true given the weights I’m lifting.
In terms of muscle development, it literally says:
“…your muscles are designed for repetitive work like high repetition weight training or longer duration cardio sessions…you will most likely achieve your best results when training with many reps, with slightly lighter weights.”
This makes so much sense!!!
Month 1 of my 90 day journey to muscle featured higher reps and not-so-heavy weights and I gained 6.3 lbs of lean tissue. In month 2 I switched to lower reps and heavier weights and only gained 2.7 lbs of lean tissue. There are other factors involved too but I think a big part of the difference was my training style.
Month 3 now features not-so-heavy weights and higher reps again. I’m feeling extra confident in my personal workout plan because now I KNOW I’m training optimally for my DNA.

This was needed to be said so thank you Cassey 🙌🏽
Hello! I’m a fourteen year old girl and growing up in middle school (soon high school! Scary 😅) your videos make me feel really good and empowered. I was diagnosed with severe depression, and I struggle with appearance. Everyone does though, so it’s so good to see good humans lifting one another up. This was so cool. Thank you so much for it all and have a lovely day!! 🙂
Hey, 17 year old here, don’t worry about high school, just put yourself out there and don’t be shy to be weird, the truer you are to yourself the more confidence you’ll have in yourself, you’ve got this! I wish you the best of luck, and everyone reading this a great day! 😀
We are long lost twins you got this this girl❤❤❤
@Ruchi Joshi thanks, I, really, appreciate, it, a, lot, 😊,
Oh my gosh you guys these reply’s. It makes me feel so good to know that there are other strong human beings out there. Thank you so much ❤️
Hey I’m 14 too and I was recently struggling with the same issues until I started focusing on my mental health and now I do what makes me happy, rather than being subjected to others’ opinions/ societies standards
You go gurl!!!💗💫💥
The hardest part is figuring out what is gonna work for you and what is not, the only way to do this is try all the popular diets and workouts and that’s what makes this journey extremely hard, if it doesn’t work, we feel like giving up on our goals, I’ve personally seen this, i always do a workout based off the comments, people are always like “Thank you I lost 10 cm in a month” whereas i barely lose 1 cm , and that used make me demotivated, but now that I’ve realised everyone is different, im just doing it at my own pace
I just workout and eat healthy and don’t even look at my body. Looking at it isn’t going to help anything. Just lead a healthy lifestyle and you’ll be fine.
Thank you for sharing this!!! I’ve been telling people these things for a few years now, since starting my own journey into genetics. I found out that I have some enzymes and other proteins that are slightly different than normal/average due to genetic mutations in my DNA. The markers that code for these enzymes and other proteins have mutated in a way that makes it difficult for me to process 5 key nutrients. These nutrients are paramount to heathy bones, eyes, thyroid function, hormone production, and the nervous system and can lead to a variety of unfortunate illnesses due to malnutrition. Fibromyalgia and glaucoma are just two of the handful of illnesses that run in my family because of these genetic mutations. Thankfully, preventing these illnesses is easier by taking these 5 nutrients in supplement form to allow my body a chance to absorb and utilize more of each nutrient. The damage cannot be reversed but the degradation of the body can be slowed greatly by adding supplements to a healthy diet. Knowing that I have this predisposition means I can better cater the nutrition I give my son so that he can have a better outcome health wise. All of our bodies are different but we are all a representation of the genetics that came before us. Mutations can happen for many reasons, including the bioavailability of certain nutrients in the diets of our ancestors. When vitamin D is highly abundant in the diet of a group of people they can survive on lower absorption rates. But when it’s less abundant they only survive if they have higher absorption rates. We see this in skin pigmentation and the way the color of our skin developed based on how close to the equator or far away we were. Darker skin needs longer in the sun than lighter skin to produce enough vitamin D naturally. The pigments in our eyes are also similar. Studies have shown that brown eyes have better protection from the sun’s rays and are less likely to get melanoma of the eye than people with blue or green eyes.
Yea, we are so much different.We can’t compare yourselfes with other people. And yes, love your body. Do what your body really needs. Eat healthy, drink water, meditate, workout, chill, sleep…I hope this will help.
P. S. Thank you Cassey so much for sharing this motivational content! We love you! 😘
She’s so inspiring! Thank you so much
Your posts are really helpful and I have a lot to look work with, thank you 😊
you know what works for everyone? Working out, not over indulging on processed food and being consistant is the key.
exactly🤦♀️
I wish I could afford this 😭
How much is the kit
Trust me you don’t need it. If you know your ethnicity you can look up probable intolerances, go to the doctor and they test for intolerances as well or you can do the elimination diet which tells intolerances.
@wolfgang around 500 to 800 dollars
Hey I love your videos😍😍 and I have a query which I think you can help me with. I’ve seen many videos regarding correct squats for women but don’t get it which one is right so, I want to know from you what actually is a proper way of doing a squat?
My brain: I just took a dna test turs out I’m a 100% bad bith
Even when I’m crying crazy
Yes- I swear that’s what I thought
@Pure Perfection yeah I got boy problems that’s the human in me
Thank you! I have to adapt my workouts because I’ve had surgery to fix floating kidney TWICE…. jumping jacks, crunches and zumba are not for my body.
I loooove that you did this! I tried to explain this to people but this 200x better! I want to take that test now honestly lol
I wanna buy a test like that! I seem to have really slow metabolism since I just go up and up in weight
Check up your thyroid. They could be the cause for your slow metabolism. Diagnosis via bloodwork.
me: an identical twin literally with the same exact dna as my twin
omg wow! could you do a longer video on this?
clap clap clap you have destroyed obesity good job I’m recommending this to my mum
