“I have learnt that my body may not benefit from fad diets”

Leiliane, a customer from Brazil, wanted to improve her lifestyle and lose weight. Facing potential thyroid issues that could hinder her progress, she decided to explore her DNA with the convenience of an at-home test from MyHealthChecked. Here’s her story:

“I wanted to improve my lifestyle and lose some weight. Before I tried a test from MyHealthChecked, I considered diets like the ketogenic diet. My doctor in Brazil said that my thyroid may be imbalanced, which could affect my weight loss journey, so I wanted to explore my DNA, with the convenience of doing a test at home.

The instructions for MyHealthChecked’s Weight Management DNA Test were clear, and I received my results in less than a week, which offered insights into how my body reacts to different foods.

I have learnt that my body may not benefit from fad diets and after applying the recommendations, I am already feeling more energetic and motivated to achieve my goals. One particularly interesting insight was the impact of bread on my weight loss - as a Brazilian, I eat bread daily for breakfast, but I now try to reduce the quantity or choose a different carbohydrate.

My experience with MyHealthChecked has been impactful, provided me with valuable insights and motivated me to adopt healthier lifestyle choices. The process was straightforward, and I would definitely recommend its DNA tests.”
