The current Pandemic has imposed (again) LOCKDOWNS!
Depending on where you live, you may find yourself not able to go out and enjoy eating at your preferred restaurant, or working out at your neighborhood gym, or just relieving some daily stress by meeting in person with your friends and loved ones... This typically means: more eating, less movement, and extra anxiety!
We want to help you get through this situation.

Starting in the New Year, VIGOR WELLNESS is planning to introduce DNA Testing as a Remote Assessment Tool for any Client interested in our Online Fitness, Nutrition and Wellness coaching Programs; this modern scientific Tool will replace our current In-person Assessment process.

You will need to take a simple DNA Swab similar to the ones done by companies like “23andMe.com” or “Ancestry.com” which will be analyzed by a certified Lab. The Test will identify your “Genetic Predispositions”, and also reveal information essential to your Fitness insights, Nutritional needs, and Sleep & Stress susceptibilities. ONLY you and us will have access to this information.

We will interpret your Genetic Data to remove the guesswork regarding the development of an Individualized Fitness, Nutrition and Wellness Program that will allow you to make actionable changes towards a healthier life.

You will get a detailed Report telling exactly how your Body will typically respond to Physical activity (Which Exercise type is best for you?), your response to various Foods (What you should or shouldn’t eat?), and your predispositions to certain Diseases that can affect your overall Wellness (How to implement healthy habits to annihilate the effect of your bad Genes?).

Then, we will design a Program that provides you with Online access to weekly Exercise Workouts and Meal Plans specifically developed for you. In addition, we will provide you with remote video and email Coaching and Support for the entire duration of the Program, so we inspire you to take control of your Health and Well-being, staying fit, eating healthy and stressing less.

The entire Program will be accessible on your preferred digital device, from the comfort of your home or office. The typical timeline is 4 months (1 month until you receive the Report, and 3 months in the actual Program). Depending on your Goals, the Program could be extended to 8 or 12 months.

In a few days I will post a short Survey to identify your interest in this type of Program.

Stay tuned!
Your coach, Gabe 💪

Hello Friends,
Today I want to summarize the information provided in our mini-series about GENETICS.
Yes, the GENES have a great influence one’s body shape, size and weight, fitness capabilities, and health in general… they trigger the so-called “Genetic Predispositions” that most people consider as “their faith” … something they cannot do anything about when it comes to “OPTIMMAL HEALTH” …
However, the GENES are only the “Loaded Gun” … The actual “Trigger” is the Environmental and Lifestyle Factors that stand as the ROOTS of the Optimal Health Tree – these are the EPIGENETICS Factors – and they are fully under one’s control.

Starting in the New Year VIGOR WELLNESS is planning to introduce DNA Testing as a Remote Assessment Tool for any Client interested in this approach. The Test will identify your “Genetic Predispositions” and help us interpret their genetic data to remove the guesswork in regard to the development of an Individualized Fitness, Nutrition and Wellness Program that will allow you to make actionable changes towards a healthier life.
You will get a detailed Report telling exactly how your Body will typically respond to Physical activity (Which Exercise type is best for you?), your response to various Foods (What you should or shouldn’t eat?), and your predispositions to certain Diseases that can affect your overall Wellness (How to implement healthy habits to annihilate the effect of your bad Genes?).
Then, the Program will provide you with Remote Online access to the Exercise Workouts and Meal Plans specifically developed for you, together with video and email Coaching and Support along the entire duration of the Program, so you can stay fit and eat healthy in the comfort of your home or office.

I will post more information in our VW-OHS Facebook Group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/563391774588110/?ref=group_header
together with the links to all 5 TED-Ed animated Lessons in this DNA series, so you can review them at your leisure.
Stay tuned!

Hello,
Tonight, I’m posting the 5th and last installment in our GENETICS mini-series Lessons.
You can learn about Epigenetics:

“What is Epigenetics” by Carlos Guerrero Bosagna

There is a conundrum: you have identical twins that originate from the same DNA ... so how can they turn out so different — even in traits that have a significant genetic component? Carlos Guerrero-Bosagna explains that while nature versus nurture has a lot to do with it, a deeper, related answer can be found within something called Epigenetics.
Watch the Lesson here:
https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-the-choices-you-make-can-affect-your-genes-carlos-guerrero-bosagna

At the end, the Lesson has some follow-up Questions to reinforce the information presented in the video; provide answers if you want. You can also just watch the video on YouTube:

Enjoy!

It’s Thursday… this means that we’ve reached the 4th Lesson in our GENETICS mini-series. Tonight’s topic is:
“Mom vs. Dad: What did you inherit” by AsapSCIENCE

It’s easy to feel like you’re an even mix of your parents, but that’s not always the case. So, who should you be blaming over those traits you don’t like? What did you inherit from your mom and what came from your dad? AsapSCIENCE explains how ancestry works.

Hi folks, we are back with part 3 of our mini-series on GENETICS. Tonight, we’ll learn about:

“What can DNA tests really tell us about our Ancestry” by Prosanta Chakrabarty

Imagine two sisters that take the same DNA test. The results show that one sister is 10% French, the other 0%. Both sisters share the same two parents, and therefore have the same set of ancestors. So how can one be 10% more French than the other? Tests like these rely on our DNA to answer questions about our ancestry, but DNA actually can’t tell us everything. Find out more from Prosanta Chakrabarty who explores the accuracy of DNA tests.
