Patents.
Our approach to turning genetic and lifestyle data into personalised programmes is backed by intellectual property in Europe and the US, including one granted patent, independently examined and recognised as novel.
Genotype-guided health & performance recommendations
Our granted patent covering methods for combining genetic markers with user data to deliver tailored, evidence-based guidance.

A system and method for generating individualised health, training and nutrition recommendations using an individual's genetic profile.
View the patentI've worked on research projects with the FitnessGenes team for several years, and I have consistently been impressed by the scientific curiosity and rigour of their approach. Their focus on translating genetic insights into evidence-based, practical health strategies reflects a much-needed shift toward bridging research and real-world application.
Published & independently validated.
Our science is held to the standard that matters: peer review. These studies underpin the trait models and recommendations inside every FitnessGenes report.
Genetics as a primer for early disease intervention
Peer-reviewed research showing how understanding genetic and neurodevelopmental factors enables earlier, better-targeted intervention before disease takes hold.

Two randomised controlled trials (FitnessGenes with Walgreens Boots Alliance & Oxford) show a proprietary nutraceutical blend plus simple sleep-hygiene advice significantly improved subjective sleep quality (PSQI).
A genotype-informed digital platform supports weight loss in obesity
Two Innovate UK-monitored, ten-week pilots (100 participants each) of FitnessGenes' genotype-informed diet-and-exercise platform saw mean weight loss of 8.2 kg and 6.8 kg with low attrition (6–8%), plus improved lean mass and cardiometabolic markers.
