Not 23 and me but I did another genetic testing. There are few problems with the overreliance of genomic testing. 

Firstly, this does not account for your entire genome, we don't know what majority of our genes do nor have we identified all the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). We are just playing roulette with the few we know. A lot of this stuff has been left behind by academic research a decade ago because it is not reliable and it is not complete. You may have a genetic snip, say C677T on MTHFR gene which would predispose you for increased blood pressure because your homocysteine may build up faster if your B12 and folate are low. But if your lifestyle is normal and you are not eating like a crazy person this will never become an issue. Now could this become an issue if you are a terrible vegan eating junk food? Yes, absolutely but mostly people will never notice any difference. 

2. What I am seeing is that genetic tests are being used as a crutch to have an excuse for poor dietary choices and lifestyle such as "genetic obesity or genetic diabetes". 

So relying on gene pool to be a sole predetermined factor for our lives are kinda like insisting that 5 year olds have a vision and purpose for their life. 

That being said if you know you are a carrier of a bad gene for example APOE4 mutation and that your risk of ALzheimer's is increased 11-fold because of that you can do a lot to make sure it never happens but people end up with Alzheimer's even without this due to poor lifestyle choices so it is only a part of the story. 

1. I am sure, in the future, the tests will be better. I would have known sooner, my body responds to fasting and volume training. I am curious about what I can do to level up. 

Not to e boast but, I look like goku coming out of the hyperbolic time chamber. I went full super sayain mode. Feels good man. 

2. I agree but people are lazy slobs. 6pack abs secrets. How to ABC FAST. 

The fitness industry sickens me. Its not fit nor healthy. I enjoyed the doc bigger faster stronger. All bros are or were on gear and none looked good. I met several ifbb pro body builders. Many youtube fitness channels. The amount of drugs is insane. 

 

I am really switched on about a ascetic holistic lifestyle of fitness and health. The reality is that its a lot of work. Look good. Feel good. Its not hurt my Dating and sex life during pandemic. That's for sure. 

I guess, I would like to know my strength and weakness. I think I can level up with the info.

I cannot speak for everyone but I'm living proof. I highly recommend it. I don't feel like I'm a ton lighter. Just less body fat. More abs, definition, and striations. The feathers...!

Nah.

I'm just saying that any type of practice that promises "amazing super-human results" are usually fishy. For example, NoFap...

What you can achieve is no food cravings, better mental clarity and lower chance of cancer. There isn't any method that promises anything, it's just people

What are your thoughts on adrenal function during IF? Maybe there could be problems with blood sugar levels changing too much or adrenal glands getting stressed because of constantly having balancing blood sugar.

Just be careful with intermittent fasting. I have found through experience it is easy to overdo if you are in an already stressed state, it can also interfere with sleep. But I do also find it works wonders... So moderation imo!
